For those of you who didn't get a chance to make it to Dallas for this show, here's an interview with the Curator, Jed Morse, on "Art this Week." The show came down about two weeks ago.
Ron Nagle... 'nuff said.

2/19 - UPDATE... The Kickstarter was successful!!!
Some of you may have heard Obama's recent swipe at art history majors. There's been a bit of a backlash, as you would imagine, that has been playing out in popular media in the days since. In the wake of that conversation, this is the most thoughtful piece of writing that I came across (it was written long before Obama's comments). Even if you have no stake in the controversy, if you're interested in the humanities, it is well worth your time to read.
I have several friends that have been lucky enough to have had this residency. It's amazing! Cambry, get it!
The oldest man-made artifact always tells a good story. If you would like a ceramics history lesson in the visual sense, be sure to check out this exhibition at Crystal Bridges.
Born of Fire is a year-long exhibition that explores some of the many incarnations of ceramic fabrication: from traditional Native American vessels to highly decorated 17th-century Japanese porcelain meant for European trade, to delicate, stylized contemporary works that explore the limits of the medium.
Open Feb. 1st, 2014 - March 2nd, 2015
Via Glenn Adamson: To quote my colleague Lowery Sims, "most artists using clay end up with what looks like botched summer school projects, but not Benglis."

Wow. Nice addition to Crystal Bridges!
It's not news to us that clay has caught on in the art world—It's been fantastic the past few years to see witness of the resurgent interest in clay. In this article from ArtNews, Lilly Wei provides a survey of some of the big names, and gets their take on the trend. Wei quotes Nichole Cherubini as saying, “As far as clay being a craft material...it blows me away that it is even part of the conversation anymore.”
I couldn't agree more.
The esteemed Victoria Christen will be giving a demonstration of her working methods this coming Thursday, January 23rd, at College of The Ozarks. Victoria has been a staple of the functional ceramics scene for quite a while. I'm certain she'll have an abundance of useful advice. This would be a great demo for any of you wheel throwing newbies!
The demo will last from 9-4, and there will be a lecture about her work at 7PM. I hope to see you there.
