Constructs is an exhibition developed to coincide with the NCECA conference and features the work of Dylan Beck, Kate Dowell, and Daniel Forrest Hoffman. These three artists are alumni of Tyler School of Art's ceramics Master of Fine Art’s program; a program which encourages interdisciplinary and multimedia work. Kate Dowell interprets architectural strategies and structures with ephemeral materials to make work about the human condition. Her aim is to create a shared empathy between her constructed spaces and the viewer. Dylan Beck's sculptures examine, critique, and venerate the built environment. Recent works question the intrinsic costs of our land use practices, our information infrastructure, and the psychological effects of living in the “non-places” of a hypermodern world. Daniel Forrest Hoffman's work examines the body as it relates to structures. The work questions the ephemeral nature of build structures and the people who inhabit them. Constructs at FLUXspace runs March 12- April 3, 2010

The selected clay-centric artists in A Post Production Moment bring to the work an aesthetic that reflects their specific background and heritage: Jelena Gazidova explores the figure in context of her classical upbringing in Serbia, commenting on the clash of pop and classic culture. Benjamin Schulman (MS, USA) depicts in his work figures of American "lawn sculpture" thus referring to a landscape of artifice, stigma, and to issues of race and aggression. Daniela Richter (Swiss - Israel) lives in Jerusalem and renders in clay "stones" and "domestic objects" thus discussing issues of place and identity and femininity and material culture. Kate Doody's (NY, USA) metaphysical investigation of what is real hinges on material revelations and manipulated perceptions. Her indexical castings extrapolate from an identity an intrinsic residue. Sin - Ying Ho (British Hong Kong) constructs porcelain vases with blue and brown decal imagery depicting both American and Chinese cliché' images. Her work touches on issues of location, identity, and the impossibility of a genuine postcolonial culture. This exhibition is curated Anat Shiftan and Kate Doody. A Post Production Moment at FLUXspace runs March 31st-April 3rd.
