Artist Talk: Gina Tibbott
2025-01-28 16:00 - 17:00 | Greenwich House Pottery, 16 Jones Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Gina Tibbott
Tuesday, January 28, 2025
In-Person Artist Talk, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Gina Tibbott will give an in-person talk about the project she worked on during her residency at Greenwich House Pottery.
Gina Tibbott is a New York City-based artist whose ceramics practice is informed by her years working as a field archeologist. Other materials like metal, fiber, and wood usually degrade, leaving only the barest of traces, but ceramics can survive thousands of years in harsh conditions to be unearthed almost unchanged. Tibbott draws inspiration from the forms and decorative styles of these time-traveling ceramics.
During her residency, Tibbott used Gisela Richter’s The Craft of Athenian Pottery published in 1923 as a jumping off point to create new work based on ancient forms. When it was first published, this book was notable in the field of archeology for taking a process-based approach to understanding ancient ceramics. To accomplish this task, Richter turned to Maude Robinson, GHP’s director from 1911 to 1941, to provide the technical insight necessary for the book. Thus, Tibbott collaborated not only with ancient Athenian potters through her project, but also with the Pottery’s first director.
The talk is free and open to the public.
No registration necessary.
