Overthrown: Clay Without Limits

Overthrown: Clay Without Limits

Overthrown, Clay Without Limits - The Denver Art Museum

Overthrown: Clay Without Limits brings together regional, national and international artists who push the boundaries of clay to create large-scale installations that respond to the dynamic architecture of the Daniel Libeskind-designed Hamilton Building. The majority of the 25 participating artists will create site-specific artworks.

Highlights include a large-scale ceramic and found object sculpture by Linda Sormin that utilizes the colossal, slanted wall in the Hamilton Building atrium; an installation of suspended clay flakes, the largest around 300 pounds, by Neil Forrest; a 23-foot chandelier by Jeanne Quinn; and a tiled enclosure with freestanding elements by Anders Ruhwald. Overthrown also includes a sampling of smaller ceramic objects that acknowledges that other means, besides size, can challenge expectations of the material.

Exhibition curator: Gwen F. Chanzit, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art and the Herbert Bayer Collection and Archive

Location: Anschutz Gallery, Level Two, Hamilton Building

Overthrown: Clay Without Limits is organized by the Denver Art Museum. Significant support is provided by Fred and Jana Bartlit and Vicki and Kent Logan. Additional funding is provided by the Adolph Coors Foundation Exhibition Endowment Fund, the citizens who support the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, and the generous donors to the Annual Fund Leadership Campaign. Promotional support is provided by 5280 Magazine, CBS4, and The Denver Post. Special thanks to the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art.

The exhibition is part of Marvelous Mud: Clay Around The World exhibition, and it’s on view June 11 through September 18, 2011.
