Migrating and Transplanting
Migrating and transplanting have generated a sense of displacement and a constant negotiation of Ho’s identity. She express and describe the collision of Eastern and Western cultures: new vs. old, technology vs. tradition, communication vs. language, esthetics vs. cultural identity and economy vs. power. Ho examines relationships between the language of symbols and the symbols of ornament inspired by Chinese porcelain export-wares. She use icons, signs and corporate logos to re-contextualize the intersecting cultures in the 21st century economic globalization. > Sin-Ying HoFind more info on their website here.
Artist talk and demonstration – Julie York @ University of Manitoba
Julie York’s work deals with complex themes – means of processing information, cognition and recognition, how one sees and perceives objects – issues typically not explored within the ceramics medium. She is one of a handful of young makers currently redefining the use of clay in sculptural work and her efforts have been recognized. York received the Pew Fellowship in the Arts in 2007, the Independence Foundation Fellowship in 2006 and two Creative Production Grants from the Canada Council for the Arts.
Julie York is an Assistant Professor of Visual Arts and Material Practice at Emily Carr University, where she teaches in the Ceramics Department. She received her BFA from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in 1996 and her MFA from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 2000. Subsequently she has held fellowships and residencies at the Clay Studio in Philadelphia and at the International Ceramic Research Centre, Guldagergaard, in Skaelskor, Denmark.

Conversation With – Mark Shapiro
|
Studio Potter, Author and editor of “A Chosen Path” The Ceramic Art of Karen Karnes
Thursday, August 5 Mark Shapiro will discuss how modern style design is referenced, integrated, and incorporated in his current work in “Bottles and Other Muses” at Ferrin Gallery and the book he edited on the life of Karen Karnes. Join us for a reception prior to the conversation to hear more about 20/21 Modern Style and Studio Craft, the first in a series of exhibitions and programs in the Berkshires August – October 2010 organized by ART BERKSHIRES. Shapiro’s conversation is the first event in a weekend of related programs taking place August 5-8 in Lenox and Pittsfield. In Mark Shapiro’s third solo exhibition “Bottles and Other Muses”, Shapiro continues an ongoing exploration of bottle forms with non-narrative, abstract, rhythmic line patterns. Like the artist Sol Lewitt, Shapiro uses the power of line on surface to explore gestural, expressive calligraphic fields of scratched lines that imply music, writing, and history. Unlike Lewitt, his medium is studio ceramics and his color palette is derived from the results of firing with wood fuel. Focusing on the bottle form he stretches the various parts—neck, handles, body—all of which are exaggerated by scale. The larger works range to five feet in height. Mark Shapiro recently completed a three-year project The Chosen Path: The Ceramic Art of Karen Karnes, a book of essays and archival materials to accompany her traveling retrospective exhibition. The modernist Karnes (1925– ) made some of the most iconic pottery of the 20th century and continues to work into her eighties. “What’s also fascinating about Karnes,” says Shapiro, “is that her life intersects with many of the most important cultural movements of the postwar period. She helped invent studio ceramics as we know it today.” 437 North Street
