- During the Biennial, visiting hours are 10am to 4pm
The Way Out by Fernando Casasempere
Through a fascination with the imprint left by humans on the earth, Fernando Casasempere draws on archaeology, geology, landscape and architecture to explore urgent global ecological and social concerns through the lens of his native Chile.
For Award 2025, Fernando will present an installation of boxes housing all the “waste” he’s kept in an effort to minimise his environmental footprint. From sculptures shattered in the kiln to accidentally broken pieces, he will repurpose and install these remnants, transcending them into new artworks documenting Fernando’s creative journey.
Artist Talks

The Artist Talks will provide a unique insight into the work and careers of some of the artists and the work they have created especially for the 2025 Biennial.
Each talk will be 30 minutes, followed by a 15-minute Q&A. They will all take place at Spode Works. Ticket fees are pay-what-you-can.
