Princeton Day School is set to display work by ceramicist Adam Welch in the Anne Reid ’72 Art Gallery.
Adam Welch: bricks is scheduled to be open Nov. 25 to Dec. 19 at the gallery, 650 Great Road, Princeton. An artist’s reception is set for 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Dec. 5.
Welch uses the brick as a primary object, as it is characteristic of postmodern appropriation and the marriage of concept and form.
A lecturer in the Visual Arts Program at Princeton University since 2010, he also continues to work at Greenwich House Pottery, where was appointed director in 2011. Welch has participated in 21 exhibitions in the U.S. over the past five years.
In discussing his new exhibition, Welch said “my work incorporates design, documentation and intervention to reference and look at history and material culture. My interest in brick comes from it being a thing in itself, ubiquitous, quintessentially minimalist, and a hermetic object. Additionally, the fixed structure of the brick offers a source for limitless and liberating creative potential.”
This exhibition is open to the public 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday when school is in session, and by appointment on weekends.
