Animalia opening Thursday, April 25 at The Schein-Joseph Museum of Ceramic Art

Animalia

The Schein-Joseph International Museum of Ceramic Art
Binns-Merrill Hall
NYSCC at Alfred University
2 Pine Street, Alfred, NY 14802  

April 25 - August 2, 2013
Museum Reception: Thursday, April 25 4:30 – 6:00 p.m.

This exhibition highlights some of the animal representations in the Museum’s permanent collection. These owls, snakes, various birds, elephant, dogs and tapir, to name a few, are each made of ceramics by various artists.

The artists include Alanna DeRocchi, Bruce Gholson, David Weinrib, Linda Cordell, Matthew Metz, Akio Takamori, Peter Morgan, Beth Low, Shoko Teruyama, Kurt Weiser, and Jenny Lind. Some of the animals are freestanding on all fours while others are on just two. Others are in low relief, cleverly growing from a vessel and another’s head becomes the finial of a lid. There are examples of animal images utilizing the sgraffito technique on the sides of vessels from the fourteenth and the twenty-first centuries and others with two-dimensional rendering in slip or glaze. A Peruvian zoomorphic pot made more than one thousand years ago will share the gallery with an object representing the same animal, but produced last year - reminding us again of the long history of clay’s interaction with the life forms sharing our earth.
