LONG BEACH, CALIF. â The Long Beach Museum of Art presents âElsa Rady: The Cycladic Swing,â February 4âMay 14.
For the past 20 years, in an effort to remove the ceramic vessel from the constraints of the tabletop and assert its identity as a unique, richly-layered work of art, Elsa Rady has explored a wide range of installation strategies in which to present her extraordinary ceramic sculpture. Her explorations have culminated in this series of installations in which her elegantly shaped porcelain vessels, spare and uniformly glazed, are placed on swinglike palettes, suspended from stainless steel cords.
âElsa Rady: The Cycladic Swingâ is accompanied with an illustrated publication, with an essay by guest curator Bernard Jazzar. The Long Beach Museum of Art is at 2300 East Ocean Boulevard. For information, 562-439-2119 or www.lbma.org.
