Ceramics Now
Kelly Chang, Ray Farmer,
Meiasha Gray, Heidi Lau
July 8 – Aug 19, 2022
Reception: July 21, 2022 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present work by our 2021 fellows and artists in residence: Kelly Chang, Rachel Farmer, Meiasha Gray, and Heidi Lau. Our Residency and Fellowship program fosters artistic growth by providing makers with a creative community, time, space and materials to explore and generate new bodies of work in ceramics in vibrant New York City.

Kelly Chang is a New York City-based art director, animator, and designer, who is developing his art practice in clay. Using his background in computer graphics and 3D modeling and animation, Chang employs 3D printing and scanning, photography, and computer simulation to create his slipcast ceramic sculptures. During his residency, Chang continued to develop a project that considers the replica and its value, or lack thereof. In this series, he reimagines the trash, plastic, and electronics of our current era as valuable artifacts found in the distant future.

Ray Farmer is an artist who uses ceramics and quilts to re-examine histories that get passed down through families, institutions, and pop culture—such as the mythology of the American West, and the artist’s own Mormon pioneer ancestry—with a queer, feminist bent. During their fellowship, Farmer developed a body of work that featured miniature sculptures of pioneer women in action in diorama-like scenes that question the dominant narratives of the American West.

Meiasha Gray is a New York City-based artist who works in ceramics and performance art. In her work, Gray is interested in the ephemeral—one of the reasons she is drawn to clay as a material given its ability to preserve momentary gestures—and in the domestication of space. During her fellowship, Gray furthered a body of work that integrates other media, including photographs, into her clay practice. She investigated the relationship between people and objects and made several life-sized sculptures based on her memories and family photographs.

Heidi Lau is a New York City-based artist who grew up in Macau. Lau works in paper and ceramic to do research-based work that explores nostalgia, memory, and the creation of history. Taoist cosmology influences much of Lau’s work, as do folk superstitions and Macau’s colonial past. Lau is particularly interested in burial chambers as a transitional space in which a body teeters between personhood and objecthood. During this fellowship, Lau made a series of large-scale sculptural fountains inspired by the mausoleum of Emperor Qin Shi Huang (259 – 210 B.C.) in Xian, China.

dannIGeeLIVE with Karine Plantadit & Monique Martin
2022-07-14 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
dannIGeeLIVE with Karine Plantadit & Monique Martin
Thursday, July 14, 2022
7 pm event/doors 6 pm
Tickets are $10 at the door.
Wine Reception to follow.
Danni Gee is the host of the weekly Instagram series, dannIGeeLIVE, where she livestreams from her living room, conversations with artists and educators across disciplines and genres. She created the DIY series in April 2020, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic as a way to support her artistic community. And now, for the first time ever, she is hosting her show with a live, in-person audience at The Greenwich House Music School where she’ll be joined by independent producer and curator, Monique Martin, and leading modern dancer and Tony-nominated artist, Karine Plantadit.

Danni Gee has over 35 years of experience in the Arts and Entertainment industry. She has performed as a principal dancer with PHILADANCO! The Philadelphia Dance Company, and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and as a vocalist, she has performed with artists such as Kathy Sledge, of Sister Sledge, Gloria Gaynor, and Cher, as well with her own indie rock band, Suga Bush. Danni returned to dance in 2006 when she accepted the position of Dance Curator for City Parks Foundation SummerStage, New York’s largest, free outdoor festival. Over the years, she has engaged and commissioned such established companies as Parsons Dance, Dance Brazil, Kibbutz Contemporary Company, Ballet Hispanico, Martha Graham Dance Company, Complexions Contemporary Ballet, Camille A. Brown & Dancers, A.I.M by Kyle Abraham, Alonzo King LINES Ballet, and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Along with providing performance opportunities for many emerging choreographers and companies, she has also successfully presented several special theatrical evenings including Notes of a Native Song featuring Stew and the Negro Problem; the 45th Anniversary Celebration of the hit Broadway show, The Wiz; a concert version of Fela! The Musical; and the 20th anniversary of HBO’s Def Poetry Jam. This year, Danni will be celebrating her 15th season with SummerStage by presenting a roster that highlights BIPOC women leaders in dance.
Karine Plantadit is a dancer and performer. She was born in France and raised in Cameroon. She moved to Cannes at age 14 to study dance. She subsequently moved to New York City to study dance at the school of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, after seeing them perform in Paris, eventually joining the premiere company and becoming one of its most celebrated dancers.
Since leaving Ailey, Karine has found much success in theater and film. She was part of the original cast of The Lion King, lit the great white way on fire with her star turn in Twyla Tharp’s Movin’ Out, and was nominated for a Tony Award in the category of Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of the role “Kate” in the musical Come Fly Away. Along with her many Broadway credits, including featured roles in the musicals Saturday Night Fever and After Midnight, she has appeared in numerous tv shows and films, namely So You Think You Can Dance, Sex and the City, and alongside Salma Hayek on the big screen in Frida.
She is currently a senior judge and instructor for the renowned Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) dance organization and an internationally certified yoga instructor and life coach, regularly making guest speaking appearances and instructing at some of the most prominent and prestigious dance schools and yoga studios around the world. And with her 20-plus years of experience in the Broadway and dance community as an artist, and because she knows the demands of this level of performance, she recently created the Conscious Comeback Program to meet the needs of the community in this unique time and use her connection with yoga, meditation, and healing practices to help artists, including the cast of Hamilton and the dancers of Alvin Ailey, enhance their performance and reach their highest potential in their long-awaited return to the stage.
As a propagator of art, culture and ideas, Monique Martin brings her passion and experience in community building through the arts to elevate and instigate. An independent creative producer, artist, curator, and marketing consultant, she has partnered with and produced for Joe’s Pub, Disney Theatricals, The Apollo Theater, The New Victory Theater, Southbank Centre/UK, The MET Museum, Park Avenue Armory, NJPAC, Queens Theater in the Park, and HBO.
As Programming Director for the River2River Festival, SummerStage and Harlem Stage, she expanded the curatorial breadth by including contemporary circus, and international artists. She is an experienced commissioner of new work, working closely with artists from ideation to successful premier. She is an ardent facilitator of collaborations across cultures, sectors, and genres, and has partnered with cultural consulates and embassies from around the globe.
She is currently focusing her work on New York City’s continued re-opening, supporting artists and arts organizations in presenting outdoor, virtual and hybrid arts, and making her first contemporary circus.

Sam Reider "Petrichor" NYC Release Concert
2022-07-22 20:00 - 22:00 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Join pianist, accordionist, and composer Sam Reider for an intimate solo performance and the NYC release celebration for his new record Petrichor on Friday, July 22.
Tickets are $15.
Doors: 7:30 p.m.
Concert: 8:00 p.m.

Slow & Steady Records announces the release of pianist-composer Sam Reider’s first solo piano recording Petrichor. The eight original compositions form a musical reflection on Reider’s recent homecoming to San Francisco after ten years in New York. “Hiking the foggy coastline, climbing through redwood forests up to alpine lakes, I felt rejuvenated to be back home, in touch with a part of myself that had laid dormant,” says Reider. “ I sought to capture the grandeur, intimacy and nostalgia of the landscape I grew up with.”
Petrichor was recorded in August, 2021 at SandBox, a brand new performing arts venue in Sand City, CA that’s run by cellist Michelle Djokic. In fact, Reider first discovered the space (and its 1917 Steinway) while quarantining in the Monterey area during the pandemic, and was immediately enamored with its sound. Two months later, Reider was back at the SandBox, having written and workshopped his new music. This time, he was accompanied by engineers and co-producers Jacob Blumberg (who grew up with Reider in the Bay Area) and Jon Seale (of Mason Jar Music) with the intention of “capturing the vibe of Michelle’s space,” as Reider puts it.
The word “petrichor” means the fresh smell of the earth after a first rain. “It felt like a potent metaphor for me in many ways,” says Reider. “My homecoming to San Francisco after many years living on the East Coast, the ongoing drought in California, which is punctuated by occasional rains, and the first glimmers of hope in the midst of the pandemic.” Driven by Reider’s gifted sense of melodicism, playful song forms, odd (and standard) time meters, and a reverence of the solo piano tradition, Petrichor embodies the many paths and paces of life, which often lead us home again.

Bryant Park Picnic Performances
Greenwich House Music School:
Mireya & Alea
Friday, August 5 at 7 p.m.
First-Come, First-Served Entry
All Bryant Park Picnic Performances Are FREE
Bryant Park Picnic Performances presented by Bank of America continues on August 5 with Mireya and Alea, both alumni of Uncharted, Greenwich House Music School‘s ongoing performance series devoted to emerging New York City-based artists. Mireya is a Latin Grammy-winner and founder of the renowned all-women mariachi group Flor de Toloache; Colombian singer-songwriter Alea impressed fans and critics alike with her 2021 album Alborotá, shortlisted by Rolling Stone and NPR on their end-of-year Latin Music lists.
Attendees may bring their own food or purchase from on-site food and beverage vendors near the Lawn. At most performances, attendees can purchase food from a rotating line-up of local NYC vendors curated by Hester Street Fair. COVID-19 vaccinations and masks are not currently required but Bryant Park will continue to monitor and follow updated New York City and New York State COVID-19 guidelines throughout the summer as necessary.
The 2022 Picnic Performances season is possible due to the generous support of Bank of America. “Bank of America is a long-standing supporter of the arts because we believe that a thriving arts and cultural community benefits both society and the economy,” said José Tavarez, President, Bank of America New York City. “So we are thrilled to once again sponsor Picnic Performances and combine our commitment to the arts with our partnership with Bryant Park. Together we’re helping New York City’s iconic cultural scene to thrive, while promoting green spaces and providing free access to live New York City music, dance and theater.”

For more information about the series, artist interviews, photos of performers and the park, or to arrange for on-site photography or press passes, please contact John Seroff at GreenHouse Publicity by replying to this email or at John@GreenHousePublicity.com
Mireya is a New York-based, Latin Grammy-winning vocalist, violinist, composer, arranger and founder of Flor de Toloache – NYC’s first and only all-women mariachi. Born in California to proud Dominican and Mexican parents, Mireya was raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico until moving to NYC in her teens to pursue her musical career. Her aura embodies a wide variety of musical influences: from mariachi, salsa to merengue, hip-hop, she weaves a unique and refreshing musical blend. Classically trained by Suzuki method, and having had orchestral experience at University, her passion is strongest for folklore as well as other alternative genres. She believes in sharing her skills, encouraging and inspiring the next generation to successfully pursue their dreams through educational workshops and school performances all around the country.
With a welcoming sound that embraces cumbia, vallenato, rancheras, jazz and American pop, the singer-songwriter Maria Alejandra Jiménez aka Alea moves her audiences with messages of the spirit, calls for social change and free-flowing love. Originally from La Guajira, Colombia, Alea’s performance encompasses an entire generation of ethno-futuristic and folkloric music accentuated by buttery vocals, deep-rooted grooves and uplifting guitar. Alea’s in-person performances are powerful encounters of the spirit, passionate travelogues that link downtown New York to a tropical Colombian cantina. They are celebrations of Latin America and new definitions of what “Latin Alternative” can be. Her most recent album, 2021’s Alborotá, was shortlisted as among the Best Latin Music of the year by both Rolling Stone and NPR.
Since 2014, Greenwich House Music School’s Uncharted series has emerged as one of New York’s most exciting and unpredictable live concert series, drawing attention from tastemakers and curators from across the city. Every Uncharted performance features New York City-based artists premiering new projects or meeting new collaborators on stage.

Cathy Lu: Artist Talk
2022-08-11 17:00 - 18:00 | Online, NY, United States
Cathy Lu will give a talk about the project she worked on during her summer fellowship at Greenwich House Pottery.
Cathy is a California-based artist who explores experiences of immigration and cultural hybridity from an Asian American point of view. Cathy creates sculptures and installations that often draw from traditional Chinese imagery and objects to problematize what it means to be both Asian and American without being fully accepted by either culture. She currently teaches ceramics at Mills College and California College of the Arts.
Cathy earned an MFA from San Francisco Art Institute in sculpture and ceramics, and a BFA in ceramics and a BA in Chinese language, history, and culture from Tufts University. Lu has shown her work at the American Museum of Ceramic Art (Pomona, CA; 2020), Front Gallery (New Orleans, LA; 2019), A-B Projects (Los Angeles, CA; 2019), and Irving Street Projects (San Francisco, CA; CA; 2018), among others. Lu has held residencies at Bemis (Omaha, NE; 2021), LPP+ at Minnesota Street Project (San Francisco, CA; 2019), and Anderson Ranch Arts Center (Snowmass Village, CO; 2016).
During her fellowship, Cathy will work on a project called American Dream Pillows, inspired by a tradition in ancient China that believed that resting on specific pillows could influence both your dreams and your future. She will create ceramic pillows that meditate on Asian American experiences, specifically the tension between the American dream and the lived experience.
This event is free and open to the public.

The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present a group exhibition of ceramic work by interdisciplinary New York City-based artists curated by Edward Salas. Each of the twelve artists uses the medium of ceramics as a vehicle to illuminate and unpack layered personal histories. Looking forward or backward in time, the artists are working to understand the present and create hybrid artifacts that will help future generations understand our complex histories.
Clay is not an easy medium to work with in New York City. It is a material that requires resources that are often scarce like space, kilns, transportation and funds. In a city where histories are constantly being erased and rebuilt clay can be a medium to unearth the past, make sense of the present and converse with the future. Clay’s deep association with the past and its broad history of use by ancient cultures around the world makes it the perfect medium for contemporary artists to mine when engaging their own personal histories. Clay has a memory and the maker’s hand is inextricably part of the work. Some artists in this show look back and connect to ancient ways of making and motifs, remixing ideas for the complexities of our contemporary moment. Other artists use ceramics for its malleability, a characteristic that enables them to express the fleeting present. All of the artists in this show are tapping into a medium that holds many histories, making topical objects for the present and relics for the future. This is the dirty work that artists do.

Beth Campbell Artist Talk
2022-10-19 16:00 - 17:00 | Greenwich House Pottery, 16 Jones Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Beth Campbell will give an in-person talk about the project she is working on during her residency at Greenwich House Pottery.
Beth is a New York-based artist who creates drawings, sculptures, and architectural interventions that challenge our perception of the world by reworking everyday objects in surprising or startling ways. She employs mass-produced consumer items, often in repetition, to make apparent the way we use these items to construct our identities.
Beth earned her MFA from Ohio University and her BFA from Truman State University. Campbell’s work has been shown at Kate Werble Gallery (New York, NY; 2019), The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum (Ridgefield, CT; 2017), the Whitney Museum of Art (New York, NY; 2007), the Brooklyn Museum of Art (New York; 2004), and White Columns (New York, NY; 2000), among others. She has held residencies at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center (Sheboygan, WI; 2009) and the Lower East Side Print Shop (New York, NY; 2006).
During her residency, Beth is experimenting with doing “burn outs” where she will coat natural materials in clay and then fire them so the organic material burns away but leaves its form and texture behind in ceramic. Beth is also experimenting with tinting porcelain slip with colorants to achieve different colorful surfaces.
This event is free and open to the public.
It will take place in-person at Greenwich House Pottery, 16 Jones Street, NYC.

In-Person Reception | November 4, 2022 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Exhibition on view through December 16, 2022
The Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present a solo show by Wansoo Kim. In his New York City debut, Kim joins traditional and contemporary vessel forms with unconventional ornamentation to encourage us to think about metaphysical dichotomies such as what is visible versus invisible, internal versus external, and known versus unknown. Kim inverts what would typically be the inside and the outside of the vessels by embellishing the interiors with hand-painted designs or high reliefs. These designs draw in the viewer, while the height and narrowness of the vessels restrict full access to them, reminding us to think about what we choose to withhold or divulge in our lives and how much of the world around us is beyond our perception.

Kim is a Tennessee-based artist who earned his MFA from the University of Nebraska and his BFA from Seoul National University of Science and Technology. Recent solo exhibitions include Watkins College of Art at Belmont University (Nashville, TN; 2022), The New Gallery at Austin Peay State University (Clarksville, TN; 2021), and E. Bronson Ingram Studio Arts Center (Nashville, TN; 2020). He is an assistant professor of ceramics at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee.
