April 16 • 6 PM EST • GUILD GALLERY • 321 Canal Street, NYC
FDC Members are invited to a private tour of the GUILD GALLERY and RW GUILD led by gallery director Whitney Hardin. On view will be Moon Jars: No Simple Matter, a group exhibition celebrating the enduring ingenuity of the moon jar, an iconic form in Korean ceramics. The show explores how this large, globular jar — whose shape evokes the full moon — has inspired and influenced the creative practices of eight international artists across borders and centuries. “Crafting a moon jar is both an engineering feat and an artistic endeavor,” says Glenn Adamson, co-curator of the exhibition. “Its asymmetry, organic profile, and unpredictable glaze create an indeterminate beauty. Every angle reveals something new—an ever-shifting object that resists simplicity while embracing the complexity of true art.”
The tour will take place April 16th, from 6 - 8pm, with light refreshments.
