Gallery 409, Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas
Conversations in Clay, the inaugural exhibition of the Ingrid and J.K. Lee Study Center, situates historic and contemporary works in dialogue to illuminate creative uses of clay and porcelain across space and time. In the hands of artists from Africa and East Asia, the techniques, forms, and expressions in ceramics are almost boundless.
