Let’s Glow showcases the work of Cambridge-based art and design duo Marc Ngui and Magda Wojtyra. The exhibit is on view through March 4, 2012.

Gasoline Alley and Other Sunday Dreams by Clint Neufeld
Saskatoon-area artist Clint Neufeld has a grease monkey’s appreciation for muscle cars, but he also replicates the components of engines, transmissions and axles in ceramic. His delicate sculptures, finished and displayed like fine china, ask viewers to consider men’s garage “tinkering” in terms of aesthetics, transformation—even love. Neufeld, a rising star on the Canadian art scene, had solo exhibitions in public art galleries across the country in 2011. Organized by Associate Curator Jen Budney, this is Neufeld’s first solo exhibition at the Mendel.

Kesu': The Art and Life of Doug Cranmer

Visions of Enlightenment: Buddhist Art at MOA
Works in the exhibit focus on basic Buddhist concepts and images, and reflect the purpose of Buddhist art: illuminating the variety of rituals, religious texts, and beliefs generated over time, culture, and geography. They offer a window into Buddhist philosophy, aesthetics and values, in a marriage of beauty and meaning. They provide the devotee and viewer both consistency in the forms of Buddhist art, and a vast array of subtle and obvious differences.
