Exhibition

“GREYSCALE” at Max Radford Gallery

16th - 24h September 2023

Clink Street Ceramics is pleased to be exhibiting a selection of our “Clink Street ‘88” ceramic pieces at a new exhibition at Max Radord Gallery. The hand-thrown vessels explore an unlikely series of Acid House raves and parties in Clink Street that changed the face of youth culture in the UK.

‘Greyscale’ is the first show of a group of artists and designers that are new to Max Radford Gallery. For this show the Gallery has sought to look beyond the usual parameters of design and into the work of object-based creative practices. A group of fourteen creatives whom the Gallery has been following have been asked to contribute to the show.

The show features work from: Andrew Pierce Scott, Natalia Triantafylli, Victor Nyberg, Grace Prince, Tom Bull, Gillies Adamson Semple, George Richardson, Georgia Merritt, LS GOMMA, Ty Locke, Sofia Bordin, Louie Isaaman-Jones, Fred Thomson and Clink Street Ceramics.

Max Radford Gallery has always sought to exhibit works that experiment with the parameters of design, alongside a continuous examination of the fine art world within London. Its suggestion of design objects and domestic space-based narratives has driven a need to show works from both art and design within the same space.

The title Greyscale, alludes to a series of tones ranging from black to white that encompasses the Gallery's approach to the fields of art and design; they can become a spectrum that can be navigated and explored as one volume. This approach can also be applied to a single practice where one's creative realisations can register in both fields, neither being mutually exclusive.

Max Radford Gallery is keen to show a product-focused design world where adjacent areas of creativity can be ignored or othered, despite its broader impact on design.

The Gallery seeks to reveal areas of design to an arts world that may have resigned it to merely clever solutions.

Max Radford Gallery will continue to work within these grey areas and looks forward to bringing further multidisciplinary shows to London in the future.
