Alfred Ceramic Art Museum

#repost @nysmuseums What would it be like to experience an immersive exhibition outside of a museum space? Today’s #MuseumMonday is all virtual! With canceled or postponed exhibitions affecting many museums this year, the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum at Alfred University created Full Capacity, a new, virtual reality exhibition on the Museum’s website. The exhibition features the work of Diedrick Brackens, Lisa Marie Barber, Coco Klockner, and Jeanne Quinn who were invited to ...imagine a virtual space based on their studio practice and created artworks that are completely original and can only be experienced in virtual space. Learn more at the link in our bio. : @alfredceramicartmuseum Image: Ryan Mrozowski’s Shifted Flowers serves as the background for the main entrance to Full Capacity on the museum’s website. Daisies cover a vibrant green background and have translucent copies making a 3D effect. #nysmuseums #membermonday
