Earth Moves: Shifts in Ceramic Art and Design
is a national exhibition open to artists working throughout the US.
Ceramic artists examining creative responses to shifts in world and work
are encouraged to submit images for consideration. This blended
invitational and competitive ceramic exhibition explores the challenges
and opportunities of evolving technologies, approaches to materials,
studio practices and market. NCECA and the Arvada Center for the Arts
and Humanities are collaborating on this national exhibition. NCECA
Exhibitions Director, Linda Ganstrom will work with Arvada Center's
Exhibitions Director, Collin Parson and Ceramics Director, Bebe
Alexander to select works for the exhibition. The exhibition takes
place September 12 – November 10, 2013 at the Arvada Center, a top venue for contemporary art in
Denver. The entry deadline is midnight EDT, May 28, 2013.
This week NCECA's board is meeting in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, host city of NCECA's 48th annual conference. Flow: The 2014 NCECA Invitational
will be a cornerstone of the ceramic art experience being developed
throughout the region. Flow will be held at the architecturally stunning
Milwaukee Art Museum from February 22 to March 23, 2014.
NCECA Exhibitions Director Linda Ganstrom and Mel Buchanan, Mae E.
Demmer Assistant Curator of 20th-century Design at the Milwaukee Art
Museum are exhibition organizers and co-curators. The 2014 NCECA
Invitational explores the significance of flow in physical, historical
and symbolic manifestations. We experience flow through material and
movement as embodied in water, clay and glaze. Flow can also be a
feeling as manifested in the quality of a line or the experience of
music. Flow is also the energy of electricity and
Ideas. Artists can flow in a state of focused motivation that brings a
deep enjoyment to the process of their activity. Our present fluidly
becomes our past. The museum promotes the flow of culture through the
presentation of artworks and ideas of material culture. Included artists
will be eligible for a limited reimbursement of shipping expenses and
receive a complimentary copy of the exhibition catalog. |

Show
From Ellen Reznick
I
saw a spectacular show today at The Stux Gallery in Chelsea at 530 W.
25th St.
The artist is Kathy Ruttenberg who sculpts in clay and combines
human and animal forms to tell dream-like stories which are provocative
and touching. Her mastery of the material and her color sense is
impressive and beautiful. I thought of Viola Frey's work but Kathy has a
unique vision which needs to be seen to be appreciated. The last day of
the show is Saturday so try to see it ASAP.
