2.Entry Form: Ink & Clay 38 (mcaprint.blogspot.com)
Jurors: Ink - Michelle Deziel
Clay - Carol Sauvion
Michelle Deziel is an Independent Contemporary Art Curator and Consultant. Deziel is currently organizing the first major West Coast retrospective of Los Angeles painter and printmaker Ynez Johnston at the Mingei Museum in San Diego (2011). She is also working as a consultant on the Norton Simon Museum of Art’s exhibition PROOF: The Rise of Printmaking in Southern California (2011) and co-authoring the catalogue for the Torrance Art Museum’s 2012 show Between the Knowing. Deziel was formerly a curator at the Norton Simon Museum, where for ten years she managed the museum’s collection of 20th century art and organized numerous exhibitions, including works on paper exhibits by Goya, Picasso, Diebenkorn and Ruscha. She holds a B.A. degree in Art History and French from Cal State University, Long Beach. She also studied at the Université de Paris, Sorbonne and the Université d’Aix-Marseilles in France.
When asked by what criteria she would judge the “Ink” submissions, Deziel responded: “When asked to jury exhibitions, my approach is to carefully and critically examine each submission before making a selection.
I am interested in works of art that have the power to engage aesthetically, conceptually and technically. Whether a drawing or a print, the artist’s technical mastery must be evident-quality always stands out-as does originality and innovation.”
Carol Sauvion is the Founder and Director of Freehand Gallery in Los Angeles, California, and is theExecutive Producer of the Peabody Award winning and Emmy nominated CRAFT IN AMERICA television series broadcast nationwide on PBS. She has served as curator and juror for numerous exhibitions, and has been a guest speaker at a multi- tude of museums and conference venues including the Smithsonian Institution and the Getty Institute. Sauvion holds a degree in Art History from Manhattanville College in New York, and has over ten years experience as a studio potter and instructor.
She is currently filming the second episode in CRAFT IN AMERICA’S third season. In describing the criteria by which she would determine her selections, Sauvion relates: I look forward to jury- ing the ceramics for the Ink and Clay 2012 exhibition at Kellogg University Art Gallery. I consider it a unique opportunity to become familiar with the work of artists from a large geographic area. Whether produced in quantity or as one-of-a-kind, the ideal handmade work reflects excellence and the unique vision of its maker.
It is well conceived and skillfully executed, with the concept and the technique in balance. Ultimately, the object is perceived as more than the sum of its techniques and materials. These are the qualities I look for when jurying.

Melancholy: At the Bottom of Everything...Forever
Deadline: December 2, 2011 Publicly Juried:December 4-16, 2011 Opens: December 18, 2011 Fee: $35 for up to 10 images, free for members. Apply now >>
Hippocrates theorized that all people fall into one of four basic "temperaments" or personality types: Melancholic, Sanguine, Choleric, and Phlegmatic. He assumed that each personality type was the result of an overabundance of a certain bodily fluid (black bile, blood, bile, and phlegm respectively), hence their designations. A Melancholic personality is characterized by creativity and sensitivity, though prone to depression. A Sanguine person is light hearted, spontaneous, and confident --though sometimes also day-dreamy and overindulgent. Cholerics are ambitions and charismatic, but often impulsive and easily angered. The Phlegmatic temperament is characterized by self-assured calm, though they can be unemotional and inhibit the enthusiasm of others.
While the notion that one's personality is shaped by an overabundance of phlegm or blood is now regarded as ridiculous, the 4 personality types Hippocrates identified have stayed with us. Though the types have changed and been refined, they are still part of the basis of modern personality modeling.
As products of the human mind, artworks often also can be attributed "personality" traits. An energetically painted landscape rendered in saturated color can be described as sanguine; a delicately lit black and white photograph of a contemplative figure can be said to be melancholy. An artwork's temperament does not necessarily reflect the temperament of the artist that produced it.
We are seeking artwork that possesses or infers the characteristics associated with the Melancholic temperament, or the emotional state of melancholy. Below you'll find more information on Melancholy and the Melancholic type, to get you started.
Melancholic, from Wikipedia, November 10, 2008 see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Temperaments
Melancholic is the personality of an individual characterized by black bile; a person who was a thoughtful ponderer had a melancholic disposition. Often very kind and considerate, melancholics can be highly creative - as in poetry and art - but also can become overly pre-occupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world, thus becoming depressed. The temperament is associated with the season of fall/autumn (dry and cold) and the element earth. A melancholic is also often a perfectionist, being very particular about what they want and how they want it in some cases. This often results in being unsatisfied with one's own artistic or creative works and always pointing out to themselves what could and should be improved. This temperament describes the depressed phase of a bipolar disorder. There is no bodily fluid corresponding to black bile; the medulla of the adrenal glands, which decomposes very rapidly after death, can be associated with it.
Melancholy, from Answers.com, November 10, 2008 see http://www.answers.com/topic/melancholy
noun 1. Sadness or depression of the spirits; gloom: “There is melancholy in the wind and sorrow in the grass” (Charles Kuralt). 2. Pensive reflection or contemplation. adj. 1. Affected with or marked by depression of the spirits; sad. See synonyms at sad. 2. Tending to promote sadness or gloom: a letter with some melancholy news. 3. Pensive; thoughtful.
Quotes:
"Melancholy is at the bottom of everything, just as at the end of all rivers is the sea. Can it be otherwise in a world where nothing lasts, where all that we have loved or shall love must die? Is death, then, the secret of life? The gloom of an eternal mourning enwraps, more or less closely, every serious and thoughtful soul, as night enwraps the universe." - Henri Frederic Amiel
"Melancholy, indeed, should be diverted by every means but drinking." - Samuel Johnson
"Sweet bird, that shun the noise of folly, most musical, most melancholy!" - John Milton
