Portland, ME - The Maine College of Art & Design proudly announces it's upcoming lecture with talented artist and founder of Matter Factory, Andy Brayman. On Thursday, October 16, at 12:15 p.m. in Osher Hall, Andy Brayman will be coming to MECA&D to discuss his experiences with art, ceramics, and Matter Factory.
Andy Brayman holds a BA in sociology and a BFA in ceramics from the University of Kansas (1996) and an MFA in ceramics from Alfred University (1998). His work is a combination of traditional craft, industrial processes, physical computing and contemporary art strategies. At their best, his pots demonstrate an object’s potential to be both beautiful and cerebral.
In 2005, Andy founded The Matter Factory in Kansas City; part artist studio, part laboratory, and part factory. In addition to producing objects of his design, the company contains a collaborative element. Guest designers and artists are invited to develop objects for production, which might otherwise have trouble finding an eager manufacturer.
