At @currents.berlin, @forma__gallery Explores Material Transformation with ‘Temper’

During the first edition of Currents Berlin, FORMA Gallery presents Temper, bringing @veronikajanovec’s ceramic sculptures into dialogue with the hand-knotted carpets of @jankathdesign. 

Rather than seeking formal similarities, the exhibition begins with material transformation. Clay, wool and silk respond to pressure, heat, water and manipulation, acquiring their identities through processes that alter their surfaces, textures and structures. The title Temper reflects this condition: the search for a new balance between different elements, but also the character that emerges through change.

In Janovec’s Nests, Winged and Armour series, ceramic forms fold, crack and open, moving between protection and exposure, weight and flight. Fire becomes part of the making process, leaving visible traces without destroying the material. Jan Kath Design similarly approaches the surface as a site of transformation, combining centuries-old hand-knotting techniques with wool and silk to move the carpet beyond its conventional functional role.

Founded by spatial designer and curator Vanessa Heepen, FORMA Gallery operates precisely within these shifting territories. At Temper, sculpture, design and craft are not treated as fixed categories, but as practices connected through material, time and making.
