AMERICAN UNIVERSITY GALLERY TALK

MORE CLAY: THE POWER OF REPETITION
November 5 | 4:30-6:00PM
IN-PERSON + ZOOM EVENT
AMERICAN UNIVERSITY MUSEUM AT THE KATZEN ART CENTER
4400 MASSACHUSETTS AVE NW, WASHINGTON, DC

Join JRACraft for a gallery talk featuring the exhibition More Clay: The Power of Repetition with curator Rebecca Cross. Attend in person at 4:30pm to see the exhibition before the hybrid panel discussion and meet artist Connor Czora, curator Rebecca Cross and museum director Jack Rasmussen. Join online at 5pm to see the panel along with the other artists joining by zoom.

Transcending the structural limitations of clay and abandoning the material’s traditional association with function, eight artists build powerful ceramic sculptures through accumulation, repetition, and innovative feats of construction. This exhibition demonstrates the power of assembling multiples as a compelling vehicle for the artists to express their chosen subject-matter as they transform this humble, sustainable material…dirt! into something monumental in form and content. More Clay aims to physically demonstrate the unifying principle of “out of many, one” a concept absent in today’s fractured society.

Featured artists include JRACraft 2020 Chrysalis Awardee Kate Roberts, Walter McConnell, J.J. McCracken, Zimra Beiner, Bean Finneran, Vanessa Ryerse, Kahlil Irving, David Hicks, and Connor Czora.
