Join sculptors Kitty Ross and Amber Ginsburg at the Smart Museum of Art in Chicago for an in-gallery conversation and walk-through of the exhibition "Ruth Duckworth: Life As A Unity" on January 21, 2024. Led by Ross and Ginsburg, this thought-provoking conversation goes beyond a studio potter attribution to explore Duckworth's work in the broader context of sculpture and her trajectory in Chicago's ceramic community. 

Amber Ginsburg is known for her site-generated projects and social sculptures that bring historical scenarios into present-day situations. Drawing on her background in craft, she examines the continuities and ruptures in material and social histories. Collaborating with experts in fields such as botany, political activism, biology, and science fiction, Ginsburg's work engages multiple communities and imagines alternative futures. She is a professor at the University of Chicago's Department of Visual Arts and has exhibited widely, including at the Thailand Biennale, the Bristol Biennial, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.

Katherine (Kitty) Ross, a Professor Emeritus at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, has a 40-year career teaching ceramics. As the former Chair of the Ceramics Department and Interim Dean of Graduate Studies, Ross brings a wealth of experience to her studio practice. Her approach to ceramics is informed by a material, conceptual, and historical perspective. Ross has received numerous awards and grants for her work, including the Chicago Artists International Program Travel Grant and the Arts Midwest/NEA Grant. She is also a member of the International Academy of Ceramics.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain insight into Ruth Duckworth's legacy in practice. The event will be held at the Smart Museum of Art, located at 5550 S. Greenwood Avenue, Chicago, IL 60637. Admission is free.

There are views of both city skyscrapers and lakes, and you can see Navy Pier, 360-degree views! It&#39;s right next to Michigan Street, so it&#39;s convenient. Food and drinks are available on the observation deck, and there is no time limit for viewing!

小思文

The John Hancock Center is a place you can visit by appointment. Group tours in Chicago generally do not include activities in this place, but you can stop by here when you are traveling on your own to get to know some of the characteristics of American architecture and culture.
