Warren MacKenzie:
Legacy of an American Potter
June 11—September 13, 2009
Recognized as a true master of 20th century ceramic art, this comprehensive retrospective presents seminal works produced by Warren MacKenzie over a fifty-year period (1948-2006). Representing various styles, forms, and approaches to the art of clay, this exhibition will undoubtedly shed new light on the life and work of one of America’s foremost studio potters. Warren MacKenzie’s life and work reflects the changing role of the ceramic artist in society, from the early modern philosophy of producing works for industry to the emergence of the individual studio potter in the 1950s.
Open Source Embroidery
October 1, 2009—January 24, 2010
The Open Source Embroidery exhibition presents socially-engaged new-media art (computer-based art) which uses the tools of craft and software to create hybrid experiments mapping the relationships between the age-old traditions of collective craft, and the more recent culture of open source software.
