The Clay Studio National
May 6 through June 24, 2016
www.theclaystudio.org
2016 marks the second iteration of The Clay Studio National, a biannual exhibition showcasing the best contemporary ceramic art being made in the United States now. Through this juried exhibition we highlight a diverse range of work, from functional to sculptural, and from traditional production techniques to cutting edge manufacturing technology.
The 2016 Clay Studio National was juried by Elisabeth R. Agro, Nancy M. McNeil Associate Curator of Contemporary Craft and Decorative Arts, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and Jennifer Zwilling, The Clay Studio Curator of Artistic Programs.
Our goal was to choose work that represents the wide range of work being made today in the field of ceramic arts. The works chosen for the exhibition reflect our shared respect for rigorous critical discourse, the history of the field, and skillful execution. As a whole, the exhibition celebrates the many ways these artists express their personal artistic vision through nuanced and thoughtful combinations of concept and skill.
Dysfunction
January 22, 2016 - April 9, 2016
Burlington City Arts, Burlington VTThe long lasting association between ceramics and function is so engrained in our society we often instinctively connect the medium with particular utilitarian and domestic purposes, creating tension between fine art and craft. Dysfunction challenges this tension by asserting that functionality may depend upon context rather than an absolute and fixed purpose. This exhibition features work by ten contemporary artists who question the social, political, and economic forces that determine ‘proper’ function. Beginning with a playful pun as the exhibition’s title, Dysfunction initiates a dialogue about how our own assumptions concerning ceramics can be confronted through observing artwork that varies from beautiful and precious to surreal and grotesque.
Artists: Shae Bishop, Charlie Cunningham, Bech Evans, Leslie Fry, Margaret Kinkeade, Julia Kunin, Roberto Lugo, Brooks Oliver, Jessica Putnam-Phillips, and Christopher Vaughn.

Service Records: Documenting the Veteran Experience Through Art
November 13 – December 11, 2016
University of Wisconson- Milwaukee
Military service has a profound effect on the men and women who have spent time in the military. Their experience gives them a unique perspective, and for many this point of view is communicated through creative expression. For some it is a way to outwardly express themselves, and for others it is an inward form of therapy. Service Records: Documenting the Veteran Experience through Art provides a platform for this range of artistic expression. This exhibition features the work of locally and nationally recognized artists whose work is informed by their experiences and identity as veterans through a wide range of mediums from ceramics to performance. Join us in sharing their stories and honoring their service.

The Clay Studio, Philadelphia PA, ReedSmith Gallery & Online
February 6- March 7, 2015
Opening reception February 6th 5-8pm
The Clay Studio continues our conversation about military service with an exhibition by Jesse Albrecht and Jesica Putnam-Phillips, who are both veterans of war. Each artist uses the ceramic vessel as both source material and canvas.
Politics, material culture, gender and the realities of war infuse all of the work in this exhibition in different ways. Putnam-Phillips’ work is much more positive on the surface—her platters show images of powerful-looking female soldiers in combat gear. The layers of commentary in her work involving “service” ware and its attendant cultural meanings are thorny and personal. - See more at: http://www.theclaystudio.org/exhibition/jesse-albrecht-and-jessica-putnam-phillips#sthash.OzrdMolU.dpuf
