Man or Myth? Explorations on Masculinity
May 4 to June 30, 2012
Opening Reception: Friday, May 4, 7:00pm

Three artists explore their personal relationships with the traditional notions of masculinity and how this identity can be a fluid one. The Croatian-born Srdjan Segan’s 40-foot elongated clay site-specific sculpture and 30-foot long drawings of the ‘every-human’ pulls from his war experiences while a refugee during the Serbo-Croatian war. Meanwhile, Clint Neufeld’s series of slip-cast ceramic auto transmissions and parts are decorated with delicate Rococo filigree and ornamentation. Finally, the infamous ceramic sculptor, Léopold L. Foulem unveils his latest works, Bibelots in which the figurine—a trivial cultural object—powerfully challenges the status quo.
