It brings together six outcomes of individual or collaborative practices, selected through a land art open call, alongside a body of ceramic works created during an extended workshop at MATCA in June. These ceramics were later fired in an experimental kiln, built entirely from scratch by MATCA in partnership with Slow Architecture Lab, the participating artists, and close collaborators, under the guidance of Alexandru Mihai Budeș. The resulting exhibition reflects on practice, experiment, and collaboration in its many forms—from the organizational structures that brought us together, to the intimate exchanges with material, chemistry, temperature, land, and other elemental forces. It speaks more about interaction and process than about a predetermined outcome, allowing objects and interventions to carry their own stories while communicating through the same medium of expression—the ground itself, seen as a source of emergence, transformation, and continuity. -- Cultural project co-financed by the National Cultural Fund Administration (AFCN).
