Focused on the collection of Diane and Marc Grainer, this installation is a survey of contemporary British studio ceramics. Comprised of functional and sculptural objects made between the 1980s and today, the show features work by artists either born or residing in Great Britian, including established "contemporary classics" like Gordon Baldwin and Rupert Spira, and cutting-edge ceramicists such as Julian Stair and Kate Malone. Several recently-gifted works from the Grainers will be included. Rooted in the materiality of clay, a hallmark of studio pottery, the ceramic art featured in the installation chronicles the history of Contemporary British Studio Ceramics. Whether a pot or sculpture, the properties of the raw material, from its soft malleable texture to the alchemy of slips and glazes, and its propensity to melt and harden, are at the core of the artist's passion. This exhibition is an extension of the October 2010 - March 2011 exhibition, "Contemporary British Studio Ceramics: The Grainer Collection" held at the Mint Museum Uptown.
