Clayton Bailey's World of Wonders
Pop-Up Museum in Akron, Ohio
Robots! Horn dogs! Jaw harps! Mutant heads! Bigfoot’s skeleton!
The largest collection of Bailey’s artwork anywhere in the world finds a new home in downtown Akron's Bowery Project’s Landmark Building at 156 S. Main Street. Visitors will be able to journey into the wild, warped mind of the late, renowned ceramicist and prankster Clayton Bailey.
Curated Storefront founder and NCECA member, Rick Rogers shares, “We’re pleased to make it free to the public to help celebrate the continued revitalization of downtown Akron.” Since 2016, Curated Storefront has played a key role in the effort to transform vacant, uninteresting storefronts into vibrant art displays – creating safe, engaging, and creative spaces.
The opening event takes place from 5 to 10 p.m. EST, on Thursday, May 27, 2021. Featured will be performances by Akron's Theron Brown, who played jazz pianist Herbie Hancock in the movie "Miles Ahead" along with special guest musicians, who might even play Bailey’s own “jaw harps.” Safe gathering guidelines will be observed. Please visit this link to register in advance.

Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy
Curates 2022 NCECA Annual at Crocker Art Museum
|
Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy will be the curator for Belonging, the 2022 NCECA Annual exhibition. Produced in cooperation with the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, California, the exhibition will run from February 20-May 8, 2022. A New York and Los Angeles-based curator, writer, and arts administrator of contemporary art and craft, Vizcarrondo-Laboy's current research focuses on the subversive power of humor, cuteness, and leisure as tools of protest.
Vizcarrondo-Laboy's vision for the exhibition...
"A sense of belonging implies an affinity or connectedness with a place, social or cultural group. Belonging is survival. It is a powerful feeling that shapes our identity. While achieving a sense of belonging is fulfilling when realized, it can be a laborious and even painful endeavor otherwise. Belonging strongly signifies spatial relationships, from navigating new territories to remaining rooted in formative places long vacated.
Efforts to balance attachments to past and present spaces may evoke nostalgia and dissonance. Many also seek a connection to their ancestors and their land despite distance. Voluntary and involuntary migration has profoundly impacted millions’ sense of belonging through disrupted lineages, loss of material culture and narratives, and disconnection from land. Belonging explores the intangible and tangible approaches we engage in developing and maintaining our sense of connectedness across time and space. Belonging also relates to ownership or possession, an interpretation that has caused much harm to humans, non-human species, and natural resources. This exhibition seeks to upend normalized power dynamics by prioritizing humans’ desire to belong to something instead of things belonging to them."
Amplifying the voices of BIPOC artists is central to Vizcarrondo-Laboy's practice. She serves as Assistant Curator at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD), New York where she has helped the curatorial team organize over twenty exhibitions since 2016, including 2021’s Craft Front & Center. She also oversees MAD’s Burke Prize, a prestigious contemporary craft award.
The prospectus for the NCECA Annual exhibition, Belonging, will open soon at nceca.net and submissions will be due by September 8, 2021.

Ceramic World Destinations
Interactive Website Launched by IAC
|
UNESCO affiliated International Academy of Ceramics (IAC) recently launched the interactive website Ceramic World Destinations. This dynamic online resource maps thousands of ceramic-related destinations around the world.
Developed over three years, the project was conceived by IAC Vice President Judith Schwartz and arose out of a wish to reveal the universal appeal of clay and link the global network of ceramics. Featured destinations include museums, galleries, stores, manufacturers, local events, institutions, cultural sites, and other ceramic-oriented venues. Also included are artist residency programs and artist studios open to the public.
Simple to navigate and smartphone friendly, the site incorporates an interactive pinned world map through which visitors can focus on a specific geographic area or use search boxes to narrow their focus. Clicking on pins opens links to various destinations' websites. In this time of restrictive travel, the site might be the sort of valuable resource to inspire, plan, hope, learn and dream of future visits to destinations near and far. Contact ceramicdestinations@gmail.com for additional information.
