Christina Schou Christensen @ Gallery Sofie Lachaert

Ceramic glaze and earthenware, conventional materials, are intriguingly unconventionally used. Whereas
glaze usually acts as a mere covering layer in order to protect and to ornament earthenware,
Christensen swaps roles and examines the material for its form determining properties and
possibilities. The viscosity of the glaze, the porosity of the ceramic, the temperature of the kiln and
ever-present gravity serve as the tools in Christensen’s ongoing research, leading to mesmerizing
creations and unpredictable beauty.

Gardiner Museum. Afterward, there will be a reception toasting the

speak about his work.

“We are extremely excited to present Jun
Kaneko’s art to the City of Toronto, as it is his first major

No stranger to the Gardiner, making his final and only Canadian stop of his Travelling Exhibition
at Toronto’s Gardiner Museum back in 2011. The exhibit featured
larger-than-life ceramic sculptures, some of which were over seven feet
high.

About Jun Kaneko

Jun
Kaneko (American, born Japan 1942) studied painting in his native Japan
as a young man. In 1963, he moved to the United States where he studied
ceramics with a number of influential artists from the California
School, including Peter Voulkos and Paul Soldner. Although Kaneko is
best known for creating large-scale ceramic sculptures and
installations, painting has remained an important part of his artistic
practice throughout his career. In recent years Kaneko has also branched
out to design opera sets and costumes for several productions in Omaha,
Atlanta, Philadelphia and Vancouver.
