Belger Crane Yard Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of two- and three-dimensional artwork created by members of the Studio Nong Collective during their artistic residency in Kansas City. The Collective consists of eight artists and educators from the Guangxi Arts Institute in China, Kansas City Art Institute, and Memphis School of Art. Formed through a shared interest in the traditions and techniques of figurative ceramic sculpture, each member has a unique, creative approach and shares an interest in past traditions of eastern and western practice as an innovative platform. The Studio Nong International Residencies program, established by the Collective, produces work made in an atmosphere of intensive collaboration and mentorship, that allows each member of the collective to function simultaneously as mentor and maker. Participating artists are: Jessie Fisher and Misty Gamble (Kansas City Art Institute); Zhenhai He, Shanwu Huang, Bangmin Nong, and Jigang Qin (Guangxi Arts Institute); Scott Seebart (Kansas City Art Institute); and Leandra Urrutia (Memphis College of Art). |

Join us as we premiere a multi-media installation, a replica of a suite from Kansas City’s historic Hotel Phillips that served as Peregrine Honig’s studio in early 2015. The exhibition features a new suite of Honig’s prints and paintings created at Hotel Phillips and during a printmaking residency in China. Her work explores themes of privacy, intimacy, and sexuality. A dance suite, choreographed by Jane Gotch with videography by Johanna Brooks, is also televised within the installation. |
