REAL OR IMAGINED? A New Twist on Everyday Objects





by Tamara Moscowitz

When is your favorite chair, lamp, vase, no longer an object of comfort, beauty, or function? Confused? Not so for Danish-born artist Anders Ruhwald. His small, thoughtful exhibition “Temperance!” at Miyako Yoshinaga art prospects gallery on view through March 13, showcases ceramic shaped forms associated with the home – lamps, vases, mirrors. Ruhwald liberates these objects from their utilitarian uses by installing them as individual sculptures – glazed earthenware in a single color appear as stage props or even characters waiting for an audience. Mischievous, playful, allowing the viewer to interact with the object makes a quick trip to Lower Manhattan a fun, worthwhile encounter. http://myartpropspects.com/
