CONTAINMENT October 3 - November 7, 2012 Lee Gallery, Clemson University:
The CU Center for Visual Arts is pleased to present the first Clemson Ceramics National. Our inaugural exhibition asks artists to explore “containment” through the lens of functional ceramics.
“Containment” may be used literally or conceptually in the works, according to the artist’s individual interpretation. The goal of this year’s Clemson Ceramics National is to showcase a diverse collection of ceramic tableware and functional objects and bring a broad range of contemporary voices from across the country to the Upstate.

While she has shown 701 Center for Contemporary Art in Columbia, SC, Offers Exhibition on the Art of Bending Wood The 701 Center for Contemporary Art in Columbia, SC, is presenting the exhibit, Torqued & Twisted: Bentwood Today, on view through Oct. 7, 2012. This exhibition explores the work of nine furniture makers and sculptors who use the technique of bending wood in innovative, unusual and eloquent ways.
Work by Matthias Pleissnig Wood bending is typically accomplished through one of two main approaches, steaming or laminating. Steaming requires the application of heat and moisture to allow the wood fibers to bend and slide against each other. The bent part is clamped to a form and allowed to cool and dry into a new configuration. Laminating involves using layers of wood cut thin enough to become flexible. The flexible strips are clamped against a form with adhesive between each layer until the adhesive cures, locking the laminations into the new configuration. Bentwood came to symbolize the mod- ern movement in furniture design and it still offers a tempting territory for a range of aes- thetic and formal explorations. The artists/ designers in this exhibition push the limits of wood bending to create extraordinary functional and sculptural works of art that are conceptually challenging and expand our understanding and expectations of wood as a material. The techniques used by these artists both borrow from and build upon various historical traditions. The work of Matthias Pliessnig draws from the rib and plank boat- building approach.

With the visible energy of Patterson’s gestural brush strokes he captures a moment in time, a response in paint to nature’s sub- lime and relentless action. He says freeform abstraction appeals to him but triggering his expressionistic method there is always an idea or image originating in nature. Patterson writes, “Michelangelo once said that there was a sculpture waiting inside each piece of marble, and it was up to him to bring it out.
