Franco Mondini-Ruiz: Dulce: Bisque Without Borders

San Antonio-based artist Franco Mondini-Ruiz, winner of the Rome Prize and featured in the 2000 Whitney Biennial, mines the ASU Art Museum’s ceramics collection, bringing together both favorite gems and objects that have been in storage for decades to create Dulce: Bisque Without Borders.
 
Also included in this three-part project is Limpia: Revisiting the Collection, a re-installation of the collection in open storage. Limpia, or “cleaning,” highlights the best works in the collection in a new and exciting format.
 
And, during the reception weekend (Friday, Sept. 30 from 7 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 31 from 11 .m. to 5 p.m.), join us for Tienda Franco, a performance/party/market where Mondini-Ruiz will be peddling his readymade objects and making art affordable for all.
 
This exhibition is funded by the Joseph Dung Ceramics Initiative, the HBB Foundation and by members of the Ceramics Research Center’s Artists’ Advisory Committee. The reception is funded in part by Armstrong/Prior.
