GHP ARTISTS EXHIBITION
Online Opening Reception | Friday, April 8, 2022 | 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Exhibition on view April 8 – 30, 2022

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition recognizing the talented artists who contribute to the Greenwich House Pottery (GHP) community. This exhibition showcases the artistic range of makers, each of whom uses the Pottery’s extensive resources to express their own creative voice in clay. From functional ceramics to sculpture, this exhibition is as diverse and as interesting as the artists themselves.

GHP is the oldest non-profit in the country dedicated to the inquiry and advancement of the ceramic arts. Key to the development of technical skills and innovation, GHP provides an all-encompassing educational program for over a thousand students a year. Artists and students learn from professional faculty and staff proficient in a range of topics from wheel throwing, hand-building, and mold-making to glaze chemistry and slip casting. GHP also hosts workshops and lectures by leading ceramic artists from around the country and offers children the opportunity to work in clay through Greenwich House’s Youth Community Center. The artists in this exhibition represent the continuous achievement, exploration and passion for ceramic arts that GHP has fostered for over 117 years.

Online Artist Talk and Opening with Judd Schiffman
Thursday, March 3, 2022, 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Exhibition on view through March 18, 2022
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present Judd Schiffman’s first solo exhibition in New York City. The work in this show is a selection from his larger series of the same name, in which he uses clay to explore personal narrative, especially as it pertains to rites of passage and fatherhood. Each group of high relief tiles is bound by a ceramic frame, making these compositions appear to be portals or perhaps even religious tableaus. With imagery inspired by illuminated manuscripts, medieval bestiaries, his young daughter’s drawings, and his own inner life, these clay “drawings” are both playful and eerie. Schiffman hopes that this exhibition sparks honest conversations, not necessarily about his work, but because viewers feel more comfortable revealing their inner lives after seeing his.

Online Artist Talk with Eliza Au
Wednesday, January 19, 2022, 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Exhibition on view January 7 through February 4, 2022

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present Eliza Au’s first solo exhibition in New York City. Au’s installation consists of a series of ceramic lattice screens, which use ornament and repetition to reexamine sacred space. She uses computer-aided design (CAD) to create repeated abstract patterns that she translates into clay, constructing forms that evoke architectural units like bricks, tiles, and pillars to inspire a sense of meditative rhythm. The finished ceramic works are a physical manifestation of the computer-based wireframe in which structure and ornament become inseparable. Their composition is so detailed that the negative space defines the work as much as the positive space, creating a compelling duality of form that, along with the structure’s abstract patterning, creates a window into a calmer world.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition curated by Anjuli Wright. A fundamental of ceramics, coil building is used by beginning artists, experienced ceramicists, and all creators in between. This technique, though universal, is a direct reflection of the human hands behind it and consequently intensely unique to each maker. In her curatorial debut, Anjuli invited eleven artists to contribute a coil pot—however each artist personally defined it. The variety of answers to this prompt shows the versatility of the coil pot and the ingenuity of its makers.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Magdolene Dykstra. In the artist’s first solo show in New York City, Dykstra combines raw clay sculpture with works on paper to invoke the sublime and to encourage us to remember the fragility of the natural world of which we are a part. Evocative of the Romantic artists of the nineteenth century who used large-scale landscape paintings to remind viewers of their insignificance when faced with the grandeur of nature, Dykstra uses the microscopic to do the same while also critiquing mass consumerism, and considering the role of the individual within the group.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Magdolene Dykstra. In the artist’s first solo show in New York City, Dykstra combines raw clay sculpture with works on paper to invoke the sublime and to encourage us to remember the fragility of the natural world of which we are a part. Evocative of the Romantic artists of the nineteenth century who used large-scale landscape paintings to remind viewers of their insignificance when faced with the grandeur of nature, Dykstra uses the microscopic to do the same while also critiquing mass consumerism, and considering the role of the individual within the group.

The visual and emotional center of the exhibition is a bulging accumulation of cells composed of raw clay. Each cell is an individual, but a dependent part of the whole, a mass that seems on the brink of failure as it overwhelms its wooden frame. Not unlike humanity, whose desires are quickly exhausting the earth’s natural resources, the unfired clay is in a precarious position, its fragility exposed, and in very real danger.

Where Dykstra uses the building block of life—the cell—to compose her sculptural work, she uses the unique signature of the individual—the fingerprint—in her two-dimensional work. Inspired equally by the Color Field school of painting and cave paintings across the globe, Dykstra uses the repetition of her own finger print to compose the paintings in this exhibition. Built up over months, or even years, these compositions declare over and over again Dykstra’s presence in this world and particularly her presence as an Egyptian-Canadian in a country whose immigration policies favored people of European descent into the 1960s.

Magdolene Dykstra is an Ontario-based artist who combines her background in biology and visual arts to create sculptures, installations, and drawings that consider the human condition. Dykstra earned her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University and MS in education at Niagara University. She has shown her work internationally, including at the Gardiner Museum (Ontario, Canada; 2020), Niagara Artists Center (Ontario, Canada; 2019), Western Colorado Center for the Arts (Grand Junction, CO; 2018) and Page Bond Gallery (Richmond, VA; 2017). She has held residencies at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts (2019) and the Medalta Historic Clay District (2015). Dykstra gratefully acknowledges support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present a collaborative exhibition that seeks to generate fresh perspectives, questions, and engagement with the underrepresented ceramic artist Minnie Negoro (1919–1998). This exhibition brings together, for the first time, new sculpture by Kari Marboe, writing by Sequoia Miller, archival ephemera, and works by Minnie Negoro from the Greenwich House Pottery permanent collection and Mills College Art Museum.

In this exhibition, Marboe and Miller use the historic record to engage with Negoro from their different fields of expertise: Marboe as an artist making response artworks to Negoro’s history, forms, and feminism; and Miller as a studio potter turned art historian writing about her life. Marboe first learned about Negoro while doing research in GHP’s archives during her 2019 residency, and Miller has written about her throughout his career as an art historian. Both were compelled by Negoro’s artistic trajectory—studying at UCLA, being relocated to the Heart Mountain internment camp in Wyoming because of her Japanese heritage, teaching and showing at GHP, showing in MoMA’s famous Good Design exhibition (1950–1951, 1951–1952), and establishing the ceramics program at University of Connecticut. Through this exhibition, Marboe and Miller seek to engage with Negoro through their separate media—clay and writing—to encourage another generation of makers to learn from her work.

Kari Marboe is a Bay Area artist and an Assistant Professor at California College of the Arts. Marboe’s work engages communities with each other and with the past by delving into archives and presenting response works in ceramics, photography, and silkscreened clay. Her research-based ceramic works have been presented at Mills College Art Museum (Oakland, CA; 2019), The Museum of Craft and Design (San Francisco, CA; 2017), and Wave Pool Gallery (Cincinnati, OH; 2016). She has been a resident artist at Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts (Newcastle, ME).

Sequoia Miller is a historian, curator, and studio potter. He holds a PhD in the History of Art from Yale University, and an MA from the Bard Graduate Center for Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture. As a potter, Miller studied at GHP with Michael Simon, Bruce Winn, and Matt Nolen and later joined as faculty from 2011-2012. Miller re-entered academia after more than a decade as a full-time studio potter. His recent curatorial projects include RAW and Ai Weiwei: Unbroken at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto, Canada where he is currently the Chief Curator & Deputy Director.

Film Screening | Thursday, July 15, 2021 | 4:00 p.m.
Second Screening | Wednesday, July 21 | 5:00 p.m.

Greenwich House Pottery is pleased to present a screening of artist Trevor King’s, “Greenwich House Pottery – At a Certain Pace” at the IFC Center in the West Village.
Filmed during November and December, 2020, “At a Certain Pace” observes the endurance and poetry of Greenwich House Pottery and its community. King was a 2020 fellow at GHP. During his fellowship, King filmed daily life at the studio and conducted interviews with staff, students, and other affiliated artists. The result is a sensitive video portrait that serves as a time capsule, capturing the textures, characters, and personality of the pottery in this challenging and defining moment.
Trevor King will give a short introduction prior to the start of the film. Please arrive half an hour early for seating.
This screening is in conjunction with GHP’s Ceramics Now exhibition, on view in the Jane Hartsook Gallery July 9 through August 6, 2021. Read more about the exhibition here.
Tickets are available on a sliding scale from $15 to $50. Proceeds go to the artist and to support the Pottery.

Exhibition on view through August 6, 2021
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present work by our 2020 fellows and artists in residence: Trisha Baga, Dolores Furtado, and Trevor King. The Greenwich House Pottery Residency and Fellowship is a distinguished program that fosters artistic growth by providing artists with a creative community, time, space and materials to explore and generate new bodies of work in ceramics in the center of the art world.

Trisha Baga is a New York-City based artist who works in Stereoscopic 3D video installation, clay, consumer grade electronics, and community performance. For Baga, working in a variety of media is an optimistic metaphor for the power of diversity writ large, as he strives to unearth emotional histories and critically engage with contemporary image culture. During his residency, Baga continued to experiment with throwing on the wheel and developing a series of clay sculptures with embedded electronics.

Dolores Furtado is a New York City-based sculptor who creates work that focuses on materiality. She uses technical research and experimentation to create forms that expose the unique qualities of her materials, and views her sculptures as the documentation of process and action. During her residency, Furtado developed a series of medium-scale ceramic sculptures based on her previous experiments casting paper pulp. This was Furtado’s first foray into working with clay.

Trevor King is a New York City-based multimedia artist. King primarily works in sculpture, preferring materials like clay and plaster that convey a sense of tactility and material memory. He is interested in the endurance of the human spirit and memory, and uses the methods of a documentarian to inform his work in sculpture, sometimes including interviews and personal archives in his work. During his fellowship, King made an impressionistic documentary video that tells the story of Greenwich House Pottery and its community.

Opening Reception | Friday, May 21, 2021 | 5:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Exhibition on view through June 18, 2021
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of teapots from the late Allan Buitekant’s collection. Buitekant was a long-time supporter of Greenwich House Pottery, setting up the Allan Buitekant Fund for Ceramic Art and Inquiry to support GHP’s Residency and Fellowship Program. This collection of handmade teapots represents Buitekant’s years of collecting and his interest in Yixing teapots. Made out of clay from deposits around Lake Tai in China since the 16th century, Yixing teapots are prized for their fine craftsmanship and for the way their clay enhances the flavor of brewed tea. Most collectors brew only a single type of tea in each pot to fully take advantage of this benefit. Buitekant passed away in July 2012, survived by his life partner Joyce Cunningham who has donated this collection in his honor to continue his passion for supporting emerging ceramic artists.

Allan Buitekant was born in the Bronx, New York City in 1933. He was one of a small group of art directors and writers at the Doyle Dane Bernbach agency in New York City who revolutionized advertising in the 1960s and 1970s. In addition to his work in advertising, Buitekant was also a potter and a collector. He studied ceramics in the evenings at Parson’s School of Design, at the 92nd St. Y with Byron Temple, at Greenwich House Pottery with Jim Crumrine, and at the Brooklyn Museum with Jolyn Hofstead. After his illustrious career as an advertising art director in New York City, he retired to North Carolina to pursue his interest in ceramics. Buitekant was also avidly interested in the bonsai tradition, and was a student of the great bonsai master, Yuji Yoshimura. His collection of bonsai currently resides at The New York Botanical Garden.

All pieces are available for sale to benefit Greenwich House Pottery.

Online Opening Reception | Friday, April 16, 2021 | 5:00 p.m.
Exhibition on view April 9 – 30, 2021
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition recognizing the distinguished artists who contribute to the Greenwich House Pottery community. This exhibition showcases the artistic range of GHP’s makers, each of whom uses the Pottery’s extensive resources to express their own creative voice in clay. This year’s exhibition will be particularly unique, as it brings together work made by our community during a full year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Work in this exhibition was made at kitchen counters and living rooms, as well as the GHP studios, while our clay community navigated this difficult, socially-distanced year virtually and in-person.
GHP is the oldest non-profit in the country dedicated to the inquiry and advancement of the ceramic arts. Key to the development of technical skills and innovation, GHP provides an all-encompassing educational program for over 1260 students in a typical year. Artists and students learn from professional faculty and staff proficient in a range of topics from wheel throwing, hand-building and mold-making to glaze chemistry and slip casting. GHP also hosts workshops and lectures by leading ceramic artists from around the country as well as offering teens and children the opportunity to work in clay through Greenwich House’s Afterschool Program. The artists in this exhibition represent the continuous achievement, exploration and passion for ceramic arts that GHP has fostered for over 117 years.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present Taili Wu’s New York City solo-show debut, Where is the Bike Shop? In her art practice, Wu brings a fresh eye to daily life, sculpting in a whimsical style that is influenced by her work in animation and computer art. In this body of work, she brings an array of “bike people” together from around the world. Originally inspired by the goose farmer, ice cream man, and maltose vendor of her childhood—all of whom got around by bicycle—Wu has included bike people and stories from India to the United States in this show.
Taili Wu was born in Taichung, Taiwan and is currently based out of New York. She earned her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in computer art and her BFA from Taipei Municipal University of Education in art education and education. She works in ceramics, stop-motion animation, and mixed media. Wu’s short films have been shown at Slamdance Film Festival (CA; 2010) and the International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animated Film (Germany; 2009), among others. Her ceramic work has been shown at Creators Space (St. Paul, MN; 2019); EarthworksNYC (New York, NY; 2019) and Kolva-Sullivan Gallery (Spokane, WA; 2018), among others. Wu was an artist in residence at Archie Bray Foundation (Helena, MT) in 2018.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present Kate Robert’s first solo exhibition in New York City. In her art practice, Roberts uses the decay of specific objects, architecture, or relationships to meditate on the passage of time. In this new body of work, she widens her lens, considering the massive destruction caused by forest fires that blazed across Oregon and much of the West Coast in 2020, the effects of which rippled out as far as the East Coast and Europe. Using clay dust to “paint” on transparent fabric, Roberts recreates the smoked-out landscapes left behind by the raging fires. Through skillful, time-consuming work, Roberts crafts the results of swift devastation wrought by the decay of environmental stewardship.
Kate Roberts is from Greenville, South Carolina. She earned her MFA and BFA from Alfred University in ceramics, with minors in art education and art history. Roberts’s work has been shown nationally in museums such as the Tampa Museum of Art (Florida; 2011) and the Everson Museum of Art (Syracuse, NY; 2006), and in major exhibitions such as Scripps College 69th Ceramic Annual (Claremont, CA; 2013) and Ceramic Top 40, shown at Red Star Studio (Kansas City, MO; 2013) and Ceramics Program, Office of the Arts at Harvard (Allston, MA; 2014). She has held residencies nationally and internationally, including at Project Art (Cummington, MA; 2012), Anderson Ranch Arts Center (Snowmass, CO; 2011), and Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris, France; 2011). Roberts has also taught extensively, including at University of Wisconsin–Madison and the University of Washington in Seattle. Currently, she is Assistant Professor at the University of Memphis in Tennessee.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present Didem Mert’s first solo exhibition in New York City. In this new body of work, Mert emphasizes the “fun” of ceramics by playing with basic pottery skills to reimagine vessel forms in ways that express her personality. The distinctive surfaces Mert achieves are heavily influenced by her early exposure to woodworking. As the daughter of a woodworker, Mert grew up paying special attention to surface texture and finish, a focus that carries through in her careful mark-making and selection of terra sigillata and glazes. Even the bright pops of color in her work mirror the woodshop, echoing the bright warning colors of heavy equipment, though rather than danger these tones warn of impending FUN!
Didem Mert is a San Francisco-based artist where she is also the Education Director of Clay by the Bay. Mert was born and raised in Cincinnati, OH. She earned her MFA from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and her BFA from Northern Kentucky University. Mert has shown her work nationally, including at: The Kiln Studio (Fairhope, AL; 2019), Clay AKAR (Iowa City, IA; 2018), The Clay Studio (Philadelphia, PA; 2017), Companion Gallery (Humboldt, TN; 2016), and Erie Art Museum (Erie, PA; 2015), among others.

Exhibition on view through March 20, 2020
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Jennifer Rochlin, curated by Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy. Aptly titled Clay Is Just Thick Paint after a quotation from artist Peter Voulkos, this exhibition argues for the equality of clay and paint as artistic materials. Trained as a painter, Rochlin began working with clay in 2007 and now exclusively works with the medium. This exhibition features ten of her hand-built pots and reliefs, each of which tells a story about love, lust or longing.
Rochlin’s pots and reliefs highlight her interest in storytelling and the human body. The former are metaphors for the body, each having its own lumps and imperfections. Every piece in this exhibition is a memory embodied. Rochlin covers her pots’ surfaces with vignettes whose painterly quality alludes to the way impressions often take precedent over details in our recollections. As viewers experience the pots in the round, they encounter scenes unbound by chronological order, just as personal memories often arise out of sequence. Even Rochlin’s construction methods connect to storytelling; the pinches and pokes she uses to give her pots form mirror the hand gestures storytellers use to punctuate their narratives.
Jennifer Rochlin (born 1968 in Baltimore, MD) is a Los Angeles-based artist working in ceramics and painting. She has had solo exhibitions at Geary Contemporary (New York, NY; 2019), Lefebvre & Fils (Paris, France; 2018), The Pit (Los Angeles, CA; 2018) and Black Dragon Society (Los Angeles, CA; 2007). Rochlin’s work has been featured in numerous group and two-person shows such as Paintings and Pots, The Green Gallery (Milwaukee, WI; 2018); Jennifer Rochlin/Gene Moreno, Institute of Visual Arts, University of Milwaukee (WI; 2007); Home Show, Revisited, Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum (CA; 2011), Open Daybook, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (CA; 2011); MKE-LAX, Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (WI; 2012); Venice Beach Biennial, in conjunction with Made in LA, Hammer Museum (Los Angeles, CA; 2012) and Sculptures, 356 Mission (Los Angeles, CA; 2013). Rochlin is the recipient of the Individual Artist Grant from the Belle Foundation (2015) and the Durfee Foundation ARC Grant (2007) and has had residencies at Lefebvre & Fils (Versailles, France; 2018) and Civitella Ranieri (Umbria, Italy; 2019).
Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy (born 1992 in San Juan, Puerto Rico) is a New York-based curator, writer and arts administrator focusing on contemporary art and craft, with an emphasis on ceramics. She serves as Assistant Curator at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD), New York. Since 2016, she has been part of MAD’s curatorial team, helping to organize over nineteen exhibitions and installations. She also manages MAD’s Burke Prize, a contemporary craft award, and curates its accompanying exhibition. She is a 2020 Curatorial Fellow at the Center for Craft (Asheville, NC), where she is curating Sleight of Hand, a group show of ceramics that demonstrate the power of humor as a tool of resistance, resilience and healing. She holds an MA from the Bard Graduate Center in Decorative Arts, Design History & Material Culture and a BA in Art History from the University of Florida, with minors in Anthropology and Ceramics.

Jennifer Rochlin and Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy will be giving an artist talk from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. on February 21 before the opening reception. Please register to reserve your seat for the talk. The talk is free and open to the public.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present Carly Slade’s first solo exhibition in New York City. Slade constructs buildings skewed by two-point perspective to tell universal stories about the way architecture communicates our hopes and lived experiences. In this exhibition, Slade has created three buildings from her former neighborhood in Philadelphia. Driving by these buildings on her way to and from her studio, she observed not only the buildings’ day-to-day changes, but also the residue of their deeper history: new signs, new paint jobs, a once-beautiful lintel in disrepair. Each of these buildings embodies what Slade grew to love and admire about Philadelphia—a sense of hope, dedication, and a “make it work” mentality.
Slade uses trade and craft skills to construct miniaturized buildings whose smaller scale invites us to think critically about how we communicate our identities through architecture and who we envision in certain spaces. Having worked in construction for ten years, Slade is highly attuned to the craftsmanship of a building’s construction and is accustomed to the way many men in that field made clear that they didn’t think she belonged there. She is skeptical of the divide between craft skills and trade skills; she sees as much knowledge and skill in a well-positioned pipe as in any craftwork. Just as Slade questions the distinction between trade and craft skills, she also questions the way spaces and skills are gendered. By combining skills that have been identified in the past as being exclusively “women’s” or “men’s” work, like cross-stitch or electrical wiring, to create her finished buildings, Slade calls out a host of false dichotomies.
Carly Slade is an artist based in Tempe, AZ. She earned her MFA from San Jose State University and her BFA from Alberta College of Art and Design. Slade has been a resident artist at the Tyler School of Art (Philadelphia, PA; 2017–2019), Lawrence Arts Center (Lawrence, KS; 2016–2017), Archie Bray Foundation (Helena, MT; 2016), Medalta (Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada; 2012), and Watershed Center for the Arts (Newcastle, ME; 2011). Slade has shown her work throughout the United States, including at: Johnathan LeVine Projects (Jersey City, NJ; 2018), The Clay Studio; (Philadelphia, PA; 2018), Arch Enemy Gallery (Philadelphia, PA; 2017), and the American Museum of Ceramic Art (Pomona, CA; 2016). This will be her first exhibition in New York City. Slade is from Alberta, Canada and is currently an instructor at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ.

In-Between Moments, Janice Jakielski

Opening Reception | Friday, November 22, 2019 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Exhibition on view through December 20, 2019
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Janice Jakielski. Jakielski marries modern industrial technology with historic ceramic forms to create beautiful objects that provide a moment of pause in an overwhelming world. Jakielski uses industrial casting methods to create paper-thin sheets of porcelain that she layers, folds, and curls to reimagine historic vessels from Europe and Asia. She reinvents these vessels without their interior volume, flattening them into outlines of their previous forms. By removing their function and playfully recreating these vessels in impossibly thin porcelain, Jakielski encourages the viewer to stop and take a closer look.
Like the Sèvres porcelain factory in its day, whose work she often references, Jakielski is at the forefront of technical and artistic innovation. In 18th century France innovation meant finally being able to make porcelain vessels—Europe lagged far behind China in understanding this technology—and recreating famous European paintings on those porcelain surfaces. For Jakielski it means adapting industrial methods used to make computer components to create a type of porcelain clay body that behaves like no other and taking inspiration from multiple craft disciplines to achieve her final forms. Where the makers at Sèvres drew inspiration from painting, Jakielski uses skills more often employed with fiber and paper crafts like embroidery and paper filigree to complete her designs.
Jakielski is an artist based out of Sutton, Massachusetts. She received an MFA in ceramics from University of Colorado, Boulder and her BFA at Alfred University. She is currently an adjunct faculty member at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She has shown her work across the United States, including at Wayne Art Center (Wayne, PA; 2018), Peters Projects (Santa Fe, NM; 2018), Racine Art Museum, (Racine, WI; 2016), and Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (Houston, TX; 2013). Jakielski has been an artist in residence at Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts (Helena, MT; 2019), and Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts (Gatlinburg, TN; 2015), among others. She was awarded the Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship and the Society of Arts and Crafts Artist Award.
