Clay attracts\nartists who respond to its physicality—a hugely malleable\, fluid material\ntha t through fire becomes fixed. The artists in this exhibition celebrate\n this contradiction—honoring the tension between the opposing forces of\n stability and instability\, motion and stasis\, permanence and temporality .\nDrawing\, exploding\, elongating\, puncturing\, these artists extend th e\nboundaries of what clay can do and how it has traditionally been\nprese nted. They also employ other mediums and materials to exercise their\nar tistic muscles. Join us for refreshments as we celebrate the opening of\nt he exhibition Defying Gravity: Interventions in Clay. On \nview July 10-September 18\, 2015.
