The Denver Art Museum has rarely been as vibrant in one single evening as last weekend's opening for "Marvelous Mud" including the contemporary component "Overthrown: Clay Without Limits." Plus Gallery artists Tsehai Johnson and Brendan Tang are featured in the exhibition and were on hand for the opening to greet fans and bask in the extraordinary textures of this wonderful show.

Johnson's new installation features a clever performance element that plays on the essence of her work as well as the clay medium. You can check out footage from that evening's performance online at
Otherwise, we encourage making a visit to the Museum to absorb the show, it should be a huge crowd pleaser throughout the summer. We also recommend picking up a copy of the catalog that accompanies "Overthrown: Clay Without Limits." The DAM is putting a nice emphasis on their contemporary publications, offering well-designed guides to accompany their historic recent exhibitions.
