Sluice, NECROLOGY & Dig Me A Grave – the Afterlives of Shows, 2025

Sluice magazine, Death Issue. 

A conversation with artist Claye Bowler, who throughout 2025 has toured the solo exhibition Dig Me A Grave at Steamworks Gallery, London; Auction House, Cornwall; and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefield. Bowler’s work Over my Dead Body also featured in NECROLOGY – an exhibition curated by artist-curator Dr. Victoria Sharples at Haarlem Artspace, Wirksworth, in partnership with the New Materialist Research Group (NMRG). In this two-way interview, Bowler and Sharples explore trans-archives, the preservation of bodies, exhibition-making, and the ‘afterlives’ of shows.
