With artists Laëtitia Badaut Haussmann, Pierre Baey, André Bloc, Katinka Bock, Karine Bonneval and Charlotte Poulsen, Michele Ciacciofera, Johan Creten, Patrick Crulis, the Campbell Works collective of Harriet Murray and Neil Taylor with Christine Cynn and Valentin Manz, Thierry Fontaine, Élisabeth Joulia, Anne Kjærsgaard, Ana Mendieta, Sophy Naess, Cécile Noguès, Mel O'Callaghan, Brigitte Penicaud, Marie Preston, Selma and Sofiane Ouissi, Janneke Raaphorst, Richard Serra, Natsuko Uchino, Claude Varlan, Michel Wohlfahrt, and a selection of traditional pieces from La Borne.

Natural, raw, raw, raw earth, extracted from the landscape, the raw material for expression. Malleable clay, workable, it accompanies potters of all times. Experimentally, she has nurtured artistic projects at the environmental level with Earth art or at the material level in conceptual art. Earth, nourishing mother, she is also the territory of the intimate, of the body, the place of identity. More than ever, it is now a renewed expression in the field of plastic arts and crafts and combines practices, references and expressions.

Overcoming the gap between scholarly and popular culture, between gestural and intellectual knowledge, between technique and concept, I dreamt that the taste of crushed brick is a resolutely hybrid exhibition. It addresses the different artistic appropriations of ceramics, through a selection of sculptures and utilitarian objects, photographs, videos, installations and architectural constructions.
