Martin Kersels, Headache, 2008 & Charm (Vulture), 2011
“About a couple of years ago I go, oh my gosh, I certainly hang a lot of my work, or things hang from my work, or some aspect is held back, like wood bent ‘til breaking, and I go, what’s that about? Why am I so fascinated by hanging work? It goes back to even when I was in undergrad; like in painting class I would hang a painting like a tabletop from the ceiling…” Full interview at the Curve.

thru Mar 2:
“Body & Soul: New International Ceramics”
curated by Wendy Tarlow Kaplan
The Museum of Arts and Design, 2 Columbus Circle, NYC
the exhibition underscores the power of the figure to convey strong emotions, and also to the accessibility of the ceramic medium. Through clay the figure becomes the catalyst for addressing the emotional impact of contemporary pressures that confront our society today. Each work, inspired by a personal incident or symbolic tale, expresses a deep emotional identity, contrasting societal, political, and personal views on themes such as anxiety, bias, mortality and memory. The exhibition highlights approximately 25 international artists who came to clay as painters, draughtsmen, or sculptors. Many are being shown for the first time in the United States
Sneaky. Sneaky.

from a poem by Christopher DeWeese, which you can find among the other beauties in the new issue of Sixth Finch.
This is a poem worth having fun over and using for your mind while you were planting seeds so that the seeds would grow up to be tall eagles. That would like listening!
