Opening reception for "(Re)Form"

6 to 8 p.m.

H&R Block Artspace at KCAI
16 E. 43rd St.

The opening reception will be held in conjunction with KCAI's Alumni Weekend.

“(Re)Form” explores recent work by graduates of the KCAI ceramics program from the late 1960s to the present.

Curated by Catherine L. Futter, the Helen Jane and R. Hugh “Pat” Uhlmann Curator of Decorative Arts at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the exhibition will include pieces primarily in ceramics that have been completed in the last two years and display a wide range of perspectives.

The artists invited to participate in the exhibition include well-known, mid-career and emerging artists who offer a variety of viewpoints — from the vessel and functional work to sculptures, installations and performance art.
