MATERIAL MATRIX: 30 NORTH BY 84 WEST :: Group Exhibition

3.30.11

Curated by Holly Hanessian

30 NORTH BY 84 WEST is the longitudinal and latitudinal points intersecting in Tallahassee, FL, where many artists in ceramic have worked in the studio art program at Florida State University. The studio art program at FSU is "intermedia," meaning students use specific materials based on the idea, not the media area. The artists selected have all chosen to maintain their connection to ceramics as using clay as their dominant material, thus further signifying the use of "material matrix" in the title.

Curated by Holly Hanessian, participating artists include Emil Alzamora, David Packer, Lyman Edwards, Julie Guyot, Jim Lawton, Ovi Gilberga, Brittni Wegmann, and Karen Tharp. Material Matrix: 30 North by 84 West is presented in conjunction with the 2011 National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) conference in Tampa, FL.
