signed to be used in curing ceremonies and then aban- doned in the mountains. This set serves to point up the dual · role or the potter of Metepec as creator of ritual arts for indige- nous use and as bu!inessman • concerned with utilitarian and trade arts. The show is unique in that it encompasses the historic. tech- nical. and economi aspc.::ts of the art of a single town. The aesthetics or the tree of life are so central to Metepec that they encompass the entire range of ceramics produced there. Too often folk art exhibits display works in a manner that suggests they are to be admired for their visual impact and ex- otic appeal alone, out of con- text from the environment that gives them [unction and mean- ing McAllister has attempted to circumvent this pitfall by in- cluding audio-visual presenta• tions and statements from the artists of Metepec themselves in her catalogue "The Ceramics of Metepec" is a feast for the eyes and does not ignore the intellect. Gallery hours are 12-5 week- days; 12-8 Wednesdays. For mor mformation call the USD Art Department. 291-6480. -KArHRY ' CAUAHAN-HL~IJfRSON
