November 16 - 24, 2019
Partial Shade and Co-Lab Projects present an exhibition in two parts in conjunction with The East Austin Studio Tour. The first weekend will consist of a pit fire followed by an exhibition of the resulting ceramic objects the second weekend of EAST. Creating a parallel to Partial Shade’s larger curatorial practice, the objects on view will embody the unpredictability and chance inherent to working in an outdoor space. The contents of the fire dictate the surface color and texture of the objects; the methods for creating different surfaces re-frame domestic materiality as a series of chemical actions/reactions, compounds and sensitivities. Vapors from burning sawdust, manure, copper, newsprint, compost etc. enter the open pores of the objects, resulting in a pattern shaped by context and environment— residual evidence of contact.

Sterling Allen, Jesse Cline, Ryan Crowley, Alex Diamond, Connor Frew, Ron Geibel, Ryan Hawk, Merideth Hillbrand, Annie May Johnson, Zoe Koke, Ling-Lin Ku, Emily Lee, Gabo Martini, Bucky Miller, Rebecca Milton, Virginia Lee Montgomery, Michael Muelhaupt, Landon O’Brian, Scott Proctor, Tammie Rubin, Henry Smith, Rachael Starbuck, Shanie Tomassini, Ariel Wood
