Description
As part of the Mixed Media Lecture Series, the MICA Ceramics Department will host visiting artist Ann Agee, who will lecture on her work and influences. In a recent review in Art and America, Lilly Wei framed Agee’s work by saying, “Toying with once-ingrained notions of ceramics as a minor art, Agee’s porcelain creations are mischievous, wonderfully misbegotten offspring of sculpture, painting, objet d’art, and kitschy souvenir, throwing in some economic, sociopolitical, and gender commentary for good measure.” Agee’s work addresses and inhabits multiple media, riffs on Delftware, domestic interiors, and feminism with an elegance, style, and humor. Agee’s work is widely exhibited, most recently at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, Locks Gallery in Philadelphia, and Lux Art Institute in California. She has won numerous awards for her works including a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation award, and a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship.< p>Image: Ann Agee installing at Lux Art Institute, Encenitas, California
