MISS AND HIT
Through a series of clay sculptures, the exhibition presents a bold and evocative exploration of destruction, resilience, and transformation. Drawing inspiration from a ceramic tradition, the artworks attempt to integrate intuitive hand-building techniques with a radical process—wet clay forms are shot from a distance using a hunting gun, creating unpredictable ruptures that become integral to the final pieces. Fired at high temperatures, the sculptures retain the marks of impact, embodying a dialogue between creation and destruction.
Engaging with themes of memory, colonial histories, and the fragility of cultural heritage, MISS AND HIT reflects on the violence inflicted upon both people and land while also emphasizing endurance and regeneration.
The exhibition marks the end of Wendimagegn Belete’s three-month residency as part of the FABRIKKEN Air residency programme – A research programme that welcomes visual artists based in the Nordic and Baltic countries in three-months residencies. The FAIR residency programme is supported by Nordic Culture Point, Det Obelske Familiefond and The Danish Arts Foundation.
