.-Lucy Lacoste Gallery is presenting Lily Fein and Josephine Burr: Articulating Space, showing July 10th through August 7th at 25 Main Street, Concord, MA. In this poetic show, two women ceramic artists with ties to Massachusetts challenge the boundaries of traditional ceramics and contemporary sculpture.
The show is a visual treat with both artists using the age-old technique of coiling and pinching to create their forms yet producing very different work. Their work is contemporarytaking unusual shapes, embracing light in new ways, and shifting the expected boundaries of artist, object, viewer, and artistic convention. Lily Fein, working intuitively, makes soft, undulating forms suggesting or relating to the human body. Feins hand is manifestly present yet subsumed by the liveliness of her pieces. Josephine Burr gives us objectivity, tempered by the hand. Beneath the stillness and bare weight of Burrs practice, a certain temporality and openness appear over time. Serendipitously, both artists work shares a similar warm white background.
