𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆!

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆! Join us to celebrate 𝗦𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗞𝗼𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗶𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 on September 9th, 2023 at 𝗜𝗖𝗔 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗗𝗶𝗲𝗴𝗼 / 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴, offers a meditation on the ICA’s ongoing exploration of consumption, inviting us to consider the multiple definitions of the word. “To consume” can mean both to nourish and destroy; we can consume–or be consumed–emotionally or physically. The ceramic process itself is one of transformation via consumption by fire, a process that resonates with a central theme of this exhibition: the intimate connection between life and death, and the generative potential that accompanies destruction. Though grounded in mortality, in Reibstein’s work, the cyclical nature of life offers opportunities for growth, renewal, and deep connection across time.
