description: Beatrice Wood was a master ceramicist whose works, so seemingly simple, belie a rigor that few modern artists had achieved prior. She was internationally recognized for the beauty of her forms and the startling quality of her lusters. Luster, the glazed surface, is produced through the careful combination of chemicals, which are brushed onto the clay surfaces, and the firing process during which oxygen is reduced for prescribed periods of time. Wood began making ceramics at the age of 40 upon enrolling in an adult education class. She developed recipes for a myriad of lusters which look similar to ancient antique vessels. This similarity in appearance is understandable given the artists life-long interest in folk crafts and her exploration of universal shapes and forms. Historians attribute Woods daring developments in ceramics to her involvement with the Dada movement in the early 1900s, which cultivated an ironic and playful sensibility that encouraged a disavowal of prescribed ideas about art. Indeed this flamboyant artist was often referred to as the Mama of Dada and counted artists such as Marcel Duchamp as good friends. And like Duchamps porcelain urinal, Fountain, Woods works claimed an irrepressible sense of freedom that looked towards the progressive in art.

description: Rose fur direkte Demokratie, [Rose for Direct Democracy]
description: etched glass beaker with rose
description: 13 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches
description: Rose fur direkte Demokratie etched in glassThis multiple derives from Josef Beuys Office for Direct Democracy through Referendum (ODD) installation at Documenta 5 (1972) and is typical of the Fluxus artists call for an engaged conceptual art practice that would break down clear-cut distinctions between established art discourse and the politics of everyday life. Beuys employed two parallel processes during this period, namely the creation of concrete artworks and action-performances on the one hand, and counter-institutional frameworksthe basis for free grass-roots public debate on social and ideological issues, particularly the dismantling of traditional party politicson the other. For Documenta, he transposed the Dseldorf office of ODDdesks, filing cabinets, blackboardsdirectly into the exhibition space, creating an information and educational center designed to critique and expand the institutional framework of the event itself. The office included two multiples: We wont do it without the rose, a photograph depicting Beuys didactically engaging with a Documenta visitor; and Rose for direct democracy, a single red rose in an etched, graduated chemistry beaker. The symbolic meaning of the latter is fairly clear, constructing a dialectical binary between passionate love and revolutionary socialism, art and science, bodily affect and empirical investigation. However, Beuys also saw the rose as symptomatic of an evolutionary progress toward a concrete revolutionary goal outside of conventional party hierarchies. (CHECK FILE FOR FULL TEXT0

She was internationally recognized for the beauty of her forms and the startling quality of her lusters. Luster, the glazed surface, is produced through the careful combination of chemicals, which are brushed onto the clay surfaces, and the firing process during which oxygen is reduced for prescribed periods of time. Wood began making ceramics at the age of 40 upon enrolling in an adult education class. She developed recipes for a myriad of lusters which look similar to ancient antique vessels. This similarity in appearance is understandable given the artists life-long interest in folk crafts and her exploration of universal shapes and forms. Historians attribute Woods daring developments in ceramics to her involvement with the Dada movement in the early 1900s, which cultivated an ironic and playful sensibility that encouraged a disavowal of prescribed ideas about art. Indeed this flamboyant artist was often referred to as the Mama of Dada and counted artists such as Marcel Duchamp as good friends. And like Duchamps porcelain urinal, Fountain, Woods works claimed an irrepressible sense of freedom that looked towards the progressive in art

In Diet Life Force, Dwyer shows brightly colored arrows that zoom toward the center of a mirrored expanse, perfectly framing the viewer.

description: 14 1/8 x 17 1/8 x 7/8 in
description: In 1980, Michael Gonzalez enrolled in the California Institute for the Arts (CalArts) at the age of 26, when his artistic references stemmed from comic books and custom cars. Influenced by visual culture, his works critique the glossy aesthetics of optical art, minimalism, and geometric abstraction through everyday materials, in turn raising timely questions about consumption and discarded material culture. This 1990s series exemplifies that approach: Gonzalez manually deconstructs the Wonder brand’s brightly colored bread packaging and presses it in plexiglass to create provocative compositions. Throughout the Wonder series, the ubiquitous logo is rendered as a pattern. The depth, created not only by layers of plexiglass but also by Gonzalez's hypnotic play with dimension, appears to extend toward infinity. In one work, the Wonder logo plunges toward the bottom of the transparent canvas into a seemingly haphazard mess of colored circles, typography, and white rectangles, with the gallery wall occupying the negative space. In another, Wonder’s branding is reduced to a geometric abstraction, as Gonzalez takes advantage of the blue circles' ready-made transparency.

description: clay vessel with gold luminescent glaze; cylindrical in shape with 4 legs on bottom;Beatrice Wood was a master ceramicist whose works, so seemingly simple, belie a rigor that few modern artists had achieved prior. She was internationally recognized for the beauty of her forms and the startling quality of her lusters. Luster, the glazed surface, is produced through the careful combination of chemicals, which are brushed onto the clay surfaces, and the firing process during which oxygen is reduced for prescribed periods of time. Wood began making ceramics at the age of 40 upon enrolling in an adult education class. She developed recipes for a myriad of lusters which look similar to ancient antique vessels. This similarity in appearance is understandable given the artists life-long interest in folk crafts and her exploration of universal shapes and forms. Historians attribute Woods daring developments in ceramics to her involvement with the Dada movement in the early 1900s, which cultivated an ironic and playful sensibility that encouraged a disavowal of prescribed ideas about art. Indeed this flamboyant artist was often referred to as the Mama of Dada and counted artists such as Marcel Duchamp as good friends. And like Duchamps porcelain urinal, Fountain, Woods works claimed an irrepressible sense of freedom that looked towards the progressive in art

description: Brushed steel square with horizontal slit cut into center.Gretchen Benders work mines the tropes and language of mass media which she considered a cannibalistic riverthat absorbs everything. Her work, Total Recall, has a sinister appearance with its cold, metal surface and horizontal slit. Only by stepping closer and peering into the seeming void can viewers make out the illuminated words: Life Force, Moving Violation, Bio Toxin and Code of Silence, among others, all film titles. As she states: We recognize the film industry as a very important part of our culture economically and aesthetically and I think its a whole area that should be provoked more. Film and its invocations are much more powerful instruments economically and politically in our lives than we seem aware of. We say were aware of it, but in a glib way. Benders work explores the relationship between the film industry and the multi-national corporations that own them and in her words, own the worldthe mechanisms that make the world run.

description: 1 7/8 x 6 x 5 1/8"
description: In 1975, theBritish musician, producer, and visual artist, Brian Eno, together with the late English painter Peter Schmidt, addressed the challenge of breaking out of creative roadblocks by writing a series of phrases they dubbed "worthwhile dilemmas." These phrases, which suggest approaches from another direction, became known as Oblique Strategies. Originally published as a deck of cards in an austere format, they became an underground hit and sold out in three revised editions and were part of the Norton Christmas Gift. In 1996, as the Strategies were long out of print, Mr. Norton suggested to Eno a "fourth, yet again revised, and more universal edition." Norton edited the newly revised phrases and commissioned their translation into the six languages collectively spoken (English, Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic). Artist Pae White was commissioned to turn the cards' plain black-and-white format into an extravagantly colored format and housed in a Corian container that is known separately as "Bill's Bad Bone." These strategy cards have found widespread use in dozens of countries, at writers' desks, in artists' studios, and even in boardrooms.

Comprehending the construction can be difficult, since areas may appear transparent when in fact they are showing a reflection.

description: An avid motorcycle rider, Billy Al Bengston adapted the spray-gun technique used in customizing cycles to his own art work in the 1960s. Working on the unyielding surfaces of Masonite or metal, Bengston employed spray guns and airbrushes to achieve a sleek surface which he then marked with a recognizable yet out-of-context symbols, such as a cross, heart, iris, or, as in this work, sergeant stripes. While familiar, these centrally placed emblems resist a narrative interpretation and instead heighten awareness of the painted surface. Similarly, the dented metal both disrupts the composition and becomes art of it.
