The Group Show mixes a curation of sculptural pieces, paintings, mixed-media creations, clay, ceramic, plastic and audio pieces to present the uncertain future of our culture.

Dynamic Narratives was a group show of 12 women sculptors that went very well. It was super exciting to go to NCECA (national council on education for the ceramic arts) with more then 5 thousand mud people, but it was even more exciting to be a part of it!]]> General http://news.dikarevart.com/index.php?itemid=72 Thu, 2 May 2013 16:47:08 -0400 http://news.dikarevart.com/index.php?itemid=71 Click to enlargePeaceable Kingdom explores the role animals have played in our shared cultural and artistic imagination. The history of human and animal interaction is filled with tales of failed domestication, unusual friendships, and fearsome predators. From Kipling’s ferocious Shere Khan to early imperial menageries, human fascination with the animal kingdom has run the gamut from emotional connection, to economic exploitation, and even scientific curiosity. Throughout all of these interactions, however, the sense of wonder we feel when we encounter animal life has been an enduring theme that has informed their continued and abiding presence in the visual arts.

The Bedford Gallery received over 400 artist submissions for this juried show. After much deliberation, our jurors have selected 58 artists from around the U.S. to participate. The artworks chosen by our jurors represent a range of media, from traditional sculptural and painting practices to conceptually oriented mixed media installations. Two of my sculptures are there!

The Third Annual Ceramics of America 2012: Exhibition and Art Fair at Fort Mason, Festival Hall San Francisco, California

Exhibition Dates: September 14-16 2012

Friday: 10am-8pm

Saturday: 10am-8pm

Sunday: 10am-6pm

Opening Reception and Preview Party : September 13, 2012, 5:30 – 9 pm

Witness A Unique Experience: Ceramic Sculpture from Around the World

The Ceramics Annual of America (CAA) is an ambitious exhibition and art fair spotlighting the quality and diversity of contemporary ceramics from around the world including works from China, Korea, Mexico, Australia and Italy. It is the only event of its kind in the United States and the goal is to encourage the education and enrichment of the public, cultivate a fertile art market, and foster dialog between collectors and makers of ceramic sculpture.

Part of California’s continuing legacy of excellence and innovation in ceramics, the CAA is the largest exhibition and art fair that is entirely focused on ceramic art in America and is modeled after the Ceramic Biennials held in Europe, Korea, Japan and China. It provides a venue for the top regional and international artists from working in the clay medium to show their work to a broader audience of collectors.

The CAA is organized by the California Ceramics Cooperative, a group of invested regional ceramic artists, and will feature panel discussions, lectures, tours as well as daily interactive art demonstrations from 4-5 that will provide a greater understanding of the artistic process for students and educators alike. Schools located in the Bay Area will have free admission all day Friday and should contact the Ceramics Annual for Reservations. Featured artist and instructor Kevin Nierman, author of “The Kids ‘N’ Clay Ceramics Book,” will provide “Artistic childcare” on Saturday and Sunday from 11-3.

The exhibition will be held in the 50,000 square ft. Festival Hall at Ft. Mason, capable of accommodating as many as 10,000 people. A popular attraction for countless national and international visitors to the city, Ft. Mason still resonates with the presence of the California Funk movement of the sixties and seventies that inspired ceramic greats living in San Francisco today. Its close proximity to nature, unique architecture and nostalgic atmosphere contribute a breathtaking backdrop for an impressive array of Ceramic Sculptures.

Last years event was a huge success with over 7,000 people in attendance. The museum quality exhibition included educational lectures by curators such as Peter Selz and Phil Linhares and renowned artists such as Jim Melchert. “The size and scale of such an exhibition and the education opportunities, all under one roof, were extraordinary.”—Art Historian, Peter Selz.
