We the People: A Conversation on Contemporary Art hosted by Albright-Knox Art Gallery this Thursday | Brass Quick Connect Couplings

“Currier’s sculpture is both a study in balance and an invitation to discovery,” said Nancy Weekly, exhibition curator. As she has stated, her Anamorphosis series reflects, “the interplay of masses and voids. Absence and presence, light and shadow, stasis and motion are subject matter. The dimensional tension and dynamics of human figures found in Greek and Buddhist temple pediments, and most recently, the structural flatness and synthesis of planar shapes in Cubist still-life paintings intrigue me.”

Currier’s latest tiles, designed in eight variations, will be displayed in public for the first time on two free-standing walls in the Burchfield Penney exhibition. She utilized both wheel-thrown and hand-built techniques to create undulating waves, articulated in both positive and negative profiles, and coated with uniquely formulated glazes that accentuate the rise and fall in the tiles’ surfaces. One is a semi-opaque iridescent satin white; the other is an opaque charcoal satin that breaks with a bronze sheen.

Display has been curated by Nancy Weekly, Burchfield Scholar, Head of Collections & Charles Cary Rumsey Curator at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, and Burchfield Penney Instructor of Museum Studies at SUNY Buffalo State.

Zaman’s practice stems from a desire to bring different, and at times socially opposing, cultures together to highlight the beauty in each, and to call to attention a need for understanding. Oddly enough this is communicated via language that isn’t understandable, but that exact illegibility is what helps create a universal experience. Unable to read the text, the viewer is left to contemplate the intent of the artist and to glean meaning by focusing on the layers, both in the form of monochromatic and colorful applications of paint. There is room for both intellectual reads and more instinctive responses.

The Burchfield Penney is closed in celebration of New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

I was wondering if this “transformation toughened zirconium oxide” can (and could you reference the patents as I am wondering if can be made for hobby apps in the home shop) be used for pulse jet reeds since those are springs.
