“With all I know about glaze formulation (have you done the dreaded triaxial glaze blend?), the idea of color theory in relation to glaze is perplexing. Does glaze not have its own theory, its own organizing principle, its own alluring alchemy? Is the science, and the madness, and the messiness, and the level of control one wrests or concedes to clay and its surfaces not a kind of practice unique to clay and pursued unto itself by so many clay freaks? Consider that one of many questions Color/Form: Color Theory and the Art of Ceramics proposes, and keep asking.“

Review: Humor and human clay meld in 'The Incongruous Body' at AMOCA

Publication - Los Angles Times
Article by - Leah Ollman
August 25, 2018

“If there was any question about the connection between the material of the self — human clay — and the stuff of sculpture, Robert Arneson’s 1988 work on paper, "Head Wedged," makes the relationship clear. The ferociously funny Funkmeister renders himself in terracotta hues, scrunching his chin with one hand and reaching his opposite arm overhead to press against his temple. He's doing to himself what ceramic artists do to raw clay, knead it — wedge it — to get the air bubbles out and make the substance more pliable.”

An Interview With Artists Tim Berg And Rebekah Myers

Publication - Riot Material ART. WORD. THOUGHT.
Article by - Christopher Michno
January 25, 2018

"Tim Berg and Rebekah Myers work collaboratively to produce objects that are sensually appealing and refer to advertising, design, and glossy consumer products. Their work is intentionally ambiguous, mining objects for their capacity to mean different things to different people; and in this way, it operates both within a specific narrative, and as work about the nature of how we construct meaning. This Way Lies Madness (2018), their latest, a neon sign made for “Manifesto: A Moderate Proposal,” the exhibition at the Pitzer College Lenzner Family Gallery through March 29, adopts a line from King Lear. The sign reads “This Way Lies Madness Lies” and is shaped in a continuous circle. In a conversation in their Claremont studio, Myers and Berg discussed Madness, manifestos, and making objects that create space for dialog."...

"A giant ice cream bar juxtaposed against a wooden stick licked clean of its frozen goodness will whet the appetites of collectors at this year’s Art Southampton. The glossy white sculpture, Now You See It..., by the duo of Tim Berg and Rebekah Myers and exhibited by Miami Beach’s Dean Project, nods to the age of Snapchat and the ephemerality of an art fair."

"On the Bright Side ...," the first exhibition in Iowa of works by California artists Tim Berg and Rebekah Myers, explores the way consumerism and branding tug on individuals' heartstrings. Their sculptures, smooth-surfaced and candy-colored, may provoke gallery visitors' senses of conservation and kleptomania in equal measure.
