Funk You Too! Contemporary Ceramics and the Legacy of Funk Art

"Funk You Too!" will bring together over sixty-five ceramic sculptures from historical and contemporary artists whose work embodies the themes and aesthetics of Funk art. Blurring the line between past and present, this exhibition seeks to bridge the gap in our understanding of the connection between historical Funk ceramics and contemporary sculpture that convey personal and political narratives humorously, subversively, and expressively.
