Fascinated by history and the alchemy of porcelain, Thurston (Columbus, OH) explores notions of authenticity and the compelling arena of translation. Through an ongoing series of iconic porcelain busts depicting the founding fathers of the United States, he examines translational misunderstanding and conflicting mythologies surrounding the subjects. The opening reception will be held on Friday, 11/18 from 6-8 p.m.
The exhibition runs through 1/15/23. Please note the gallery will be closed on 11/24, 11/25, 12/24, 12/25, 12/31, and 1/1 for the holidays.
