Modern Morphism: Contemporary Ceramic Sculpture

August 7, 2010 – October 3, 2010

Modern Morphism: Contemporary Ceramic Sculpture, part of the Museum’s Outlooks exhibition series, is a survey of contemporary ceramic sculpture that encourages viewers to explore the interconnectedness of art and nature. The exhibition is organized around several stylistic trends—anthropomorphism, bio-morphism, and rhizomorphism. The guest curator is Jacqueline Jrolf.
