RUNNING UNTILL SEPTEMBER 10th, 2026

Through fluid, abstract, and ambiguous forms, these objects reflect a complex, fragmented, and transforming society. In their non-functionality emerge questions about power, normality, inclusion, and exclusion

RUNNING UNTILL SEPTEMBER 10th, 2026

In the present, design no longer speaks with a single voice. Contemporary designers carry different experiences, cultures, and perspectives. Experimentation becomes a tool for questioning hierarchies, expectations, and systems of value. Dysfunction is not a failure, but a conscious choice: a critical space in which the object stops serving in order to begin meaning

RUNNING UNTILL SEPTEMBER 10th, 2026

For a long time, design was governed by precise rules: utility, comfort, efficiency. Form was expected to respond to a function, the object to a defined need. This approach built an idea of progress that was linear, measurable, and apparently neutral. Today, however, these rules reveal their limits.

22/05/2026

We live in an era in which the boundaries between design and art are
becoming increasingly permeable. Function is no longer the only
criterion of value and, in some cases, it is deliberately called into question.
The objects in this exhibition do not necessarily ask to be used, but to be
read: as signs, as positions, as testimonies.
In the past, what has been defined as *ugly design* often represented a
deviation from dominant aesthetic and functional norms. Objects
considered excessive, uncomfortable, or incoherent because they did not
adhere to a shared idea of order and utility. Reconsidered today, these
works reveal a latent political tension: the refusal of singular, standardized,
universalizing models.

Rather than offering fixed answers, the works in this exhibition invite reflection on how material processes can mirror social dynamics: diversity, negotiation, fragility, and transformation. Through clay, these ideas become visible and tangible.

Over time, ceramics has evolved from a purely functional object into a medium for artistic and conceptual expression. Today it allows artists to address social questions, identity, and collective experience through material practice.

work by VALERIIA PUGACH

Working with clay requires a balance between control and unpredictability. The material reacts to pressure, water, gravity, and fire. Each stage of the process—from shaping to firing—introduces variables that influence the final result.
