I'll be spending Memorial day weekend (5-23 through 5-26) in St. Louis,
Missouri. Can any of you suggest ceramic or art related things to see in St.
Louis? I'd like to know about art fairs or exhibits, if there will be any
that weekend.
Also, I'd like to know about any other attractions which aren't art related
which you might suggest--restaurants, museums, outdoor activities, whatever.
Also, am I likely to encounter the infamous St. Louis heat and humidity
around that time of year?
Please feel free to email me directly if you have any information.
Thanks,
Janet

hi janet, gina bobrowski has a show up at the Laumeier Sculpture Park in
the inside galleries. It consists of three rooms of large scale animal
and figurative clay sculptures and in one room there is a mural drawn on
the walls with ceramic pigments. In a 4th room there are both sculptures
of hers and pots that are drawn on with her imagery in majolica that are
collaborative with me. It is a beautiful show that is invested with ideas
of two dimensional and three dimensional imagery combining to create a
very dense and active world. Laumeier is a county park in Kirkwood, a
suburb of St Louis, that is a county park that is devoted to sculpture.
The grounds outside are filled with sculpture that represents a large
segment of people working from the twentieth century. Gina's show ends
on Monday, memorial day so your timing is perfect.
Hope you get to go

Janet -
It may be hot, but certainly not unbearable. The American Artisan (I hope I
have the name right) on DelMar is worth checking out, as is the Duane Reed
gallery, which I believe is on Taylor, east of Euclid, north of I-64. The
St.Louis Museum of Art, on Art Hill in Forest Park, has one of the most
amazing collections of Mesoamerican and South American Pre-Columbian
ceramics I have seen, plus good collections of Islamic, Chinese, European,
American Arts and Crafts Movement ceramics, and more. More than that, it is
just a great museum, maneageable in one day, with an excellent restaurant
for lunch. Also, this is a bit esoteric, but the American Museum of
Transportation has one of the country's largest collections of steam
locomotives. I said it was a bit esoteric, but it's heaven for me. And
there's this giant McDonalds advertisement down by the river. Seriously, the
arch is one of the most beautiful monumental formalist sculptures I know of.
Too bad they do not light it at night. I wonder why???
