Linda Sullivan, Clay
Linda developed a special interest in glaze chemistry and development while receiving her Master of Fine Arts degree in Studio Ceramics at Northern Illinois University. She continues to experiment with glazes, including crystalline glazes, which are some of the most difficult for achieving successful results. Linda states that the process for creating crystalline work is challenging and requires exacting conditions to ensure that crystals form – appropriate clay body, refined forms, fluid glazes with specific chemical ingredients, correct thickness of glaze, and complex firing and cooling kiln cycles. After the kiln reaches peak temperature, a computerized schedule controls the specific points and durations at which the temperature is held steady to encourage crystal formation. Coloring oxides in the glaze determine the resulting colors. Just as in nature when all conditions are perfect, crystals develop and grow, resulting in uniquely glazed pieces that differ from one another and cannot be duplicated.

EWING GALLERY | ART + ARCHITECTURE BUILDING, UT CAMPUS

Since 1981, Cecelia Condit’s videos have created heroines whose lives swing between beauty and the grotesque, innocence and cruelty, youth and fragility. Her work puts a subversive spin on the traditional mythology of women in film and the psychology of sexuality and violence. Exploring the dark side of female subjectivity, her “feminist fairy tales” focus on friendships, age, and the natural world.

The Ewing Gallery of Art + Architecture will be exhibiting a rotating selection of Condit’s short films as well as a monumental installation of her latest film, A Parable of Now — a triptych that represents Condit’s reaction to the environmental crisis and our uncertain futures.

Artist Lecture, Monday, September 30, 5:30pm | McCarty Auditorium, A+A Building
Condit’s lecture is sponsored by the Denbo Center for Humanities & the Arts as part of their 2024-2025 Distinguished Lecture Series.

Knoxville Museum of Art (KMA) is thrilled to launch an exciting new schedule of exhibitions, beginning with Jo Sandman/TRACES, opening to the public on August 23, 2024. The public is warmly invited to the opening reception that Friday from 6:00-9:00 pm. A special Members-Only hour will take place from 6:00-7:00 pm, with a talk by Alice Sebrell, curator of TRACES, at 6:15. Attendees can expect to enjoy summer refreshments, a signature cocktail, and a special musical performance by Rubens Ghenov. The event is free and open to the public, with a cash bar.

Jo Sandman is celebrated for her restless curiosity, sparked by her time at Black Mountain College, and expressed through her experimentation with various imagery, materials, and processes. For more than seventy years, she fearlessly explored an interdisciplinary mix of painting, drawing, experimental sculpture, installation, and photography. Close examination of this work reflects Sandman’s desire to try anything in pursuit of her ideas. TRACES, organized by the Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, Asheville, NC, offers viewers a rare opportunity to experience the evolution of the artist’s journey over multiple decades.

"We are honored to present Jo Sandman's TRACES at the Knoxville Museum of Art," said KMA Executive Director Steven Matijcio. "Her unique artistic vision and profound impact on the art world make this exhibition a must-see for art enthusiasts and the broader community alike."

Mary Bow
Images of many different animals, both domesticated and wild, are rendered in thickly applied acrylic paint on textured canvases using a dry brush technique that allows successive layers of color to show through. Bow hopes to provoke empathy for non-human animals as they live, raise their young and experience joy, sorrow and pain. Mary Bow has degrees in Anthropology, Psychology, and Visual Art, as well as higher degrees in Education. She feels that she has a unique perspective on how human relationships with others in the animal kingdom have changed over time. www.marypbow.com

Curt Imerman’s finely detailed drawings of barns are created by using fine-tipped pens as a brush rather than an instrument to draw lines. As the tip of the pen wears away from use, it produces lighter and finer lines, allowing different effects. Imerman says, “Barns are disappearing from our country’s landscape at an ever-increasing rate. Barns are a part of our Americana. This is my way of memorializing and sharing my fascination with old, weathered barns.” Imerman’s attention to detail comes from his career as a mechanical designer for a major U.S. crane manufacturer. While designing cranes, Curt’s drawing talent was called upon to prepare conceptual drawings of various lift crane designs. He is a member of the Art Market Gallery in Knoxville and serves on their Board of Directors.
