🔊 Get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look—and sound—of our upcoming exhibition “Toshiko Takaezu: Worlds Within” with collections manager Marc Thomas. One of Toshiko Takaezu’s signature works was the “closed form,” a ceramic vessel she’d transform into both a sculptural object and an abstract painting. The artist would often drop a small bit of clay inside the sculpture before sealing it, leaving behind the unseen “rattles” heard in the video. Here, Marc “plays” one of her works. → You can also
