SHINO REDUX 2010
Clay Art Center is pleased to present SHINO REDUX 2010, a national invitational exhibition curated by Malcolm Davis featuring a magnificent spread of shinos and carbontraps by 74 clay artists. Shino, a generic term for a family of pottery glazes that originated in Japan in the 16th century, is a glaze that has captivated the imagines of hundreds of potters for hundreds of years. This particular exhibition is redux or “restored” - a sequel to a similar invitational exhibition that Malcolm Davis curated in 2005 in Baltimore. Shino Redux 2010 is an updated version of that exhibition, featuring new artists on the shino “scene” along with those who are recognized for their accomplishments with this persnickety and challenging glaze medium.
The exhibit, which will be displayed in both the Choy Gallery and the Henry’s Project gallery,will run from February 6 – March 6, 2010 with an opening reception on Saturday, February 6, from 6-8pm. Admission is free. Additionally, Malcolm Davis, who is internationally recognized for his work with carbon trap shino-type glazes, will be coming to Clay Art Center to present a sold out three-day firing and demonstration workshop entitled “Shino Sharing” Friday - Sunday, February 5th - 7th.
Curator Malcolm Davis states, “In this exhibition, there will be all manner of pots and non-pots, white and gray, peach and salmon, fat and thick, quiet and dramatic, big and small, crazed and crackled, crawled and pitted. There will even be some yellows and some blues, and some work that challenges the meaning of what makes shino shino. Redux is a Latin word meaning “brought back” or “restored” and we are bringing back even more variations of shino-type glazes with this sequel shino exhibition. I’ve invited both masters and students to participate in this national exhibition, and the results will be a magnificent spread of shinos and carbontraps.”
