Fingers crossed Craft Contemporary's clay biennial can safely reopen. Until then, you can sample the strong work here.

Craft Contemporary, formerly called the Craft and Folk Art Museum, has followed its inaugural clay biennial of 2018 with a second iteration that is consistently engaging and more tightly conceived than the first.

The biennial — “The Body, The Object, The Other” — gathers work by 21 artists, about half based in L.A. Like the first biennial, this show was curated in-house by Holly Jerger and Andres Payan Estrada. Raven Halfmoon’s “Caddo Dancing in Binger, Olkahoma,” 2019. Stoneware and glaze, 27 inches by 27 inches by 62 inches.

‘s participatory project, “Something to Hold Onto,” visitors contribute their own grip-formed beads of clay, each like a little raised fist of solidarity.’ immersive “Ghost,” viewers enter a small, unlighted chamber with a raw clay floor and a pulse-quickening audio track of a past performance, in which the artist confronted and assaulted a 2,000-pound block of clay in complete darkness.
