Like a Rumor — Joël Brodovsky-Adams

Superhouse presents Like a Rumor, a solo exhibition by Joël Brodovsky-Adams bringing together sculptural vessels and lighting that channel the energy of queer club culture into buoyant, gestural forms. Built entirely from wheel-thrown components and dressed in pattern, the works read as both characters and stage elements — theatrical objects that seem to pose, gesture or dance.

The vessel stays the point of departure even as the work moves deeper into sculpture: necks become limbs, openings disappear into other bodies, and a wall of ceramic hooks tests how much ornament a functional object can carry before its use is negated. The exhibition is accompanied by an essay by Michael Bullock on ornament, gesture and queer pleasure.
