Ying-Yueh Chuang: In Search of Paradise

Ying-Yueh Chuang, Flower Series #1 (detail). Fabric, porcelain, 302 x 265 x 12 cm. 2011
“As
a collector of things, it is the small elements that most people
overlook that inspire me most, the pieces that are thrown out or read as
undesirable. “

The North-West Ceramics Foundation is pleased to announce Ying-Yueh Chuang as their featured speaker at a free public lecture Thursday, November 29, at 7:30 pm.
The lecture will be held in Room 245 in the North Building of Emily
Carr University of Art + Design (1399 Johnston Street, Granville Island,
Vancouver). All are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Born
and raised in Taiwan, Ying-Yueh Chuang came to Canada in the 1990s,
attending and receiving a diploma from Langara College in 1997 and a BFA
from Emily Carr Institute in 1999. She received her MFA in Ceramics
from NSCAD University, after which she participated as an Artist-in
Residence at Harbourfront Centre in Toronto, where she continues to live
and work, from 2001 to 2004. Chuang received the Winifred Shantz Award
for Ceramics in 2006 as well as a number of Provincial and Canada
Council awards for her work. Her work is included in numerous public
collections such as the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the Canada Council
Art Bank and the WOCEK Icheon World Ceramic Centre in Korea, and it has
been featured in Art in America, Ceramics Monthly, Ceramic Review and Ceramics Art & Perception.
She has participated in exhibitions in Canada, the United States,
Hungary, Taiwan, Korea, China and Australia. In May of 2012, her work
was shown in a two-person travelling exhibition with Eliza Au, Variations on Symmetry, at the Evergreen Art Gallery in Coquitlam.
Chuang
finds inspiration in things as simple as a grocery store, where the
myriad forms and textures of vegetables suggest possibilities for
exploration. Observing plants, she notices how structures and
environments integrate and repeat to make complex wholes, which have the
potential to expand exponentially. Much of her work incorporates
complex symmetries, which she observes in nature, using hundreds of
brightly glazed components assembled on site. Often organized
geometrically, her compositions suggest scientific specimens, with
figures pinned to a board rather than left living and free. Underlying
the candy-coloured surfaces is an examination of order and freedom, both
personal and social, which reflects her experience in both the
populated, fairly homogenous culture of Taiwan, where rigid expectations
govern family and social relations, and the sparsely populated and
heterogeneous Canadian environment. Chuang values both, and her
installations grow out of mediating the tensions between the two
cultures.
The lecture will take place on Thursday, November 29 at 7:30 pm in Room 245, NB, Emily Carr University. We look forward to seeing you there.

A Month of Ceramics @ Willock and Sax Gallery


Bradley Keys – Grounded

Reception, November 3, 3 to 5 pm
Artist Talk 3:30

Banff, Alberta:

 November is once again the month to
focus on ceramics at the Willock & Sax Gallery.  This year we
feature Bradley Keys, who explores the geography of Western Canada in Grounded.  Our group show The Makings III
includes artists such as Ed Bamiling, Neil Liske, Robin Dupont, Emily
Schroeder Willis, Do-Hee Sung and many other ceramics artists.  Join us
for Grounded and The Makings III at the Willock & Sax Gallery starting November 1 through to 30th. 

Bradley Keys enjoys the interplay of his work with clay and the 3D
aspects of our surrounding geography.  As we move within our
environment, so we interact with his works, taking in all the various
viewpoints and responses that involvement in place offers.  The forms
and glazes of Bradley’s hand-built ceramic pieces incorporate the
rhythms and colors of the prairie and the mountains.  This artist loves
the land and offers us opportunities to take a bit of it home to enjoy
and cherish.

Join us for the Reception at the Willock & Sax Gallery, 210 Bear St, in Banff on Saturday, November 3 from 3-5 pm.

November 1 – 30 and continuing through until Christmas

Les Manning

Gallery Talks
The Artist and The Curator
Saturday, November 24, 3-5 pm

As part of our Month of Ceramics and coinciding with the November
24 reception for the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies exhibition

Les Manning Common/Opposite
(November 7-December 5),
we are pleased to have Les Manning and Joanne Marion (curator, Esplanade) speaking about the exhibition and ceramics in general at our gallery.

Continue the discussion down Bear Street at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies reception at 7 pm.

Manning’s new works show a rich emotional and metaphorical register
while drawing deeply upon his personal experiences and knowledge of
Canada’s lands. Juxtaposing forms, textures and colours, Manning evokes
the monumental reach of modernism as an artistic endeavour. Playful
references to the humble objects of everyday lighten his sophisticated
and contemporary appreciation of the more base aspects of nature, to
reveal the rich and contradictory poetry of our ordinary world.
