EXPOSURE
11 Artist Exhibition
MARCH 2018
EXHIBITING ARTISTS
Blanca Guerra, Jennifer Arnold, Mitch Shiles, Salvador Jiménez-Flores, Alia Pialtos, Casey Whittier, Emily Manko, Jesse Ring, Kelcy Chase Folsom, Rachel Eng, and John Emerson.
Exposure is a culmination of artists who have invited someone outside of their typical associations into their studio to create a new artwork together. Through the process of collaborating with one another, each of the 11 artists have shared their own thoughts and knowledge on the medium of clay with their invited participant, thus gaining new insight about the medium while simultaneously creating a new work.
It is easy and comfortable to surround ourselves with similarly minded people. From the music we listen to, the news sites we read, the religion or lack of which we follow, to our social circles both in person and online, our exposure to ideas different than our own has become less common. Although we may not agree with others opinions and beliefs, there is significance in recognizing that we have differences, rather than acting in ignorance of one another.
Despite feeling open-minded, our perspectives may become narrower as we lose awareness to those outside our prototypical network. By broadening their views, the artists in Exposure and in turn the viewers themselves, have and will expand their understanding of our changing culture and world through the channel of the clay medium.
