Laura Lloyd, "Royal Tea"

The Foundry Art Centre presents “Ceramic Centric”, a juried exhibition of thirty-three ceramic artists from twelve states this April 12, 2019.

All exhibitions will open Friday, April 12, 2019, with a juror’s talk from Ruth Reese in the Main Gallery at 5:30 pm. The Opening Reception will be from 6-8 pm. The exhibitions are on show April 12 - May 24, 2019.

Local artist and owner of The Reese Gallery, Ruth Reese, curated this exhibition that explores modern interpretations of the ceramic medium. Sculptural and utilitarian pieces alike will both amuse and awe viewers.

Going Solo Award Winner from 2017 exhibition “Context II”, Elizabeth Conn, will be exhibiting her papier-mache sculptures in Gallery III. In “Life Is A Dance! Keep Dancing”, Conn’s sculptures take on the appearance of solid stone while possessing a weightless whimsy.

In the Ameristar Gallery, the Foundry Art Centre Studio Artists will have an exhibition of their artwork. The Studio Artists will be present in their studios during the Opening Reception to discuss their artistic process and works in progress.

"My ceramic pieces are as much about their inside as they are about their sculpted outside. Implied are the dichotomies between the inner and outer, between that which is hidden and that which is seen, between the esoteric and the exoteric, between the soul and the body. I continue to create "Metaphysical Pots" that feature water both inside and outside, becoming metaphorically both the Water of Life and the Infinite Ocean, symbolizing the continuous process between creation and transcendence. Other pieces include shapes that repeat in a pattern that follows the form of the vessel. It is a "bio-geometry" that leads the eye back to the inside of the vessel, a "Jacob’s Ladder" that leads not just up but in."

Framations Art Gallery: Friday, 15 March 2019

Framations Art Gallery invites the public to view a new art exhibit where textured surfaces are the focus. The simple title Texture refers to the surface quality of a work of art. For this exhibit, the gallery asked artists to focus on the physical textures that add to the surface of the artwork. These often create a deeper response for the viewer, as the depth brings more to examine and engage the viewer.

Texture will be on display March 15 - April 25, 2019.
Opening receptionFriday, March 15 6-8pm.

The Juror for this exhibit was Mark Witzling.

David Antonio Cruz, NOTSOPRETTYINTHEFACEBUTHEDOESITGOOD, 2018 

Fashioning the Black Body
Curated by Dario Calmese
March 15 – May 4, 2019
Opening Reception Friday, March 15th 5–8 PM

Artist and Curator Talk Saturday, March 16th 11 AM–12:30 PM

Fashioning the Black Body is a new mixed-media exhibition organized by Dario Calmese. On view from March 15 through May 4, 2019, this project surveys how fashion, style, and the garment act as devices of investigative storytelling. Featured artists include Bisa Butler, Soly Cissé, Renee Cox, David Antonio Cruz, Kenturah Davis, Hassan Hajjaj, Basil Kincaid, Mario Moore, Chris Ofili, Fahamu Pecou, Katherine Simóne Reynolds, Jacolby Satterwhite, Mickalene Thomas, and Kehinde Wiley.

As a form of identification, self-actualization, and agency, the select artists engage the fashion object from various points of its ontogeny. In turn, Fashioning the Black Body becomes a dialogue about space: the space between black skin and cloth, the space that exists between the historically commodified and fetishized black body, and the space claimed for one’s self-defined identity. “Far from the reaches of frivolity – a domain to which fashion is usually relegated – Black people have continually engaged the fashion object beyond its utilitarian functions into a device of pride, protection, resistance and camouflage,” states curator Dario Calmese.

Through the work of these artists, the Black body is transubstantiated into a semipermeable membrane between the gaze and the contents it holds – and more concretely – the tenuous distances between who we are, who we want to be, and how we are perceived.
