The James Renwick Alliance is an independent national (U.S.A.) nonprofit organisation dedicated to advancing scholarship and education on contemporary American craft, to supporting activities directed toward this purpose, and to encouraging connoisseurship and collecting. The Alliance assists the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in adding to its permanent collection of American craft of artistic significance and superior workmanship, supports scholarly research in contemporary American craft, sponsors public educational activities, and pursues other activities in support of the studio craft movement.
_Between Form and Space_ is an exhibition of work by Claire Muckian and Evelina Wojtowicz, Visual Artists who work with ceramics and other media. Their practice falls within the context of ceramic sculpture.
For this exhibition Claire and Evelina will work with a wide range of media including ceramics, glass, metal, drawings, print-work and textiles. They will engage with and respond to the various media used and with the exhibition space resulting in an experimental, fascinating and cohesive body of work.
_Beyond Form and Space_ is a suitable title for the exhibition as it encompasses both the artwork and the space, having regard to the objects themselves and the context in which they are placed.
The underscores used in the exhibition's title _Between Form and Space_ act as agents to highlight the idea of the interval between the form of the pieces and the integral and surrounding space.
