“Life’s full of tough choices, isn’t it?”
-Ursula, the Sea Witch from
Disney’s The Little Mermaid
Ursula was so right on with
that line.
Especially when it comes to tonight, when there are two art lectures
happening at ASU, at the same time.
First, we’ve got guest
curator Bobby Silverman at the Ceramics Research Center to discuss the
current exhibition “Ceramic Design: Manufactured Brilliance and Beauty
in Daily Life” during the show’s opening reception which runs from 6 to 8
p.m. His lecture about the functional and beautiful aspects of ceramic
design begins at 7 p.m.
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Meanwhile, across the street at the ASU Art Museum, artist William
Wylie will discuss his role in the “Forged Power: Ferran Mendoza, Alvaro
Sau & William Wylie” exhibition.
Wylie traveled to Carrara,
Italy to observe the everyday working practices of the cavatori
(stonecutters) who have worked the quarry for centuries. Heavy machinery
blends with human gestures, coordinated movement, precise measurements,
and communication to accomplish the task at hand. Wylie presents the
action with a series of video installations and will discuss the
experience.
At 7 p.m., of course.
Decisions, decisions…
