| | Bede Clarke: Gypsy Hymns
September 7 - December 15, 2018The expansive, expressive ceramic works of Bede Clarke incorporate the tactile qualities of drawing and painting. Clarke describes his process as one that is guided by a dialogue with the work; “a voice that has commitment and conviction, but also the allure of mystery and enigma. I am always most pleased when striking a balance of wildness and restraint.” |

| Church of the crossroads:
Renée stout in the Belger collection
March 2, 2018 - October 28, 2018
at Belger Arts Center
Renée Stout is one of the seven core artists who are represented in
quantity in the Belger Collection. “Church of the Crossroads” contains
nearly 100 artworks spanning Stout’s artistic output from the mid –
1980s into the early 2000s. Stout’s artwork explores spirituality,
especially Vodou as practiced in New Orleans. At times Stout would
create as an alter-ego, Fatima. In 2012 she told a writer for the
Baltimore Fishbowl, “I feel that creating an alter-ego allows me to free
myself from the constraints of my own persona. Early on in life we kind
of get caught up in becoming the person our parents and society expect
us to be, especially women. The Fatima character allows me to shed all
of that and re-invent myself in order to make work that I feel is more
true to who I actually am.”
