The John Natsoulas Gallery is thrilled to host this installation exhibition of Yoyo Hu’s innovative ceramics. Future Relics - An Archaeology of the Present, positions the contemporary moment as a future excavation site. Through large-scale ceramic installations, hybrid digital–physical processes, and sculptural fragments that hover between ruin and reconstruction, the exhibition imagines how our present may be interpreted centuries from now. What will survive when technologies shift faster than habits, emotions, and cultural infrastructures? What forms of memory will be preserved, distorted, or erased? The exhibition expands upon the inherent paradox of ceramics: it is simultaneously one of the oldest human technologies and one of the most vulnerable to breakage, erosion, and loss.
The John Natsoulas Gallery is proud to present the this exhibition of sculptures by renown ceramist Susannah Israel. Exhibited on the second floor the gallery, her body of work is a reflection of the humor she uses to confront the struggles of life. Her emphasis of gesture takes an equal role to her interest in abstraction and distortion. The dynamic figures, some in conversation with a paired piece, offer viewers discrete narratives to consider, even as the overarching themes remain cohesive.
The John Natsoulas Gallery is pleased to present a collection of George Tchobanoglous’s fabulous photography in the newest exhibition - Old and New Images. George Tchobanoglous is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, at the University of California, Davis. Photography has been a lifelong hobby and passion. He began taking photographs when he was fifteen and printing them in a makeshift darkroom in the cellar of his parent’s farmhouse in Patterson, California.
