The Umass Dartmouth graduate ceramic department just had a show at hunter college in mid town Manhattan. The show was up for two weeks in Hunter's project space. The closing reception was well attended, no critics though. Had some good feedback on my work from some of the visitors. Karrie and I spent the weekend with Erik and Sarah at the Crown Plaza on Time Square. The Museum of Art and Design, (MAD), is a must see. "Swept away", one of their current exhibitions, features artists woking with dust and dirt as a main medium. The projects ranged from soil samples taken around the city and presented in plexiglass boxes corresponding with their relative locations to paintings in smog. The best restaurant we went to was Meskerem. I've never tried Etheopian food before. As a bit of a foodie it's nice to think there are still new things out there to try. Our visit to the Manhattan Anthropology store sparked a great debate as to the authenticity of objects in relation to their cultural roots and modern reproduction of faux historical object. All in all a great trip.
Here are some shots from the Umass Dartmouth show On the Wall:
