Museum Closing Reception: Thursday, November 29, 2012
4:30 – 6:00 pm

This special exhibition involves nineteen pieces from the permanent collection. They have a common visual softness - a pillowy, rounded feel that along with their complexity in form, color and intent hope to give you pause. Each piece necessitates a closer look. They range in size from Christine Federighi’s tiny 2 -1/2 inches high landscape to Giselle Hicks’ sculpture ‘embedded’ that is 7 feet in depth. The majority of these ceramic pieces have been made with off-the-wheel techniques utilizing the processes of slab building, pinching, and casting. The surfaces are also diverse with detailed drawings, decals, and finger marks, while others are crisp and glossy with no evidence of the human hand. 

Included are work by artists J. David Broudo, Christine Federighi, Wayne Higby, Ken Little, David Shaner, Robert Sperry, Toshiko Takaezu and Robert Winokur; MFA Gloryhole work by Giselle Hicks, Jae Won Lee, Jeffrey Kaller, Sinisa Kukec, and Katherine West; and selections from the visiting artist collection by Anton Reijnders and Elsa Sahal. In addition there are historic Chinese pieces.

January 25 - February 23, 2013
Opening Reception: Jan. 25
7-9 PM

Featuring the work of two glass installation artists, Gage|Gaze is inspired by optical observations of inner and outer landscapes and the exploration of measuring devices.

Takizawa, born and raised in Nagano, Japan, uses self-awareness fueled by a history of dislocation as an inheritance of her immigrant status to make glass art depicting the mitigation of inner and outer self.

Using light as it is seen outside of and contained in glass Takizawa builds a dialogue characterized by juxtaposing perceptual shifts between the inner substances of her work and its outward projecting appearance. Takizawa uses the observation of this relationship to build a narrative of inner self versus and relating to outer self, a concept close to home due to her emigration from Japan years ago.

Björk, an internationally cultivated glass artist describes her work as searching for new ways to expand the technical and expressive boundaries of her medium.

She considers the duality of time as the fleeting minute instance and the loom upon which life is played out, eventually out running life itself. This relationship of the finite moment rolling itself out infinitely into a vaster agent founds ideas of liquidity and the expressions of transience within her work.  Through ideas concerning attempts to measure Björk emphasizes the ephemera of life.

April 25 - August 2, 2013
Museum Reception: Thursday, April 25 4:30 – 6:00 p.m.

This exhibition highlights some of the animal representations in the Museum’s permanent collection. These owls, snakes, various birds, elephant, dogs and tapir, to name a few, are each made of ceramics by various artists.
The artists include Alanna DeRocchi, Bruce Gholson, David Weinrib, Linda Cordell, Matthew Metz, Akio Takamori, Peter Morgan, Beth Low, Shoko Teruyama, Kurt Weiser, and Jenny Lind. Some of the animals are freestanding on all fours while others are on just two. Others are in low relief, cleverly growing from a vessel and another’s head becomes the finial of a lid. There are examples of animal images utilizing the sgraffito technique on the sides of vessels from the fourteenth and the twenty-first centuries and others with two-dimensional rendering in slip or glaze. A Peruvian zoomorphic pot made more than one thousand years ago will share the gallery with an object representing the same animal, but produced last year - reminding us again of the long history of clay’s interaction with the life forms sharing our earth.
