About the Exhibition
“Tradition to Contemporary” showcases works by Chilean ceramic artists Pilar Baranda, Isadora Correa, Isabel Izquierdo, Ruth Krauskopf, Teresita Marin, Clemente McKay, Vivian Rosa, and Marilu Pelusa Rosenthal. The exhibition is curated by Marilu Pelusa Rosenthal, the recipient of the Goldmark Cultural Center’s 2023 Anthony Okonofua International Artist Residency and a founder and director of the Centro de Arte Curaumilla.
The works featured in the exhibition are broadly representative of the Chilean ceramics tradition, with an emphasis on sublime functional ware over purely decorative works.
All of the pieces in the exhibition were brought from Chile to Dallas by curator Rosenthal, with the aim of facilitating an educational, professional, and cultural exchange between North Texas ceramic artists and their counterparts in Chile.
