Time at the Table is a collaborative exhibition that features the work of Dodd undergraduates, Alan Barret and Athen-based artists Massie Herlihy and Alex Barret. An intersection of performance, installation, ceramics, and photographs, in this installation the artists hope to bring a better understanding of what it means to pursue and use ceramics in the ritual of our daily lives. Barret and Herlihy worked together to create a set of dishes that activated the performance, a dinner that was photographed by Barret. By bringing the table and place-setting into the gallery, the artists highlight the collaborative aspects of both pottery and the nature of friendship, so often forged at countless meals at the table and throughout our lives.
