EXHIBITIONS, Surrey Art Gallery
Jan. 19 to Mar. 24, 2013

The future is already here: Alex McLeod and Brendan Tang: Using Asian
and Western historical styles, science fiction, popular culture, and new
technologies, Tang and McLeod blend ceramics, photography, and
projected video to create mesmerizing fantasy worlds that probe the
boundaries between the real and the virtual. Guest curated by Rachel
Lafo.

Ornamentalism: Clint Neufeld and Dirk Staschke: Everyday forms
—from furniture and fruit to car engines and confections—are
transformed into poignant allegories of desire, labour, and leisure by
these two virtuoso ceramic sculptors.

Beyond the Vessels Edge: Ceramics from the Permanent Collection: The
functional gives way to the sculptural in this collection of ceramics by
artists John Chalke, Tam Irving, Ian Johnston, Sally Michener, Alwyn
O’Brien, Linda Stanbridge, and Diana Lynn Thompson.
