2 Openings at the Last Mountain Lake Cultural Center – Sunday April 11th, 12.30 to 3.30
“As a collector of things, it is the small elements that most people overlook that inspire me most. It is by close observation of plant life that I have noticed how within each structure and environment patterns are created and respected. It is how individual elements, while independent, can also be used like building blocks to create larger units of pattern, which in turn can create even larger patterns exponentially. The repetition of the + (cross) forms a grid system is a representation of microcosm in macrocosm”.
The exhibition Motion Captured, Motion Denied presents the works of young, Saskatchewan contemporary ceramic artists Jody Greenman-Barber and Zane Wilcox. Although both artists work in very distinct and different approaches from eachother, a commonality between their works is how each artist addresses the concept of motion. Pushing the boundaries of wheel- thrown traditions and approaches, Jody’s work concentrates on the gestural qualities of clay and exaggerated wheel-thrown lines and forms and therefore embodies motion. Zane’s work also pushes boundaries of handbuilding with clay through creating solid clay forms that embody a sense of immovability and stability, and thus serve as a reference point for the motion or physical movements of the viewer within the gallery space, as he or she moves around the works to take in the different angles and perspectives that they offer.Last Mountain Lake Cultural Centre, Regina Beach

Well I’m getting pretty excited. It’s not often I have a solo show and not often that I get to travel to see it, and also not often that I get to show at such an amazing gallery as Centre Materia.
I promise I’ll blog more about it and share some pics of the show set up once I get there.
In the meantime you can check out their website here.
And if you happen to be in the area please make sure to stop by and say Hi, I’d love to see you at the opening!

Greenwich House Pottery, New York City’s only non-profit venue dedicated exclusively to the ceramic arts, has announced the lineup for its 13th annual Made in Clay benefit.
Made in Clay (MIC) is New York’s annual, hotly anticipated ceramics event: a pottery sale, an exhibition, a celebration, and a fundraiser. The 2010 program will center on the notion of community and service in Greenwich Village and beyond. Made in Clay has always been about Greenwich House Pottery and all of the community programs it coordinates. These include everything from youth-directed and senior-citizen initiatives to scholarships for students. But this year in particular, with almost all nonprofits finding their coffers strained, the time proved right to reemphasize the need for neighborhood cohesion and ‘giving back.’
“We are an organization that provides an invaluable educational service,” said Sarah Archer, Director of Greenwich House Pottery. “But the raison d’etre of GHP is buoying the greater New York community through charitable work, and bringing ceramics to people who wouldn’t otherwise get to experience it.” The program kicks off on March 25th, 2010 from 6-9pm with a Preview Evening Benefit. Tickets are $100 ($75 tax-deductible). Guests will enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres, jazz courtesy of the Ben Campbell Trio, first pick of pots on sale, a snazzy “Seize the Clay” GHP tote, and a custom-made trivet from our own kilns. RSVPs can be sent to to Yojiro Moro at [email protected], or (212) 991-0003 ext 403.
March 26 will feature the general Made in Clay opening from 6-9PM. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served; no RSVP is required But Made in Clay is also a great place to find fresh affordable art to brighten up your apartment for springtime. Accordingly, the benefit sale will be on view from March 26th-April 29th. The work of over 40 artists selected from across the country convey the wonderful variety of American studio pottery andceramic sculpture today, from Kurt Weiser and Akio Takamori to Sam Chung and Kristen Kieffer. Guest artists’ work is displayed along side Greenwich House Pottery’s own artists (including residents and students), who exhibit works ranging from vases and sake sets to nesting bowls and elegant jewelry. Made In Clay also offers an introduction to Greenwich House Pottery’s Storefront, the only venue of its kind in New York City to offer an inspiring array of contemporary studio ceramics year-round.
About Greenwich House Located at 27 Barrow Street, Greenwich House offers a wide array of programs designed to enrich the lives of New Yorkers, including a Music School (46 Barrow Street), nursery and Preschool programs, health care and services for people living with HIV/AIDS, and Senior services.
