“Cho is deep into an artist residency at the Harbourfront Centre
where his work is currently on display until April 6. The inspiration
for the series came from a two-month residency program he recently
completed in Jingdezhen, China, a city of 1.5 million people located
north east of Hong Kong. The trip was made possible through an Ontario
Arts Council grant.”

In the mid-12th century, Korean artists introduced the technique of
using black and white inlays beneath green glaze to depict floating
clouds, cranes, and flowers on ceramics. A later, quite different
version of this practice, known as sanggam, produced lively, abstract
patterns with white pigment alone. In this talk, Dr. Pamela Vandiver,
professor of materials science and engineering at the University of
Arizona, investigates this amazing technology and its evolution at a
microscopic level. This lecture is made possible by the generous support
of the National Museum of Korea.

“Neverwhere
and Nowhere” is an assemblage of collected objects; the primary
interest is transforming the familiar, disposable, and trivial into the
mythic and fantastical. Rubin explores the wonderment of magical
thinking and the charm of constructed forms and ornate contraptions. The
conical shapes of her ceramics allude to a function of channeling,
transmitting, or filtering, and reference conical forms that imply
communication: voice pipes, megaphones, dunce caps, gramophones,
steeples, and satellite dishes. Through process, she tries to satisfy
her curiosity for sumptuous fluid surfaces, and ideas of accumulation
and myth. Utilizing the amorphous properties of clay and exploring its
inherent materiality, she creates fanciful objects that feel both
familiar and alien.
Tammie Rubin was born in Chicago, Illinois. She
completed her MFA in Ceramics at the University of Washington, and
received a BFA in Ceramics and Art History from the University of
Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where she is now an Assistant Professor of
Ceramics & Foundations. Her work has appeared in Ceramics: Art &
Perception and Ceramics Monthly.
