River Gallery’s Ceramics Invitational

Monday, April 23, 2012

Call it vessel lust; some of us simply cannot walk away from a teapot, a mug or a lidded box. It’s a primal instinct, no doubt – a deep and abiding curiosity about what could be inside already or what might be PLACED inside later. Not all expressions of ceramic art are vessels, of course, but that’s a good place to start if you’re inclined to stop in at River Gallery in Rocky River, which celebrates its 6th Annual Cermamics Invitational through May 25.

Dott Schneider’s Intriguing Puzzle

Monday, April 23, 2012

So we dropped in on Legation, one of the galleries at the 78th Street Studios, during its April Third Fridays celebration. There was Dott Schneider, busy placing puzzle-piece prints on the wall. What gave? The works are part of “The Missing Piece,” an interactive exhibition that began in March 2006, when Schneider came upon a strange little particleboard puzzle piece during a walk in the woods. “I had no idea how long it had been in the desert, who had placed it there or if it had fallen from the sky,”...

Drawn And Quartered 4

Tuesday, April 17, 2012

For participants,  it’s the most fun you can have with Conte crayon and paper. For audience members, it’s a great gonzo experience that just might change your view of drawing as oh-so-serious and polite. Drawn And Quartered started four years ago when a handful of local drawing groups assembled to compete, Olympic style (well, almost) in figure drawing events.
