In Clay Pop, an exhibition of thirty-seven contemporary artists working with clay, curated by Alia Williams at Jeffrey Deitch, Charlap Hyman & Herrero designed a geometric landscape to present the varied ceramic pieces. The first large show to document a new generation of artists reinventing a medium that has historically been characterized as more craft than art, Clay Pop explores it as a dynamic vehicle for formal and conceptual innovation.

The massive multi-tiered gallery space, bathed in a pale lavender-gray paint, has been reformed as a series of interconnected plinths and platforms. Suggesting an excavation site or a ruin from which ancient pottery might be extracted, small lavender drawings of broken ceramic shards by Pilar Almon, printed as decals, are pasted on every surface as if suspended in the atmosphere like stars in the sky. The way the illustrations dot the rooms enhance the presence of the works on display and obliterate the contours of the gallery, appearing almost infinite. Pieces by Katie Stout, Raven Halfmoon, Elizabeth Jaeger, Woody de Othello, Ruby Neri, Sterling Ruby, and Grant Levy-Lucero float in the tender universe of this groundbreaking show.
