Members Only: Toast And Talk With Karl Schweisow

Join us for an exclusive members-only event featuring the opening of Karl Schwiesow’s latest exhibition. Karl will guide us through his thought-provoking work, exploring the connection between ceramics and reconfigured domestic objects, where he employs both additive and subtractive processes to create "objects out of parts." Whether building with clay or reimagining everyday items, Schwiesow dissects functional objects and reconfigures them, inviting the viewer to reconsider their original intentions.

During this special artist talk, Karl will share his unique approach to art—focusing on the intersection of handmade objects and altered domestic items through the lens of open and closed semantic systems. By subverting functional fixedness, Schwiesow challenges the viewer to engage first with the sensory experience before language, allowing each piece to speak to its viewer emotionally and without immediate definition.

This is an opportunity to hear from the artist directly, learn more about his creative process, and explore how his work reshapes our understanding of purpose, meaning, and cultural assumptions.

Enjoy a toast, light refreshments, and a deeper connection with Karl’s art in this intimate setting.
