Bringing together a range of artists working with clay, Possibilities and Losses exposes contemporary thinking and making in this media. These artists challenge traditional perceptions about clay practice and its relationship to the historic model of craft.

Possibilities and Losses has been curated by mima together with Clare Twomey, an artist who is at the forefront of practice in this area, and whose work is included in the exhibition. An accompanying publication will map the dialogues and histories that have led crafts makers to seek conceptually challenging practice on the borders of craft knowledge.

This exhibition has been organised in partnership with the Crafts Council.

Mapping an Uncertain Terrain will bring together a group of works from mima's fine art and craft collections that will address or propose awkward questions about the meandering path of art history.

mima has invited artist Mark Garry to create a new work for project space 1. His site-specific installations are skilfully rendered using a range of materials including thread, beads and pins. As such each work is unique, a personal response to the individual character of the exhibition spaces. The visual impact of Garry's installations is created through their gravity defying arrangement and spectrum of colour.

Swedish artist Henrik Håkansson has been producing videos, sound works, and large-scale installations since the early 1990s. His attentive observation and recording of the rhythms of life and his study of plants and animals are the basis for a wider reflection on patterns and cycles found in nature. mima sound space is located on the third floor outdoor terrace.
