This exhibition presents items by seven prominent American artists whose work touches upon sculpture, pictorial art, crafts and installations. A common denominator is a strong relationship with handwork at the same time that their approach to different craft traditions oscillates between esteem and lack of respect. The participating artists are:
Jim Drain, Sabrina Gschwandtner, Elana Herzog, Ian Hundley, Beth Lipman, Nava Lubelski , Beverly Semmes

Presenting the work of approximately twenty-five artists creating significant work using clay, the objects in "Dirt on Delight" will range from modestly scaled pots to installation pieces. Collectively, they suggest clay's appeal as a material to some basic impulses, starting with the delight that comes with building form coupled with the anxiety of completion. They also represent a full spectrum of cultural delineations - fine arts, crafts, outsider practices- to coalesce around the concept of craft itself. Artists include Kathy Butterly, Nicole Cherubini, Luccio Fontana, George Ohr, Ken Price, Sterling Ruby, Betty Woodman.

Beverly Semmes and Ingrid Schaffner's collaborative project for Testsite - takes its title and inspiration from a 1956 collage created by Richard Hamilton. Interested in both investigating and disrupting the expectations surrounding Testsite's domestic space, Schaffner and Semmes have chosen to present 17 photo-collages by Semmes along with the props she used to create these works. The resulting installation-itself a kind of collage-playfully blends the fantastic and the real.
