Closing Reception for Vessels & Voids: Architects and Ceramic Artists Explore Organic Spaces

Join the artists from our 2025 Mentoring Curator Exhibition, Vessels & Voids: Architects and Ceramic Artists Explore Organic Spaces, on Sunday, September 28, for casual conversations and to celebrate the exhibition’s closing.

This experimental exhibition explores exciting advances in engineering and 3D printing that are reshaping how organic forms emerge in architecture—on a scale far beyond the hand-built earthen structures humans have crafted for millennia.

Inspiration ranges from Zaha Hadid’s fluid Aliyev Center in Baku to Studio Gang’s striking Natural History Museum in New York, from the promise of 3D-printed clay dwellings for temporary and affordable housing to the sculptural luxury of Bjarke Ingels Group’s hotel in Marfa. Vessels & Voids asks: what new forms are taking shape—and where are they leading us?

Drinks and light fare will be provided.

This program is free and open to the public. RSVP below to let us know you’ll be joining us.
