It starts with a simple idea: massive cubes of clay, half a meter
high. The sculptures of Mexican artist Bosco Sodi (*1970 in Mexico
City), cubes of fired clay stacked in high columns, ought to have
exploded while being fired due to the extreme heat released in the
material: sand, earth, and water. The richly illustrated
publication on Sodi's Clay Cubes explores the course of his
experiment. He worked for several months creating the cubes, from
compounding the material through layering and forming to drying and
firing them in a kiln built especially for this purpose. Piled up
to columns in the exhibition, they resemble the proportions of the
human body and at the same time create an architecture reduced to
the essential. Each cube bears the traces of the work process,
following Sodi's typical approach: the process of trying out and
arriving as a result whose appearance he may influence, but not
foresee.
