The concept of CRMCS began in 2018 after a meeting between Elke Helbig of Zwart Huis and ceramicist Kris Campo. Their meeting sparked an eagerness to put ceramics on a pedestal and pay homage to the expressive power, sensuality, tactility, display value and visual richness of the medium of clay.

In this third edition, Kris Campo is curating works by six Belgian and international contemporary artists: Johannes Nagel, Patrick Loughran, Alberto Scodro, Sien Godderis, Nathalie Doyen and Caroline Andrin. CRMCS#3 focuses on the visual language of clay and colors outside the lines. Kris Campo has selected surprising work, in terms of design, sometimes even leading the viewer astray. CRMCS#3 offers a distinct look at the place of ceramics in the visual landscape and revolves around the interaction between the work and the visions of the various artists. The works are combined with each other to create their own scenography.

After the subdued CRMCS#2 with its white and black tones, the new edition features a distinctive tempered color palette. The different facets of clay are the guiding principle of the exhibition. For some artists, the classical vessel form is transcended by its expressive power. Others begin from the sculptural experience of the materiality of clay.
