Stoneware, glaze, and ceramic decal, 13 x 10 x 1.5 in. Photo courtesy of the artist. | Belger Crane Yard Gallery presents Salvador Jiménez-Flores' solo exhibition, Arte-Sano: Soy libre porque pienso, opening Friday, February 2, at 2011 Tracy Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64108. An opening night reception will be held from 6 pm to 8 pm, where the artist will give remarks at 6:30 pm. Salvador Jiménez-Flores is a Chicago-based artist and educator who, as a teenager, immigrated from Mexico to the U.S. His body of work is steeped in his experience as a bi-cultural, bilingual artist living “concurrently in two different worlds.” Arte-Sano: Soy libre porque pienso showcases the breadth of his practice through a range of media. His ceramics, glass, metalwork, photography, and prints reflect the artist’s continued exploration of the politics of identity and the state of double consciousness. He also highlights the struggles and complexities of Latinx people living in the U.S. | | | Artist talk and First Friday Glassblowing Demo | | In conjunction with his sold out "Introduction to Goblet Making" class, artist and Belger Glass Annex instructor Hoseok Youn will give a free artist talk and glassblowing demonstration:
