Artist/Curator Talk | Friday, February 21, 2020 | 4:00 – 5:00 p.m.
Opening Reception | Friday, February 21, 2020 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
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.

Dolores Furtado will give a talk about the work she has been developing during her residency at Greenwich House Pottery.
Dolores Furtado is a 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.
Furtado studied art at the Universidad di Tella. She has been an artist in residence with AIR on Governor’s Island, the Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, and the Pouch Cove Visual Artist Residency. Furtado has also won the Jerome Foundation Fellowship.

Furtado will develop a series of 15 medium-scale ceramic sculptures based on her previous experiments casting paper pulp. This will be her first foray into working with clay. She will make this series by creating molds of her paper sculptures and casting them in clay during her residency at the Pottery.

"Parenting During a Pandemic," A CSP Benefit
2020-05-03 20:30 - 21:30 | NY
For over 30 years, Greenwich House Children’s Safety Project, has been a resource and support for families and children in trauma. On April 22nd, we had planned a key fundraising luncheon to support the critical work of our team of therapists at CSP, caring for vulnerable children and their families. While the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled our fundraising plans, CSP’s work needs to continue as we field referrals and take on new clients, all while working remotely.
We need your help. If you had planned to support the luncheon, please consider making your donation today and join us for a special event.
In lieu of the luncheon Katherine Reynolds Lewis, our friend and speaker from last year, award-winning author of The Good News About Bad Behavior, will host a webinar called From Crisis to Contribution: Parenting During the Pandemic.

At the beginning of the pandemic, families were in survival mode: scrambling to adapt to online learning, working from home, and managing unexpected anxiety and health needs. Now we need more than to survive — we need to thrive. This workshop covers the essential parenting tools for enlisting children in family decisions, household life and routines fundamental to physical and mental health.
Author and parent educator Katherine Reynolds Lewis will share a research-grounded method for moving children from the unstructured, screen-time overload of those early weeks into a more sustainable set of habits — without guilt, yelling or additional stress. Not only will you free up time in your day, your children will develop a sense of purpose that helps build the resilience they’ll need to weather these tough times. This talk covers attuning to children’s emotions, age-appropriate chores, ways to win cooperation, stress management strategies and the mistakes you should avoid when setting up new healthy routines.

Your donation will give you access to the webinar. A link to the webinar will be sent to the email address you provide with your donation.
Please join us on May 3rd at 8:30pm. For those who cannot make that time slot, the webinar will be available for another 5 days online.
