SUMMARY:WICHITA NATIONAL CERAMICS INVITATIONAL
DESCRIPTION:Since the inception of the Craft National in 1946 to the Wichita National\, ceramics have played an important role in establishing clay as art. From early visits by iconic clay artist Shoji Hamada\, Betty Woodman\, and Bernard Leach to later modern master like Peter Voulkos and Jun Kaneko\, Wichita has been a central hub in the national clay picture. Reuben Saunders Gallery has been in the heart of the Wichita Art Community since 1978. With the reestablishment of the new Wichita Ceramics National\, the tradition will be reborn and clay artists young and old will lift the show to new heights. A portion of all sales will be donated to Empty Bowls Wichita to help fight food insecurity! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmpty Bowls Project\, an international\, artist-driven\, grassroots movement helps combat hunger. Ceramic artists from around the globe enlist communities to make bowls to raise food insecurity awareness and provide funding for food pantries.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nJUDGE: Chris Staley \nWell respected in his field\, Chris Staley taught at WSU from 1985-1989. He then joined Penn State in 1990\, earning Penn State’s Distinguished Professor award in 2008 and honored as the 2012-2013 Penn State laureate. He has participated on the school boards of the Archie Bray Foundation\, Haystack Mountain School of Crafts\, and as a past president of NCECA. He is currently working on a book on life and art. \nVISTING ARTIST: Lisa Orr \nLisa Orr is a professional potter and has been a student of ceramics for more than 40 years. After completing her MFA in 1993 at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University\, she received a Fulbright and an MAAA/NEA grant to continue her studies. Her work is shown in numerous public and private collections including the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco\, and the permanent collection of WOCEF in Korea. \n  \nFEATURED CERAMIC ARTISTS: \n\nBen Ahlvers\nMeg Beaudoin\nNolan Baumgartner\nSam Chung\nBede Clarke\nCary Esser\nJulia Galloway\nChris Gustin\nKenyon Hansen\nDoug Herren\nTrey Hill\nRandy Johnston\nEva Kwong\nJustin Lambert\nEiko Maeda\nKirk Mangus\nJanina Myronowa\nSam Scott\nMatt Towers\n\n  \nSHOW DATES: \nOctober 3rd\, 2024 – VIP Opening/Patron Preview \nOctober 4th\, 2024 – Public Opening at RSG \nOctober 26th\, 2024 – Last day of Exhibition

SUMMARY:"MATERIALIST"
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition will feature artworks by regional artist group called “MATERIALIST”!  \nFeatured Artists:\n-Jessie Fisher\n-Melanie Johnson\n-Christopher Lowrance\n-Michael McCaffrey\n-Scott Seebart  \nWe hope you will join us for our opening reception on First Friday\, June 2nd from 5:30pm – 9:00pm! \n—-\nMATERIALIST is a group of painters dedicated to representation\, observation and the expressive material subject. Meaning is embodied in each artist’s vigorous processes and narratives that are at once deeply personal and openly poetic. The revelation of everyday life is drawn\, painted\, collaged and sculpted with an intensity that stems from each member’s direct connection to personal and familial subjects. Close inspection of their work reveals individual methodologies which create captivating haptic and intimate visual experiences.  \nWhile our work is not interchangeable\, each artist shares a love of the material and the gestural and the responsive.  Each of us possesses a strong foundation in the tradition of perceptual painting and drawing\, and approaches the medium as a a meditation on constructing meaning. Working as a collective has augmented our individual practices by highlighting very distinct approaches\, while at the same time revealing striking rhymes in process\, materiality\, and meaning\, often creating new narrative threads when the work is in dialogue. \n—-\nARTIST STATEMENTS/BIOS: \nJessie Fisher’s compositionally dense paintings blur distinctions between empirical fact and perceptual fiction through intimate portraits and surrogate objects. She has been an artist-in-residence at the Visual Arts and Design Academy\, Santa Barbara\, the Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts and Studio Art College International\, Florence\, Italy and has lectured on her work at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, the International Center for the Arts\, Montecastello di Vibio\, Italy and at the GuangXi Arts Institute\, Nanning\, China among others. She is a recipient of the Ohio Young Painters Prize and a founding member of Studio Nong\, an international sculpture collective and residency program based in southern China. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in Minneapolis\, Saint Paul\, Iowa\, Ohio\, New York\, Philadelphia\, Los Angeles\, Kansas City\, Italy\, and China. Fisher was a Professor in Painting at the Kansas City Art Institute from 2005-2022 and is currently a co-director of Case | Edgerton Studios in St Paul\, MN and a member of the Prince Street Gallery in New York City.  \n—-\n Melanie Johnson’s immersive large-scale drawings and paintings engage the viewer through carefully observed depictions of the natural environment\, inviting the viewer to linger over a history and meaning that unfolds slowly. Johnson is a recipient of the Tallgrass Artist Residency\, where she worked on the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve\, and the Charlotte Street Residency in Kansas City\, Missouri. Her work has been exhibited in gallery venues in New York\, London\, Philadelphia\, Chicago\, Minneapolis\, Cincinnati\, and Kansas City\, as well as in many academic institutions. In 2022\, her work was featured in “A Changing World: Women to Watch”\, at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.  Johnson is Professor of Painting and Drawing at the University of Central Missouri. \n—-\nChristopher Lowrance studied at Indiana University\, Missouri State University\, and the University of Massachusetts and currently lives in Kansas City. Teaching\, writing about art and occasional curatorial ventures complement his studio art practice–making mostly large scale\, invented figure paintings and drawings plus smaller works from direct observation.  \n—-\nMichael McCaffrey’s current paintings\, drawings\, and collages focus on his family history and home; and the interconnection between a father and son. In the winter of 2016\, Michael was awarded a two-week residency at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts. Michael exhibits both regionally and nationally. Recently\, at Prince Street Gallery and First Street Gallery in New York\, NY\, Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati\, OH\, The Leedy-Voulkos Arts Center in Kansas City\, MO and the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg\, MS. Michael’s work was published in Manifest Gallery’s International Painting Annual 5 and 9\, and in 2015 he received an international grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields foundation.  Currently\, he is an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Visual Art at the University of Kansas where he teaches Painting and Life Drawing.  \n—–\nScott Seebart  merges the tabletop with the allegorical\, painting an arcadian re-enactment of the everyday object set within an extraordinary scene. Seebart has shown in group and solo exhibitions at the Susquehanna Art Museum\, The American Museum of Art in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, Lo River Arts in Beacon\, New York and the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City\, Missouri. He has been a visiting artist at the Mount Gretna School of Art\, The International Center for the Arts in Montecastello di Vibio\, Italy and Studio Nong in Nanning\, China. Seebart is a co-director of Case | Edgerton Studios in St. Paul\, MN and a member of the Prince Street Gallery in New York City.

SUMMARY:"RETRIEVING THE MOON" - Curt Clonts & Emily Brookover
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition will feature artworks by local artists\, Curt Clonts & Emily Brookover! \nWe hope you will join us for our opening reception on First Friday\, May 5th from 5:30pm – 9:00pm! \n——–\nARTIST STATEMENTS: \nCURT CLONTS: “I have thought a lot lately about what it was like when I was a kid. I grew up right here in College Hill. These neighborhoods\, trees\, park\, and people are in my blood—they are my blood. Life was magical growing up here in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Aside from the fact that the oldest brothers of some friends were going off to Vietnam\, it was magical. We played hard and we did our chores. We noticed everything. The smell of rain on mowed grass or burning leaves in the fall. Identifying the bird calls we heard from 100 year old elms. The taste of purple mulberries and pears that grow throughout the area. Barefoot\, at all times\, throughout spring and summer. Chlorine stinging the eyes at the swimming pool. The purple of irises and the pink of heavy peonies as they droop towards the ground in countless gardens. The scent of honeysuckle and trumpet vine. \nThese were the things that came to mind as I created much of the work in this show.\nI’d turn on the lights in my studio and then flip on the music to prime my senses. Thelonious Monk\, Cannonball Adderley\, or early Miles Davis. Jazz. Seemingly improvised and always spontaneous. Never knowing what would turn up on the canvas\, I just painted—driven by the music. \nI drank amazing amounts of coffee—black\,  because it allowed me to work into the early morning hours\, and because it reminded me that it was the smell of my grandmother’s kitchen.\nI live in College Hill today\, after having gone away for some 21 years. I ALWAYS knew I would come back.  I lived in other larger cities and on the other side of the world\, in Okinawa\, Japan (for 3 years). I married a young woman from Okinawa (she was 18/I was 19). I fell in love with her and the island life. We are still together after 43 years. This happiness is also in this body of work. And so are our children and grandchildren. \nOur friends who come over and hang out with us on the front porch—they are in this work as well.\nMy show is about happiness. And it springs from memories made yesterday and today. \nI don’t want to create work about war and politics like I did in my younger years. I want to paint about the world I’ve created for myself. I like it this way. It’s what I cling to and cherish. It’s what I know. \nIt’s home.” – Curt Clonts \n——– \nEMILY BROOKOVER: “My work explores the various relationships between human identity and the things we choose to surround ourselves with or\, in some cases\, avoid altogether.  Those things could be objects\, textures\, scents\, sounds.   \nAs humans\, we often cling to or are completely repulsed by things that represent past moments\, people\, experiences\, and trauma.  One may feel an attachment to a jar of buttons\, a cheap wallet\, the smell of lilac\, or the sound of the ocean.  One may also entirely avoid blue bathrobes\, dark wood floors\, or the sound of fingernails clicking on a tabletop.  These things\, these objects\, these responses may seem silly or insignificant to one person\, while representing an entire lifetime to another.  Choosing provocative objects and items from my memory collection to place within my work provides me the opportunity to recontextualize my experiences and redefine my attached feelings.  The work allows me to take moments that were painful\, bitter\, or even regrettable and reconstruct them into new and positive stories.” – Emily Brookover

SUMMARY:ARTIST TALK: Mike Miller - "Be the Art"
DESCRIPTION:We will be hosting an Artist Talk with local artist and sculptor\, Mike Miller!\n—- \nJoin us on Wednesday\, March 8th from 6:00pm – 7:00pm to learn more about his solo-exhibition titled\, “Be the Art”! \n—- \nMiller will be discussing the various techniques\, materials\, concepts\, and themes represented throughout his amazing show. We hope to see you there! \nThis event is free and open to the public!\n“Be the Art” on display at RSG until March 3rd – March 31st\, 2023 \n—- \nARTIST BIO:\nMike Miller is best known for his Machine-Nature Interface series of sculptures. These machine-nature forms combine a natural object with a manmade object\, creating a machine that produces an original movement or action. Most of Mike’s works are kinetic\, whether powered by a motor and salvaged gears\, hand crank\, the wind\, or kids on a swing set.\nThe movements produced echo the machinations of nature itself- plants’ production of oxygen\, the orbit of a moon around a planet. As manmade machines and nature made machines advance the difference between the two becomes indistinguishable. Mike was born\, raised\, and educated in Kansas and finds inspiration and materials for both the machine and the nature aspects of his work around his home and studio in rural Butler County. \n—- \nARTIST STATEMENT:\n“Everything is a machine\, and there are two main types\, human-made and nature-made machines. For instance\, trees are natural machines that absorb carbon dioxide and create oxygen\, and human made machines such as the printing press\, birth control pill\, smartphones\, etc. These machines\, both natural and human-made\, have initiated nearly all changes in human culture. These machines have also driven nearly all the changes in Earth’s environment\, both good and bad.\nWith these sculptures\, I hope to illustrate that we as individuals are personally responsible for Earth’s environment. I also believe that as human technology advances the difference between natural and human-made machines will decrease until they eventually blend together\, and that the merging of the two is a good thing that can eventually fix the Earth’s environmental problems.” – Mike Miller
