David Katz
October 16 – December 12, 2014
David Katz creates installations that negotiate the intersection of organic bodily forms and architectonic constructions. The push and pull between rectilinear structures of fired ceramic and a fluid, bodily expression of unfired clay serves as a metaphorical representation of human existence within the rectilinear world that increasingly defines our physical environment. Cage-like structures spread throughout the exhibition space provide sites of occupancy to house biomorphic clay form, sculpted to appear contorted and trapped, yet conveying a sense of agency and free will. Order emerges as unfired clay forms expand through space as webs of organization that link disparate sites into one large interconnected network of systems. -
Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity
September 12 – DECEMBER 12, 2014

Caleb Weintraub
August 28 – October 6, 2014
I am interested in institutions, the history of which may or may not be appropriate as we move towards a future both global and insular at the same time. I see something tribe-like in the absence of political and cultural homogeneity and in the simultaneous attempts to impose a sameness on disparate entities. -

The Pure Land & Duality
APRIL 10 – JUNE 8, 2014
Pure Land Buddhism is a devotional sect of Buddhism in East Asia centering on the worship of Amida Buddha. According to the Pure Land Sutras, composed in India in the 2nd century, Amida Buddha vowed to save all sentient beings by granting them rebirth in his realm, the "Western Paradise." This pure land endowed with miraculous characteristics ensured its inhabitants easy entry into nirvana and salvation from the impure land we now live in. Salvation could be attained by invoking the name of Amida Buddha with absolute faith in him. Those whom Amida Buddha especially wished to save are the sinful and impoverished humans and even tengu and demons who have no other means of salvation. The Pure Land Buddhism claims to be a genuine way of universal salvation. This case exhibits objects representing the good.
