Circles, Squares & Triangles: The Shape of Things to Come
July 7 – September 26, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, July 11, 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm
CONCORD, NH –
A fine craft exhibition presented by the League of NH Craftsmen offers a
new perspective on the simple geometric shapes that we see in everyday
life. Circles, Squares & Triangles: The Shape of Things to Come is a multi-media
exhibition of the work of 63 master craftsmen – all juried members of
the League – that explores the simple and complex shapes formed along
the boundaries of imagination. The exhibition features handcrafted
jewelry, wood, fiber, clay, photography, metal, glass, calligraphy,
prints, and mixed media that depict various lines, shapes, and colors.
Some of the fine craft on display include: a handmade quilt that
illustrates New England’s springtime light through the placement of squares,
rectangles and small circles; a detailed model of a stucco house looks
like it is blowing in the wind, taking on a whimsical new shape; a
fabric necklace with round beads that represent buttons. Most of the
items in the exhibition are available for purchase.
The
exhibition starts July 7 and runs until September 26 at The Gallery at
The Craft Center and headquarters in the SMILE! building on 49 South
Main Street in Concord. All the fine craft items on display are
available for purchase, so visitors can appreciate and purchase the work
made by juried members of the League of NH Craftsmen (a list appears at the end of this release). The
public will be able to meet and speak with the participating exhibitors
during the opening reception on Friday, July 7 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The Gallery is located at 49 South Main Street, Suite 100, in Concord, NH and is open Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm, with extended hours on Thursdays until 7:00 pm, and Saturday, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
“Circles, squares, and triangles are presented in new and different
ways based on the inspiration and vision of our juried members. It is a
fun and fresh and colorful exhibition that people will really enjoy,”
said League Executive Director Susie Lowe-Stockwell.
Always on Display: The Grodin Permanent Collection Museum
The
League also displays a new selection of fine craft from its more than
300-lot permanent collection at the Grodin Permanent Collection Museum
at the League headquarters. This collection includes craft from the
League's early years to the present, including pieces made by some of
the world's renowned craftspeople, such as Otto and Vivika Heino and
Edwin and Mary Scheier. The museum provides fascinating insights into
the evolution of fine craft and should not be missed. Admission to the
museum is free.
