Show from
August 6th-24th
Just
as the Chrysler and Empire State buildings distinguish NYC's skyline, the
Liberty Bridge in Greenville defines our beautiful little city of
opportunity. To Bruce and Shannon Plourd, the Liberty Bridge represents
opportunity. As the bridge helped to transform a blighted section of the
city into one of life and potential, the imagineers behind this week's
"Liberty and Linearity" exhibit are working together to bring the
same transition to the "west-most" side of the city.

Whale Studios & Gallery
401 Smythe St.
Greenville, SC 29611
Unbeknownst to most of Greenville, a greatly neglected piece of the Historical
Monaghan Mill Village has been undergoing an amazing transformation. A
beautiful old home built circa 1890 has been restored and repurposed as the
White Whale Studios & Gallery.
The Studio's name hearkens back to Melville's infamous tale of a determined
white whale outwitting the relentless Captain Ahab, just as the artists, within
the walls of this old white house, battle the odds to pursue their work and life's
calling.
The two-story house features a large welcoming front porch, a main gallery
downstairs and seven individual working studios upstairs and down. Located
three miles from downtown Greenville off 183, it is only one mile from the
flourishing Pendleton Arts District.

Kent Ambler
About his work,
Kent says, “My work is autobiographical. It is derived from my life and
surroundings, my observations. Subjects, themes, and even concepts do
materialize in my work through the passage of time. I generally can’t tell you
what it is that I am working on until viewing a series of work in retrospect.
With the help of hindsight it becomes very obvious what was going on in my life
at that given time.”

Layers
in Time
Carole Knudson Tinsley
When asked
about her recent paintings Carole replied, “I have been working in a series
that relates to ancient cultures as well as earth forms. While I do paint in an
impressionistic and abstract manner, I strive to be a good shape maker of
whatever subject I am interpreting.”

Prologue
Cicile L. K. Martin
When
asked about her art, Cecile said, “I work in series, often using the human
condition as a source of imagery. I like to make use of a wide range of media,
both 2D and 3D, and I’m especially fond of the interaction of graphic media and
paper. My newest series uses mono-prints as the basis for developing abstract
images, which may suggest mythological subjects, still life, or landscape.”

Imperial
Splendor: Renaissance Tapestries from Vienna
May 21 - September 19, 2010
Royal Renaissance tapestries from one of the premier museums of fine arts and
decorative arts in the world, the Kunsthistorisches of Vienna, will be on view
in the Dawn Helfont Christopher Galleries. The richness and artistic quality of
the tapestries make the collection one of the most important tapestry
collections in the world and one of the most magnificent of its kind. Each of
these eight exquisite tapestries, intricately crafted, measures from 11- to
12-feet high and from 12- to 18-feet long. The tapestries came to the
Kunsthistorisches Museum from the collections of King Matthias (Holy Roman
Emperor 1612-1619) and King Francis I (1708-1765). A Tapestry Symposium will be
held of Friday, June 11 in conjunction with the exhibition. The exhibition
marks the first time these centuries-old tapestries have traveled to the United
States. This exhibition is developed by the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna,
and tour organized by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC.
Innovation
and Change: Great Ceramics from the Ceramics Research Center
May 28 - September 5, 2010
This exhibition, on view in the Lipscomb Family Galleries, highlights 75
masterworks by many of the leading international ceramic artists, offering a
panoramic survey of the potential of clay as an expressive art form. The art
objects on view range from functional ware for everyday use to more expressive
sculptural forms. The exhibition includes featured works by 70 prominent
artists including: Rudy Autio (American, 1926-2007), Peter Voulkos (American,
1924-2002), Robert Arneson (American, 1930-1992) and Betty Woodman (American,
born 1930). The showing in Columbia, South Carolina is part of a 10-city
national tour over a three-year period containing approximately 79 vessels and
sculptures of ceramics from the collection of the Ceramics Research Center,
Arizona State University Art Museum. The exhibition is curated by Peter Held,
curator of ceramics and was developed and managed by Smith Kramer Fine Art
Services.
SC6: Six South Carolina Innovators in Clay
On view in the Mamie and Andrew
Treadway, Jr. Gallery 15
June 16 - September 19, 2010
Drawn from public and private collections, six innovative ceramic artists who
are, or have been active in South Carolina, are featured in this Gallery 15
installation. The works illustrate a diverse range of technique, glazes and
forms for which the artists are best known. Featured artists include: Russell
Biles, from Greenville, whose figural sculptures are deeply laden with social
and political commentary; Jim Connell, whose sinuous vessels are decorated with
elaborate glazes, many of which are inspired by ancient Chinese ceramics;
Georgia Henrietta Harris, a member of the Catawba Nation, who is largely
credited with reviving the Catawba pottery tradition; Peter Lenzo, whose
technically complex sculptures recall the 19th-century Southern "face
jug" tradition yet remain completely unique; Ron Meyers, whose functional
ceramics are brightly slip-painted in a gestural, expressionistic style that
can be both provocative and confrontational; and Virginia Scotchie, current
chair of the ceramics department at USC, who incorporates familiar shapes when
creating her vessels that possess complex and luminous glazes.
