<p><span class="fsl">Opening Receptions:<br /> Thursday, April 2nd, 7 – 10pm <br /> Friday, April 3rd, 7-10pm <br /> <br /> Wesley Harvey returns to San Antonio from Red Lodge, Montana, where he recently became the Curator of Exhibitions of the Red Lodge Clay Center, to bring us a new body of work that further examines gay male sexuality and popular culture. By use of appropriation, Harvey creates narratives and collages enveloped by the queer theory on hand-built ceramic sculptures such as, plates, teapots, vessels, and other objects.<br /> <br /> Harvey previously examined his surroundings and personal encounters as the influence for his collaging process. Recently, he has put himself aside and begun looking at others, almost in a voyeuristic way, to find new narra<span class="text_exposed_show">tives. Through the use of personal ads like Craig’s List and other online resources, he finds both the normative and the deviant behaviors that interest him to help create these narratives within the ceramic hand-built forms.<br /> <br /> Harvey received his MFA in ceramics at Texas Tech University, and his BFA in ceramics at Indiana University. <br /> <br /> He currently resides in Red Lodge, Montana.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wesleyharvey.com%2F&h=BAQFJIT0S&enc=AZMIvOaZITLlTccoVDGoPYGvDJLSVZMnBG6u262rE4m6G8fmw3nR-3y1pZgra9diQhE&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">www.wesleyharvey.com</a><br /> <br /> Hello Studio is an artist run gallery and studio space in the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BlueStarArtsComplex" data-gt="{"entity_id":"340868015943786","entity_path":"WebEventPublicProdFeedPermalinkController"}" data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=340868015943786&extragetparams=%7B%22directed_target_id%22%3A0%7D">Blue Star Arts Complex</a>. <br /> <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hellostudiosa.com%2F&h=1AQEb6kHc&enc=AZOlVGwi_PaKXVsaAHNdxM3gZ6cIrPV-xihF7pIhQMAmCE4u7xLpf3L2cjlDj-r0V68&s=1" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">www.hellostudiosa.com</a></span></span></p>
