Each travel endorsement is good for one year, or to the ending date of the document, whichever is earlier. Check the signature date on your present document to see if it is still valid.

II. Out of China: Works by Zhu Legeng

The first American exhibit of ceramist and educator Zhu Legung runs through June 7 at the Ann Tower Gallery. Mr. Zhu was recently in Lexington as part of the UK Art Department’s Visiting Artists Program. Despite suffering under Mao’s anti-intellectual Cultural Revolution that began in 1966, he was drawn to working in porcelain. He was one of the first Chinese ceramists to set up his own workshop, studio and kiln in the post-Mao era. “Out of China: Works by Zhu Legeng” contains approximately 40 pieces including the artist's series known as "Tian Ma" or "Heavenly Horses," designed to express the horse's free spirit. Zhu also presents large and medium-scale oxen and several standing figures from his new series, as well as celadon-glazed flat ceramic forms that feature one or two very small equine figures at one end. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sunday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; during Actors Guild performances; and by appointment.
