Unmaking of a ceramic sculpture. ‘I don’t’ want to grow up’ is performed by Ramones and was originally written by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan. I first heard it on Bob Dylan’s ‘Theme Time Radio Hour’ show and loved it. I had it on repeat as I was doing this piece, which is titled after it.

Italian sculptor Alessandro Gallo comes to Chicago to participate in a month-long residency and instruct a 3-day workshop in figurative ceramic sculpture.
Alessandro Gallo is an Italian artist currently residing in Genoa, Italy. After studying Law at the University of Genoa, Alessandro moved to London where he studied at Central St Martin’s College of Art; followed by a BA at Chelsea School of Art, graduating in 2002. Since 2002, his work has been exhibited at Jill George Gallery and in group shows in London and Italy. His artwork has also been featured in major art fairs in the UK and the US. In 2003,2005 and 2006, Gallo exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. In 2006 his first solo exhibition was held at Jill George Gallery and the second solo show in February 2008. His work features human/animal hybrids, across many media and especially clay. Animals have biological features and behavioral patterns that can be extended to humans, lending themselves to embody humorously- the basic disposition of a person, his kernel or ‘nature’. For more information and pictures of the work, visit www.alessandrogallo.net
Alessandro will hold a workshop at Lillstreet clay studio in Lakeside, Michigan (70 miles north of Chicago). Daily sessions will focus on fundamentals of how to create a sculpture, taking an idea and making it real. Demonstrations, talks and slideshows will be accompanied by hands-on experimentation. Pieces completed by participants will be fired after the workshop and available for pickup within four weeks.
