The Hort is pleased to present Vessels, a group exhibition of recent works by five NY-based ceramic sculptors, ranging from emerging to the firmly established.
The artists are influenced by traditional ceramic objects, from storage vessels, to pots and planters, to vases, but use the medium to defy prevailing associations with decoration and utility.
From Brie Ruais' sculptural performances to Nicole Cherubini’s pot assemblages, each artist in Vessels finds unique ways to mold clay to successfully evoke and challenge ceramic convention to examine entangled issues of body, function, craft, domesticity, and beauty.

Video Stills: Time and a Half, 2003, single channel video, 3:40 minutes
This exhibition, featuring work by Australian and international artists, seeks to critique the often held belief that feminists – and in turn feminist art – are not funny. While feminist practice often continues to be represented as earnest and authoritative, humour has always been an important and potent tool for feminist artists – in its ability to simultaneously disrupt and entertain, humour lends itself readily to one of the overarching goals that unites the many feminisms; to challenge and destabilize patriarchy. Backflip will present a range of strategies and approaches from slapstick to satire, detouring through irony and black humour.
Artists: Louise Lawler, Guerrilla Girls, Pipilotti Rist, Tracey Moffatt, Patty Chang, Mika Rottenberg, Pushpamala N, Melanie Bonajo, Frances (Budden) Phoenix, Christian Thompson, Brown Council, Nat & Ali, Hotham Street Ladies, Catherine Bell, Alice Lang, Hannah Raisin, Catherine or Kate and Paul Yore. Additional elements: Video lounge of funny feminist videos by VCA alumni made during their studies.
