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:Workshop / Seminar:I'm in the U.S. Now\, So Why Isn't My English Getting Better?: Understanding and Avoiding a Language “Plateau” 
DESCRIPTION:Cost: Free\, but pre-registration is required. Registration opens on Monday May 16th at 9am and closes when it is full: http://icworkshopfridayjune3.eventbrite.com\n\nEvent description: It's common for international students and scholars who come to the U.S. to expect to be “fluent” in English by the time they return home. However\, many are surprised and disappointed to find that their English hasn't developed as much as they had hoped (even though they use English every day for school or work!). This workshop examines why language ability tends to “plateau” quickly no matter how long you spend in a foreign country\, and provides steps and strategies you can take right now to break through that barrier.\n\nWorkshop Presentation: Be advised that the workshop presentation will not be provided at the workshop. So please remember to print and bring them with you to the workshop so you can follow the presentation. If you have questions about the presentation\, please save your questions for the workshop.
