Mythology Meets Archetype @ The Northern Clay Center

by | Feb 27, 2014 | Uncategorized


Mar 14 to Apr 27
Main Gallery
 
Mythology Meets Archetype is
curated by Heather Nameth Bren, NCC exhibition committee member,
professor, and ceramic artist. It will feature the artworks of Christie
Brown (London, UK), Philip Eglin (London, UK), Michelle Erickson
(Yorktown, VA), Bonnie Marie Smith (Kingston, NY), and Vipoo Srivilasa
(Melbourne, AU). The works in the exhibition will respond to personal,
cultural, and religious myths that have grown out of the desire to know
(or the posture to know) the unknowable. Symbols of the god figure, the
mother figure, the self, and the demon have been used to describe
ancient and contemporary narratives. This archetypal cast of characters
is employed as agents of one’s personal or cultural identity, spiritual
devotion, and even power to control the masses.

Vipoo Srivilasa will be in residence at Northern Clay Center prior to
the exhibition working with community members on a collaborative
project. Stay tuned for more information!

I thought this was interesting being that it’s tax time and I have to go through my numbers from the last year. No comment as to where I would place….I personally would like to see a hands up as to who is that 3% in the emerging category that’s bringing in 100k + : )

Now I’m off to see if I can find a Canadian comparison. Anyone know of one?
