SUMMARY:Exhibition:Life in Ceramics: Five Contemporary Korean Artists  
DESCRIPTION:Korean ceramics have been admired since the 12th century for their superb craftsmanship and original shapes\, techniques\, and design\, as well as for their visual reflection of the culture's history and soul. This exhibition focuses on five artists with well established reputations in Korea\, whose visually stunning ceramic objects acknowledge and engage with Korean clay traditions yet embody innovative\, unexpected art making and conceptual approaches. Life in Ceramics brings together for the first time the work of Kim Yikyung\, Lee In Chin\, Lee Kang Hyo\, Lee Young-jae\, and Yoon Kwang-cho. These contemporary ceramicists take familiar\, everyday forms such as bowls and vases as a starting point from which to explore the astonishing beauty of these shapes as works of art. Each produces work grounded in Korea’s ancient ceramic traditions\, but takes it in new and often surprising directions. Objects from each artist’s everyday ware collection will also be shown\, so that visitors can examine how each artist makes the distinction between fine art and functional design.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:UMMA Projects: Amalia Pica
DESCRIPTION:Motivated by a desire for civic participation\, Amalia Pica's work often takes the form of temporary interventions on buildings\, monuments\, or objects\, documenting the artist's insertion of her own body into the landscape or her subtle alteration of it. The London-based Argentinian artist (b. 1978) works primarily with sculpture\, photography\, film\, and installation\, adopting a conceptual approach marked by wit and a sense of play. Perception\, time\, memory\, and a sense of how particular gestures read in different cultural contexts are central to Pica's work\, alternately highlighting moments of connection and disjunction. The promise - as well as the uncertainty - of communication is a persistent concern in Pica's oeuvre. Megaphones\, antennae\, podiums\, and signal flags are recurring motifs\, though rarely are these devices shown in a moment of use. Depicted at rest or disconnected from their functionality\, they become figures for potential communication\, carriers of a message that always remains hypothetical.

SUMMARY:Performance:Tony-Nominated Drama \"Next Fall\"
DESCRIPTION:Produced on Broadway by Elton John and his partner David Furnish\, Next Fall examines the controversial topic of religion and its stance on gay relationships in contemporary society. Next Fall received massive critical acclaim in New York\, both off and on-Broadway\, and garnered Tony\, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards Best Play nominations. The New York Times called it an “artful\, thoughtful and very moving story” and “an intellectual stealth bomb.” \n\nBrief description of the play:\n\nGay couple\, Adam and Luke\, are constantly at odds over their religious beliefs. Adam doesn't understand how Luke\, a devout Christian closeted to his family\, can pray to the same God that is supposed to condemn him. At the same time\, Luke agonizes that his atheist partner will go to hell. When Luke lands in a coma after a life-threatening accident\, everything comes to a head in the hospital waiting room when family and friends meet for the first time. Spanning five years of their relationship\, Next Fall is a thoughtful moral examination\, that moves deftly between serving up the laughs and exploring ideas to ponder long after the curtain comes down.\n\nThe box office is open 11am-6pm Monday-Saturday\, and we gladly make ticket reservations over the phone. \n\n734.663.0681 – Box Office
