Connecting through Clay, Karatsu Pottery
Mixing shapes, colors and techniques, the Connecting through Clay, Karatsu
Pottery exhibition highlights a variety of pottery vessels by four Karatsu-trained
potters: Takashi Nakazato, a thirteenth generation Karatsu potter, his
son Taki Nakazato and his daughter Hanako Nakazato, and Malcolm Wright,
an American potter who studied in Karatsu. While these four artists share
a common background of training, they have each developed their own artistic
expression outside of the realm of traditional Karatsu pottery. Their pottery
will be displayed during the exhibition from July 11 through 30.
Special Event:
Tea Ceremony: July 25, 3:00, 3:30, 6:00 and 6:30pm, Interactive tea

Hiroshi Sugimoto: History of History
One of the most internationally-acclaimed Japanese artists living today,
Hiroshi Sugimoto is best known for his series of long-exposure photographic
series of empty movie theaters and drive-ins, seascapes, dioramas and wax
museums. This exhibition juxtaposes Sugimoto's exquisitely minimalist works,
selected from the photographer's past and most recent series, with fossils,
artworks and religious artifacts ranging from the third to the 15th centuries,
all drawn from his own collection. The result is an extended exploration
of time, life and spirituality as perceived in the contexts of nature and
history. The exhibition, Sugimoto writes, addresses "recorded history,
unrecorded history, and still another history--that which is yet to be
depicted… like parts waiting to be assembled in a do-it-yourself
kit."
