An exhibition of the ceramic work of Dan Engelke, John Goodheart, Dick Hay, and David Herrold opens at the Richard E. Peeler Art Center at DePauw University on February 2, 2005.

During the 1970s, an exhibition titled Indiana Ceramics opened at DePauw University's Emison Art Center, and featured the work of four promising young ceramists: Dan Engelke, John Goodheart, Dick Hay and David Herrold. In 1975, David Herrold, Professor of Art at DePauw, organized an exhibition called Indiana Low Temperature, one that served as an introduction to the work of the four artists at an early point in their respective careers. At the original show the group presented a gallery talk about the unusual, and sometimes controversial, imagery they used, and also speculated about where they thought the ceramics medium was heading.

As they approach retirement from their appointments at Indiana universities, they bring their work together to reflect on the evolution of their ceramic practices over the intervening years. Engelke, Goodheart, Hay, and Herrold: Revisited will trace the trajectory of their development as ceramists through the inclusion of photographs of their early work from the 1970s, as well a selection of the ceramic objects they currently create.

Engelke, Goodheart, Hay, and Herrold: Revisited may be visited through March 6, 2005, and is free and open to the public.
