demo station: TerraCò – Metaceramics: a performative laboratory of botanical impression techniques on clay

TerraCò presents "Metaceramics: a performative laboratory of botanical impression techniques on clay"

Tamara Galenski and Betsy Hernandez, ceramic artists and founders of the TerraCò Association, activate the work untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9), 2026 through a botanical impression workshop, in which clay and nature enter into direct dialogue.
During the workshop, participants will create a small clay object onto which leaves and plants will be impressed, leaving their own indelible mark on the very earth that generated them.
The TerraCò Association is active in Milan, in the Corvetto neighborhood.

The event takes place on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s installation untitled 2026 (demo station no. 9). The stage-like structure invites people to “demonstrate” something. The combination of the words demo and station in the work’s title refers respectively to the abbreviation of demonstration—understood both as a protest and as a presentation of someone’s talent or hobby —and to station, that is, an accessible place where such “demonstrations” can occur. For the duration of the exhibition, the installation provides a space for daily public activations.
