The Clay Connection: Jim and Nan McKinnell

May 18–July 28, 2013

The Clay Connection: Jim and Nan McKinnell celebrates the five-decade careers of Jim and Nan McKinnell, whose prolific output included tens of thousands of ceramic works. The McKinnells, known for their diverse vessel forms, often collaborated on pieces, with one shaping the work and the other adding decoration. When viewing their solo pieces, though, their individual preferences become unmistakable. Beyond their own predilections and artwork, their innovations in ceramic technology and their commitment to teaching have provided the field of ceramic art with a lasting legacy. To sum up, their 50-year career evidences substance, challenge, and exquisite sensitivity.

Jim and Nan McKinnell are said to have lived largely. Their active role in changing the identity of American potters and American ceramics in the mid-twentieth century resulted in an important transformation of ceramic history. The story of the McKinnells and their work speaks of growth–artistic, personal, social–inspired by and creating itself of those most human partners, clay and grace. It’s a story well worth telling.

The exhibition will also include work from Rudy Autio (founding resident of the Archie Bray Foundation), Wayne Higby (professor of ceramics at Alfred University), Daniel Rhodes, Toshiko Takaezu, Clary Illian, Paul Soldner, Peter Volkos, Tom Potter, Kurt Weiser, Gerry Williams, Edwin and Mary Schier, Bob Turner, Bernard Leach, Betty Woodman, Henry Varnum Poor, Kate Horsman, Robert Turner, Warner & Alix MacKenzie, Karen Karnes & David Weinrib, Ken Furguson, David Shaner, Ruth Duckworth, Shoji Hamada, Vivika Heino, Michael Cardew, Val Cushing, and Don Reitz.

This exhibit is accompanied by The Clay Connection: Jim and Nan McKinnell, a 176-page book written by Susan Schoch and featuring 190 color and black-and-white photographs.

    Ever stop to think how much you’re spending on marked-up CPMs for Connected TV ads?
    If you’re using “premium” audience segments without verifying who you’re actually reaching, that money is likely feeding someone else’s family.

  7. Hi American Museum of Ceramic Art / AMOCA,

    I’ve built and trained an AI employee specifically for American Museum of Ceramic Art / AMOCA.

    It’s already been trained on 6+ hours worth of your publicly available data — your website, Google Business Profile, and more. It knows how to answer customer questions, capture leads, and even follow up — just like a team member would.

    This isn’t a sales call. It’s a 20-minute demo where you can actually interact with the AI employee and see what it can do.

    Would today or tomorrow work for a quick walkthrough? Schedule a time on my calendar to meet the agent I trained for you and see what she can do here: meetings.hubspot.com/dandy-/getdandy-trained-agent-luqman

    Talk soon,

    Thank you,

  20. Starseed Council

    Was instructed that this is the best way to get into contact with Rudy on behalf of the starseed council. You were sent down to Earth for the human experience but the transition of the evolution of the planet took a series of wrong turns. This is disrupting the whole experience and are calling back starseeds to their home planets and dimensions. In certain situations like this, we can pull you out or you will be able to leave anytime you want now being aware after the veil of forgetfulness. Memory purges and alterations can be initiated for the next experience on another planet/dimension or you could just choose to go back to the originating dimension or planet that you are originally from.

  28. It’s that time of year again. Payroll, vendors, inventory, and taxes are all hitting at once.

    If cash flow is getting tight, there’s still time to line up funding before the year ends.

    We help small businesses get approved and funded in 24 to 48 hours, even if the bank is closed or backlogged.

    No hard credit pull and no obligation, just a fast way to keep things moving smoothly through the holidays.

    Would you like me to send the details or give you a quick call?
