Dubhe Carreņo Gallery's primary focus is to contribute to the development
of contemporary ceramic art through the exhibition of a diverse range of
artists who deal with issues of contemporary relevance.
Dubhe Carreņo Gallery explores the current state of ceramic art
through exhibitions and events designed to promote national and
international emerging and mid-career artists.
The idea of having a venue strictly for artists working in the
field of ceramics is not intended to alienate ceramics from the rest of
the arts, but rather to concentrate energy into educating art audiences
about the physical and conceptual versatility of today's ceramics. Dubhe Carreņo Gallery's goal is to offer the city of Chicago a
platform for presenting
a new dynamic exemplified by the diversity of media and concept
being explored by
contemporary
ceramic artists which reflects the ongoing growth and development within
the field. Another objective
is to promote artists who in many cases have transformed ceramics into a
new genre by breaking deeply rooted conventions based on ceramics' past
and its inevitable association with functionality and tradition, while
remaining conscious of this history's inherent potential to inform current
tendencies and preoccupations in art. Dubhe Carreņo Gallery also aims to introduce international ceramic
artists to the United States, thereby expanding their visibility and
offering to the public a culturally diverse range of formal and conceptual
languages.
