Person Place Thing with Randy Cohen
2024-09-19 19:00 | NY
Featuring Latin Grammy-award winning artist and 2024 Uncharted alum, Mireya Ramos!
Person Place Thing is an interview show based on the idea that people are especially engaging when they speak, not directly about themselves, but something they care about. Guests talk about one person, one place, and one thing with particular meaning to them.
Randy Cohen’s first professional work was writing humor pieces, essays, and stories for newspapers and magazines (The New Yorker, Harpers, the Atlantic, Young Love Comics). His first television work was writing for “Late Night With David Letterman” for which he won three Emmy awards. His fourth Emmy was for his work on Michael Moore’s “TV Nation.” He received a fifth Emmy as a result of a clerical error, and he kept it. For twelve years he wrote “The Ethicist,” a weekly column for the New York Times Magazine. He is currently the creator and host of Person Place Thing, a public radio program.

Mireya Ramos is a New York-based Latin Grammy-winning (and multiple Latin Grammy and Grammy-nominated) vocalist, musician, composer, producer, arranger and founder of Flor de Toloache – New York’s only all women mariachi. Ramos embodies all of her musical influences whether classical, mariachi, salsa, merengue, or hip-hop, always creating a unique and refreshing sound. Her versatility, natural improvisational skills and beautiful tone has made her one of the top Latin artists in New York City. Her latest album, Sin Fronteras, recorded in Kansas City in collaboration with over twenty-five musicians and a fusion of Americana, country, and Rancheras was a true testament to the innovations and the creative freedom she expresses.

See/Saw, Collaborative Play by Ruth Easterbrook and Kevin Snipes
September 20 – October 25, 2024
Opening Reception | Thursday, September 19, 2024 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of individual and collaborative work by Kevin Snipes and Ruth Easterbrook. In this exhibition, the artists explore the interplay between form and narrative by combining Easterbrook’s mastery of form and lush, tapestry-inspired glazes with Snipes’ visually complex and compelling narratives in joyfully experimental ways. This exhibition marks the first time this unique collection of collaborative work will be shown.
Snipes and Easterbrook’s collaboration began with a playful moment, when Snipes was inspired to use a postcard of Easterbrook’s work in a collage. Easterbrook and Snipes began creating ceramic forms and exchanging them, each adding a surface to the other’s form. Facilitated by the proximity of their studios—both artists are at The Clay Studio in Philadelphia—their ideas, forms, and surfaces “ping-ponged” back and forth, with each finished work being the result of a call and response between the artists. This process necessarily required improvisation, which gave both artists new perspectives about their work.
Ruth Easterbrook is an artist based out of Philadelphia. She earned her MFA from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and her BFA from Syracuse University. She has shown her work across the United States, including at Market House Craft Center (Lancaster, PA; 2020), Charlie Cummings Gallery (Gainesville, FL; 2020), and Red Lodge Clay Center (Red Lodge, MT; 2019). She has held residencies at the Harvard Ceramics Program, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and The Clay Studio in Philadelphia, and was honored as an Emerging Artist by the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts in 2020.
Kevin Snipes is an artist based out of Philadelphia. He studied ceramics at the University of Florida and earned his BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art. He has shown his work across the United States, including at Harvey Preston Gallery (Aspen, CO; 2021), The Clay Studio (Philadelphia, PA; 2021), and Wesleyan College (Macon, GA; 2020). He has held numerous artist residencies, including at the Archie Bray Foundation, the American Museum of Ceramic Art, and the Northern Clay Center.
