Archivorum presents Slip Pop, Reinvented Pottery, an exhibition bringing into resonance the ceramic practices of Alison Britton, Philip Eglin, Simone Fattal, and Magdalena Suarez Frimkess.
Moving beyond the format of a conventional group show, the project unfolds as a carefully orchestrated encounter between distinct generations, geographies, and artistic languages, all converging around the expressive and conceptual potential of clay.
Unfolding during two pivotal moments in Milan, MiArt and Salone del Mobile, the project operates as a conceptual bridge between contemporary art and design culture. In this context, ceramics emerges not as a marginal practice, but as one of its most dynamic terrains.
Drawing on works from the Rigo Saitta Collection, the exhibition is conceived as a site specific installation that inhabits the space as a lived environment rather than a neutral display. The works enter into a spatial and intellectual dialogue connecting art, design, and publishing, dissolving disciplinary boundaries and foregrounding ceramics as a field of experimentation.
Clay here operates as a medium of translation, moving between object and sculpture, surface and structure, intimacy and monumentality. Through narrative imagery, formal rigor, historical memory, and processes of reinvention, the works approach ceramics as a contemporary language capable of absorbing cultural references, political undertones, and personal mythologies.
The exhibition takes place at Magic Milano, a former wine cellar transformed into an intimate underground gallery in the heart of the city, where art, design, and encounter coexist within a singular spatial experience.
To discover the space visit Magic Milano.
