CLEAN INGREDIENTS: "The Shape of Time: Korean Art after 1989" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art features 28 artists exploring South Korea's cultural transformation since 1989, with highlights such as Meekyoung Shin’s soap sculptures that dissolve over time, symbolizing the fragility of life and cultural evolution and which invites reflection on the impermanence of existence.

On behalf of the Johnson Atelier and our stellar partners: You are invited to join us for the inaugural evening social celebrating Codaworx during Codasummit 2023. This promises to be an evening of libations, conversations, connection, and reflection, plus time for a whirl and a twirl.

Rising forty feet high and eliciting many interpretations, Big Bling is Puryear’s largest temporary outdoor sculpture to date. The colossal multi-tiered wood structure is wrapped in chain-link fence and anchored with a gold-leafed shackle near the top.

A cast made by the Atelier in 1994 to repair a Doughboy in Fair Haven "lended a hand" and ensured that the damaged left hand and rifle of the Belmar Doughboy would be properly restored.

This englargement of fabricated and cast natural objects weaves a complex composition focusing on the dichotomy of motion and stillness.

THE BEAR IS ALIVE: "Stuffed Bear (Precious)" is part of a series of completely custom animatronic bears covered in faux fur details. The bears' eyes move and their chests articulate to simulate realistic breathing.
