A takeover of Good Chemistry — the laneway cafe and gallery space at Ace Hotel Sydney — and the adjoining Foy Lane for a weekend of PLAY led by Karen Black and a group of renowned and rising Australian ceramicists. The program is curated by Flack Studio, the interior design studio for Ace Hotel Sydney, and invites members of the public of all ages to participate in creating a small ceramic piece under the guidance of artists, many of whose works appear throughout Ace Hotel Sydney. These public-made figures will then become part of a growing exhibition in Good Chemistry for the week. The exhibition will be supported by a sound installation of the designers talking to the history of ceramics in Australia. Sign-up to learn when tickets are available.
