Sangha…In Collective Existence | NCECA at cityhomeCOLLECTIVE

The National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) is a ceramics conference that brings together thousands of artists and arts-enthusiasts in a new, inspired destination each year. The event features exhibitions and presentations by diverse creators from around the world in pottery, sculpture, design and performance….and this year, our very own Salt Lake City is playing host. From March 25th to the 29th, nearly every arts venue in the Greater Salt Lake Area will feature collaborative exhibitions as part of the conference - and we are honored to be among them. Download a map and exhibition list here, and plan to start your journey at cityhomeCOLLECTIVE. We will have two exhibitions on display for the public during our office hours next week, with an artist reception on Friday, March 28th from 6-9pm. 

Sangha…In Collective Existence showcases twelve artists who have ‘roots’ in the Indian subcontinent. Curators Devishi Seth and Rashi Jain describe this special exhibition:

The Sanskrit word Sangha is made up of two roots: sam and gha. Sam means “bringing” or “joining together,” while gha means “holding” and “maintaining.” Therefore, Sangha means “that which holds together and maintains.” We are connected through clay, and our bonds through the land. “Sangha…In Collective Existence,” reflects upon the evolutionary nature of the physical and spiritual fabric that molds and shapes us, as carriers of a culture and identity: in a constant flux, transforming individually and collectively into a global society through economics, politics, migration, etc., as we continue to carry this consciousness in our cellular being.

Antra Sinha, a participating artist who lives and works in Logan, Utah, gave us a preview of her work for the show, which carries themes of nature, community and human culture. As a whole, her artistic practice is inspired by the macro and micro of the universe, as well as nature’s geometric forms. Her sculptures for Sangha…In Collective Existence are inspired by hexagonal shapes found in nature, symbolizing community connections. 

Beautifully in alignment with our core values, we are honored to see this show take shape in our space and share it with our Collective family.

Also in collaboration with NCECA, Smooth and Striated is a coinciding exhibition on display in our community gallery and flex space, cityhomeUNDERGROUND. This two-person show features Salt Lake City artists Aimee Odum and Shasta Krueger, who explore modes of duality and the haptic with ceramic wall installations. This exhibition is presented in conjunction with NCECA’s Clay Around Town exhibition series for Utah artists. 

We hope you’ll join us for these unique art experiences at cityhomeCOLLECTIVE – mark your calendars for a reception celebrating all participating artists.

 

 Friday, March 28th 6:00pm-9:00pm | 645 E SOUTH TEMPLE
