Edouard Chapallaz. Swiss Ceramicist

Description

Le mudac highlights Edouard Chapallaz, one of the prominent figures of Swiss and European ceramics of the 20th century. Through an exceptional collection of works from the museum's collection, this exhibition invites rediscovery of a creator whose relentless research profoundly renewed the relationship between form, material, and fire. An undisputed master of stoneware and enamels, Chapallaz developed a unique work rooted in the earth and the landscapes surrounding him. Beyond their aesthetic qualities, his works celebrate slowness, attention to material, and respect for natural processes. Located in "Le carré," the new space at mudac, the exhibition highlights the permanence of the ceramicist's work, whose discretion is matched only by its power. It pays tribute to an artist who made ceramics not only an art but also a way of thinking, feeling, and inhabiting the world. This project is part of the "Archives du Design Romand," an initiative by mudac dedicated to the history and research of design in French-speaking Switzerland.
