a site 2 see friday: pedestal

Pedestal
is an online meeting place for Artists, Galleries, and Collectors.  We
are interested in creating a collective, high standard of Fine Craft and
Fine Art.  Pedestal is a team of professionals that bring in three
different views concerning Art, Education, and Business.  Bringing these
worlds together is not innovative or new, however it is an idea that we
support and want to be an integral part in developing.

Pedestal’s
mission is to ‘connect Art to the World through technology.’ As an
Artist it is my job to create strength in the importance of these
connections and standards in Art.  Innovate and create, Pedestal seeks
to support artists and their visions by capturing a Studio Artist’s
career and ideas.  Pedestal is a platform for Artists to use as an
exhibition space, we seek to maintain integrity as this platform by
inviting quality professional Artists.
As
a Communications and Residency Coordinator at the Red Lodge Clay Center
I am involved in Education, Studio, and Business in Art, and being a
studio artist I am consistently trying to succeed and challenge my
career.  I know first hand the struggles of handling a job you love, a
studio practice, and a self-proprietorship. Pedestal is designed to
help, we are an active agent working for the studio artist through
marketing…so while you are making and thinking in the studio, let
Pedestal do your business!

THE GARDINER MUSEUM PRESENTS
THE 2013 ARTIST INTERVENTION SERIES

AN TE LIU
MONO NO MA
September 7 – November 11, 2013
For MONO NO MA acclaimed artist An Te Liu
is creating a new body of sculptures which explore the spaces around
things. While mono is Japanese for ‘object’, ma is a more elusive term
referring to ‘space’ or ‘gap’, but one which is simultaneously aware of
form and non-form.
Drawing inspiration from artefacts found in
the Gardiner’s Ancient Americas collection, Liu works with the remains
from our contemporary consumer milieu, conjuring new forms borne out of
emptiness – entities poised between the familiar and the enigmatic,
material and immaterial, thing and no-thing.

ABOVE: An Te Liu, Aphros,
2013. Press moulded earthenware with sawdust additions, copper oxide
slip, and pigmentation, 42 x 45 x 13.5 cm. Plaster Base / mold segment,
28 x 44.5 x 10 cm.
