Virtural Clay: Arlene Shechet, March 8, 2017 @ 4:00pm
Arlene Shechet is a sculptor living and working in New York City and the Hudson Valley.
All at Once, a major, critically-acclaimed 20-year survey of Shechet’s work was on view at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston in 2015. In a review of the exhibition, Sebastian Smee of The Boston Globe wrote: “It’s in the harmonies and tensions between these colors and textures, between suggestions of both order and anarchy, decay and blooming freshness, that these works cough, sputter, and sing. If they really are the great analogs to interior life that I feel them to be, it’s because Shechet knows that this life, expertly attended to, has its own folds and wrinkles, its own hollows and protuberances; that it is at once fugitive and monumental … and ultimately unknowable.” All at Once was also hailed by The New York Times as “some of the most imaginative American sculpture of the past 20 years, and some of the most radically personal.”
In recent years, Shechet’s work has included historical museum installations. Porcelain, No Simple Matter: Arlene Shechet and the Arnhold Collection, on view at The Frick Collection from May 2016 to April 2017, is described in the New Yorker as “a balancing act of respectful and radical” with “whimsical beauty and deep smarts.” From Here on Now, Shechet’s upcoming solo museum exhibition opens at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. in October 2016.
Shechet was featured in season 7 of PBS’s Art 21 in 2014 as well as season 4 of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Artists Project in 2016. She is the recipient of numerous awards including the 2016 CAA Artist Award for Distinguished Body of Work, a John S. Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship Award in 2004, the Anonymous Was a Woman Artist Award and the Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant in 2010, as well as several New York Foundation for the Arts awards.
Shechet’s work is in many distinguished public and private collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center, the National Gallery, the Brooklyn Museum, and the CCS Bard Hessel Museum.

$20,000 Reward Offered in Murder of 8 Year Old Jonah Hwang
The Pomona Police Department and the City of Pomona are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the murder of eight-year-old Jonah Hwang.
On February 20th, 2017 at 6:35 pm, the Pomona Police Department received a 911 call regarding a victim who had been shot at a residence in the 1100 block of W. Eleventh St. Officers arrived and found 8 year-old Jonah Hwang injured by gunfire and unresponsive. L.A. County Fire personnel transported Jonah to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Prior to the shooting, Jonah was with his family inside the home, visiting friends for dinner. The suspect shot at the home from the street in an apparent drive-by shooting.
Detectives continue to follow leads, and believe in a positive outcome for this investigation. Investigators are asking for the public’s assistance in this case and hope that a reward will convince someone with information to come forward.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Det. Luna or Det. Edson from the Pomona Police Department’s Homicide Unit at (909) 620-2095. If you prefer to provide information anonymously, you may call the Police Department’s tip-line at (909)620-2085, “Crime Stoppers” at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or “We-Tip” at 1-800-782-7463.

Georgia teen shot, killed by homeowner after girl sneaks him into house
GROVETOWN, Ga. (KABC) --
A 17-year-old boy was shot and killed by a homeowner in Georgia, who apparently mistook him for an intruder, according to officials.Authorities said the teen, later identified as Jordan Middleton, turned out to be a friend of the homeowner's 14-year-old daughter, who had let him in the house early Saturday morning.
Deputies in Grovetown, Georgia, said the homeowner heard noises and grabbed his gun.
The homeowner told investigators that the family dog led him to a guest bedroom and he called out for the person to identify himself.
According to ABC affiliate WJBF, the homeowner told deputies that the teen tried to run out of a closest and that's when he shot and killed Middleton.
No charges have been filed, but the shooting remains under investigation.
SpaceX plans to send 2 citizens to the moon in 2018
HAWTHORNE, Calif. --
SpaceX plans to send two private citizens to the moon in 2018, the company announced Monday.Two people paid SpaceX to go on the mission, SpaceX top executive Elon Musk said.
SpaceX has had extraordinary success and failure in the last year. Rockets have successfully been launched, then landed safely on drone ships in the last month, alongside a spectacular explosion in September on one of NASA's launch pads.
"Like the Apollo astronauts before them, these individuals will travel into space carrying the hopes and dreams of all humankind, driven by the universal human spirit of exploration," the company said in a news release.
The mission will circumnavigate the moon and return to earth, launching from NASA's historic pad 39A, where the Apollo program sent the first men to the moon.
"Most importantly, we would like to thank NASA, without whom this would not be possible. NASA's Commercial Crew Program, which provided most of the funding for Dragon 2 development, is a key enabler for this mission," the company said.
Tests are slated to begin later this year.
SpaceX will launch its "Crew Dragon" spacecraft to the International Space Station, it announced. The first test will be unmanned.
