Material: Concrete
Take a new look at an everyday substance at Artisan's latest exhibition.
Overview
Artisan's new showcase aims to achieve something that you probably don't think is possible. Yes, it wants to make you look at coarse aggregate bonded together and hardened by cement in a completely different way. Of course we're talking about concrete — and it's not just the substance your daily city playground is built out of. Dating back millions of years, it's also instrumental in human design and creativity.
Material: Concrete works through the various ways the material in the spotlight can be used, spanning the artistic and experimental as well as the industrial and everyday. You should have some idea of what'll be on offer, but expect some surprises along the way as well. You can't dive into all things concrete without touching upon architecture; however, concrete art and jewellery isn't something we all come across quite as frequently.
