Flow: The 2014 NCECA Invitational - CALL for Submissions DEADLINE JUNE 5, 2013

Flow: The 2014 NCECA Invitational seeks an elite group of memorable ceramic works that embody the spirit and physical properties of flow. The exhibition will be held at the Milwaukee Art Museum from February 22 to March 23, 2014 to coincide with NCECA’s 48th Annual Conference. NCECA Exhibitions Director Linda Ganstrom and Mel Buchanan, Mae E. Demmer Assistant Curator of 20th-century Design at the Milwaukee Art Museum are exhibition organizers and co-curators. The 2014 NCECA Invitational explores the significance of flow in physical, historical and symbolic manifestations. We experience flow through material and movement as embodied in water, clay and glaze. Flow can also be a feeling as manifested in the quality of a line or the experience of music. Flow is also the energy of electricity and Ideas. Artists can flow in a state of focused motivation that brings a deep enjoyment to the process of their activity. Our present fluidly becomes our past. The museum promotes the flow of culture through the presentation of artworks and ideas of material culture. Included artists will be eligible for a limited reimbursement of shipping expenses and receive a complementary copy of the exhibition catalog.
