SUMMARY:Play it Forward
DESCRIPTION:An intimate evening of music at the home of Mark Rudd and Tracy Dockray in Greenwich Village to support the Greenwich House Music School Scholarship Fund. This year’s performance features \nRavi Coltrane\nand\nBrandee Younger\nwith Rashaan Carter\nThe evening begins with performances from some of Greenwich House Music School’s students who have received scholarships. \nCatering is provided by Little Owl\, and guests can enjoy fine wine from the private collection of Mark Rudd and Tracy Dockray. \n \n\n \nRavi Coltrane\, the second son of John Coltrane and Alice Coltrane\, is a critically acclaimed Grammy nominated saxophonist\, bandleader\, and composer. In the course of a twenty-plus year career\, Mr. Coltrane has worked as a sideman to many\, recorded noteworthy albums for himself and others and founded a prominent independent record label\, RKM. \nRavi’s latest album\, Spirit Fiction\, was released in June of 2012 for the Blue Note label. Additional credits include performances as well as recordings with Elvin Jones\, Terence Blanchard\, Kenny Baron\, Steve Coleman\, McCoy Tyner\, Jack DeJohnette\, Matt Garrison\, Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts\, Geri Allen\, Joanne Brackeem\, The Blue Note 7\, among others. He is a co-leader of the Saxophone Summit with Joe Lovano and Dave Liebman. \nRavi lives in Brooklyn\, NY and maintains a fast paced touring\, recording\, composing and performance schedule. He leads the effort to restore the John Coltrane Home in Dix Hills\, Long Island and presides over important reissues of his parent’s recordings. \nHarpist Brandee Younger is a classically-trained musician playing in the avant-garde tradition of her sonically forward predecessors Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane. As well versed in performance art as she is in the art of creative risk-taking\, Brandee Younger challenges commonly-held notions in her quest to make the harp a more relevant force in today’s music. \nMs. Younger’s ability to seamlessly inject the harp into arrangements and venues where it has been overlooked is a testament to her dedication to the instrument. She delivers a consistently fresh take on the timeless instrument as a performer and leader of the Brandee Younger Quartet. Known for expressive interpretations of traditional harp repertoire as well as her continuing work with a diverse cross-section of musical talents\, Brandee is a creative linchpin whose nuanced presence and willingness to push boundaries makes her irreplaceable on record and in performance. \nShe has graced the stage with jazz leaders and popular hip-hop and r&b titans including Ravi Coltrane\, Pharoah Sanders\, Jack Dejohnette\, Reggie Workman\, Common\, Salaam Remi\, John Legend\, Maxwell and Lauryn Hill. Her fourth album Soul Awakening was released in June of 2019 and her original composition “Hortense” can be heard on the original Netflix Concert-Documentary by Beyoncé; Homecoming. \n

SUMMARY:Breaking the Plane\, Shannon Goff\, Peter Christian Johnson\, Lauren Mabry
DESCRIPTION:From left to right: Shannon Goff\, Sourpuss\, 2015; Lauren Mabry\, Lasso\, 2019; Peter Christian Johnson\, Jilted\, 2019. \nBreaking the Plane\nShannon Goff\, Peter Christian Johnson\, Lauren Mabry\nOpening Reception | Friday\, October 11\, 2019 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through November 8\, 2019 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present Breaking the Plane\, an exhibition of new work by Shannon Goff\, Peter Christian Johnson\, and Lauren Mabry. This show brings together three artists who are using clay and glaze to create lines that cannot be confined to two-dimensions. Goff and Mabry challenge the fundamentally two-dimensional form of the line by using clay to draw in the round. Mabry and Johnson thwart expectations by separating glaze from the ceramic surface and giving it volumetric form\, while Goff and Johnson use a density of three-dimensional lines to give their “drawings” mass. \nShannon Goff’s ceramic work embraces abstraction and is heavily rooted in the practice of drawing. Through continued experimentation\, she strives to repurpose the perceived limits of her medium into possibilities. Goff begins her sculptures as meditative doodles\, but current events and images often co-opt them. She addresses themes of containment\, collapse\, landscape\, and structure in these sculpted drawings with an aesthetic sensibility that often belies the seriousness of her subject matter. Drawing out loud helps Goff understand how to best navigate the built and natural environments of contemporary society’s tumultuous terrain. \nPeter Christian Johnson creates architecturally-inspired material studies that represent the tragic beauty he sees as the human condition. He laboriously sketches out scaffolding in porcelain\, encouraging it to warp in the kiln by using the weight of volumetric glaze to collapse and shift the finished object. For Johnson\, the collapsing forms evoke a sense of sorrow and distortion that is emblematic of the various burdens we carry. \nLauren Mabry uses clay and glaze to draw and paint in three dimensions\, creating a feeling of mystery and surprise that forces every viewer—no matter their ceramic knowledge—to engage with the material and try to piece together her making process. Mabry likens her process to building with Tinkertoys. She extrudes coils and fires them\, using wet clay to connect the hard pieces and firing them again before adding rings of pure glaze. Over time Mabry has been learning how to anticipate the distortion the kiln introduces in her work\, but the process will always remain a careful balance between intentionality and the freedom of surprise. \nDownload the press release here. \nImages: © Alan Wiener\, courtesy of Greenwich House Pottery\, 2019.

SUMMARY:Artist Reception for Touching Time
DESCRIPTION:Works in progress\, 2019. Photo: courtesy of the artist. \nTouching Time\nChristopher Staley\nOpening Reception | Saturday\, September 7\, 2019 | 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through September 27\, 2019 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Christopher Staley. In the artist’s first solo exhibition in 10 years\, Staley uses introspection to locate creativity and selfhood within his artistic process. The work in this exhibition was inspired by Staley’s 2019 return to the Archie Bray Foundation and Greenwich House Pottery—two ceramics centers that had a significant impact on his career—30 years after he first encountered them. Re-encountering these spaces made Staley reconsider how his life experience has affected his work. Like the Process Artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s\, he began to reevaluate where “art” occurred in his making process. Was it the finished object or the steps along the way? By analyzing his work as metaphor and interrogating his creative process\, Staley leads by example and encourages other artists to do the same\, raising the question: Are the objects in this exhibition the art\, or is the introspection Staley sparks in others his true art? \nChristopher Staley is an artist based out of Pennsylvania. He has been a Professor of Ceramic Art at Penn State University since 1990. He received his MFA from Alfred University and his BFA from Wittenberg University. Staley has shown his work across the United States\, including at Museum of Contemporary Crafts (Portland\, OR; 2013) Santa Fe Clay Gallery (Santa Fe\, NM; 2009)\, and Garth Clark Gallery (New York\, NY; 2000). He has been artist in residence at Ceramic Art Museum (Fuping\, China; 2007)\, EKWC (The Netherlands\, 2005)\, and the Archie Bray Foundation (Helena\, MT; 2019\, 2004\, 1998-99). Staley has previously served as President of the National Council on Education of the Ceramic Arts (2016)\, on the Board of Directors for Haystack School of Crafts (Deer Isle\, ME; 2005-14)\, and on the Advisory Board for Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts (Edgecomb\, ME; 1991-94).

SUMMARY:Touching Time\, Christopher Staley
DESCRIPTION:Works in progress\, 2019. Photo: courtesy of the artist. \nTouching Time\nChristopher Staley\nOpening Reception | Saturday\, September 7\, 2019 | 3:00 – 5:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through September 27\, 2019 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Christopher Staley. In the artist’s first solo exhibition in 10 years\, Staley uses introspection to locate creativity and selfhood within his artistic process. The work in this exhibition was inspired by Staley’s 2019 return to the Archie Bray Foundation and Greenwich House Pottery—two ceramics centers that had a significant impact on his career—30 years after he first encountered them. Re-encountering these spaces made Staley reconsider how his life experience has affected his work. Like the Process Artists of the ‘60s and ‘70s\, he began to reevaluate where “art” occurred in his making process. Was it the finished object or the steps along the way? By analyzing his work as metaphor and interrogating his creative process\, Staley leads by example and encourages other artists to do the same\, raising the question: Are the objects in this exhibition the art\, or is the introspection Staley sparks in others his true art? \nChristopher Staley is an artist based out of State College\, PA. He has been a Professor of Ceramic Art at Penn State University since 1990. He received his MFA from Alfred University and his BFA from Wittenberg University. Staley has shown his work across the United States\, including at Museum of Contemporary Crafts (Portland\, OR; 2013) Santa Fe Clay Gallery (Santa Fe\, NM; 2009)\, and Garth Clark Gallery (New York\, NY; 2000). He has been artist in residence at FuLe International Ceramic Art Museum (Fuping\, China; 2007)\, EKWC (Oisterwijk Netherlands; 2005) and the Archie Bray Foundation (Helena\, MT; 2019\, 2004\, 1998-99). Staley has previously served as President of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) (2016-18)\, on the Board of Directors for Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (Deer Isle\, ME; 2005-14) and on the Advisory Board for Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts (Newcastle\, ME; 1991-94). \nDownload the press release here. \nJoin us for a one-day workshop with Christopher Staley.

SUMMARY:Kari Marboe Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Kari Maboe will give a talk about the work she has been developing during her fellowship at Greenwich House Pottery. \nKari Marboe uses her artwork to engage communities with each other and with the past by delving into archives and using digital tools to present her research in clay. She is working on a collaborative exhibition project called “Duplicating Daniel” with the Mills College Art Museum\, which will be on view at the museum January 22–March 15\, 2020. The project records Marboe’s attempts to “return” a Daniel Rhodes sculpture that is missing from the museum’s archives based on the only remaining evidence of it: a blurry photograph and its accession information. \nDaniel Rhodes (1922–1988) was a ceramic artist who taught at Alfred University for 25 years and is probably best known for writing “Clay and Glazes for the Potter” (1957). His history overlaps with Greenwich House Pottery’s several times: he had an exhibition at GHP in 1962\, one of his sculptures was part of GHP’s permanent collection\, and he taught Minnie Negoro (GHP faculty\, 1963–1965) ceramics while she was interned at Wyoming’s Heart Mountain Relocation Center. Marboe has used her fellowship at the Pottery to look into our archive and further investigate the connection between Rhodes and GHP to inform her “Duplicating Daniel” project. \nSeats are limited.\nPlease register to RSVP.\nThis event is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Lay Me in a Hot Bed and Try Not to Drown\, Joanna Powell
DESCRIPTION:Left to right: Flower Vessel no. 1 and Fruit Vessel with Bangles\, ceramic\, 2019. Photo: courtesy of Greenwich House Pottery. Photographer: Alan Wiener. \nLay Me in a Hot Bed and Try Not to Drown\nJoanna Powell\nOpening Reception | Friday\, May 17\, 2019 | 5:00  – 7:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through June 14\, 2019 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Joanna Powell. Lay Me in a Hot Bed and Try Not to Drown\, Powell’s New York City debut\, was inspired by the harrowing experience of returning to Dallas after her mother’s death. In this exhibition\, Powell explores emotions that are universally felt in highly individualized ways. Everyone eventually grapples with the death of a loved one\, but each person’s experience is unique. Using ceramic\, photography and neon\, Powell unpacks how those humid Dallas nights felt\, trying to fall asleep despite the crush of emotion and thick summer air\, and what it means to have common experiences without actually being able to share them. \nPowell’s work is joyful while retaining a sense of loss. Infinite black backgrounds make intense colors pop with life\, and white vessels are washed in color. Pots and paintings alike are lush with beautiful plant life whose fruit and flowers promise plenty that they ultimately cannot fulfill. Joy and pain are present in Powell’s work in a way that welcomes viewers to contemplate their experiences with loss without dictating their responses. \nJoanna Powell (b. 1981\, Dallas\, TX) holds an MFA from the University of Colorado\, Boulder and a BFA from The University of North Texas in Denton. Powell has exhibited her work throughout the United States. Her most recent solo exhibition\, Everything Belongs to You\, was held at the Denison Art Space in Newark\, OH. In 2015\, Powell was granted an Emerging Artist Award from the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA). She has been a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation (Helena\, MT); Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (Deer Isle\, ME); Alfred University (NY); Kansas State University (Manhattan\, KS) and Denison University (Granville\, OH). Currently she lives in Helena\, MT and is a full-time studio artist and travelling lecturer.

SUMMARY:Untitled (Billy Wilder doesn’t drink green tea) 2019\, Rirkrit Tiravanija
DESCRIPTION:Untitled (Billy Wilder doesn’t drink green tea) 2019\, 2019. Photo: courtesy of Greenwich House Pottery. Photographer: Alan Wiener. \nUntitled (Billy Wilder doesn’t drink green tea) 2019\nRirkrit Tiravanija\nOpening Reception | Friday\, February 22\, 2019 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through March 22\, 2019\n \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Rirkrit Tiravanija. Tiravanija has transformed the gallery into a familiar environment that invites visitors to take a minute to sit\, relax\, have a drink and contemplate pottery. Tiravanija is known for creating similar installations and events that emphasize social engagement\, as well as his traditional material-based art.  He made a name for himself in the early ’90s by eschewing typical visual arts practices and engaging audiences by cooking for them. He has continued this practice throughout the decades in nearly all subsequent installations and exhibitions\, including during his 2017 residency at Greenwich House Pottery—cooking 3-inch thick porterhouse steak in his thrown custom-formulated flameware to make lunch for the Pottery’s community. In Untitled (Billy Wilder doesn’t like green tea) 2019\, Tiravanija once again brings his material-based artwork together with his social practice. \nBorn in Buenos Aires\, Argentina\, Tiravanija is a Thai artist widely recognized as one of the most influential artists of his generation. His work defies media-based description\, as his practice combines traditional object making\, public and private performances\, teaching\, and other forms of public service and social action. Tiravanija is on the faculty of the School of the Arts at Columbia University\, and is a founding member and curator of Utopia Station\, a collective project of artists\, art historians and curators. Tiravanija also helped establish an educational-ecological project known as The Land Foundation\, located in Chiang Mai\, Thailand. \nHe has had individual exhibitions at the following institutions: Garage Museum of Contemporary Art (Moscow\, Russia; 2015); Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (TX; 2014); Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco\, CA; 2013); Tate Modern (London\, United Kingdom; 2013); Singapore Art Museum (Singapore; 2012); Centre Pompidou (Paris\, France; 2012); Museum of Modern Art (New York\, NY; 2012); Bonniers Konsthall (Stockholm\, Sweden; 2011); Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum (St. Louis\, MO; 2009); The Drawing Center (New York\, NY; 2008); among others. He has also participated in group exhibitions at the Sharjah Biennial (Sharjah\, United Arab Emirates; 2015); Venice Biennale (Venice\, Italy; 2015); the Hammer Museum (Los Angeles\, CA; 2014); the National Museum of Art\, Architecture and Design (Oslo\, Norway; 2014); the New Museum (New York\, NY; 2013); the Palais de Tokyo (Paris\, France; 2012); among many others.

SUMMARY:Millennium Mambo\, Cristina Tufiño

Courtesy of the artist and Galería Agustina Ferreyra. ©Cristina Tufiño. Photo: Alan Wiener. \nMillennium Mambo\nCristina Tufiño\nOpening Reception | Friday\, September 28\, 2018 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through October 26\, 2018 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Cristina Tufiño. Tufiño is an interdisciplinary artist whose work draws on matriarchal power and sexuality. In this new body of sculptural work\, Tufiño develops the exploration she began in her video essay Dear Pilar (2018)\, using historical symbols and personal experiences to explore the tension between biographical representation\, memory and desire. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition. \nAppearing improvisational at first\, consideration shows how carefully Tufiño has layered historical reference with autobiographical imagery. A collection of cast ceramic keyboards\, cat heads\, fingers and pineapples stand out as the refuse of some past-present millennial culture\, waiting to be discovered by a future archeologist. The palette of the installation as a whole is sourced from the vibrant colors of ancient Greek statues before they were eroded by time. The embracing sphinxes twine together the disparate histories of Ancient Egypt\, French Egyptian Revival furniture and the vernacular art of Las Vegas architecture and tourist souvenirs. \nTufiño connects these broader historical references to her personal experience\, juxtaposing archeological references with images of her childhood home in San Juan\, Puerto Rico\, her travels to Tokyo\, Japan and her visits to the lush gardens of the Chateau de Fontainebleau in France. The ceramic polaroid picture wall reliefs are fragmented memories—both real and imagined from 2001—drawn from personal photographs\, found images of bar hostesses in Tokyo\, and women bored and drinking in bars or coming home to mundane lives. This collage of artifacts comes together as an imagined vision into the past through a future nostalgia\, a nostalgia that is sensual and bright despite its dark undertones. \nCristina Tufiño (b. 1982) was born in San Juan\, Puerto Rico and lives and works between Philadelphia\, PA and New York\, NY. Tufiño received her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania\, her BFA in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design\, and her BA in art history from the University of Puerto Rico. Her work has been shown in a number of solo\, two-person and group exhibitions including at: Knockdown Center (Queens\, NY; 2018)\, Galería Agustina Ferreyra (Mexico City\, Mexico; 2018)\, NADA NY (New York\, NY; 2017)\, The Hole (New York\, NY; 2018)\, Ruberta (Los Angeles\, CA; 2017) and Hidrante (San Juan\, Puerto Rico; 2016). Tufiño has won the ARTADIA Award (2016) and the Chenven Foundation Artist Grant (2016) and been artist in residence at the Loisaida Arts Center (New York\, NY; 2016) and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (Madison\, ME; 2012).

SUMMARY:Ceramics Now 2018
DESCRIPTION:Mathew McConnell\, Untitled #1 from Today Won’t Remember (edition of 2)\, earthenware with bone charcoal and graphite\, 13” x 11” x 1”\, 2017/18. Photo: courtesy of Greenwich House Pottery. Photographer: Alan Wiener. \nCeramics Now\nNicolás Guagnini\, Samuel Johnson\, Pam Lins\, Linda Lopez\,\nMathew McConnell\, Eun-Ha Paek\, Rirkrit Tiravanija\nOpening Reception | Friday July 13\, 2018 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through September 14\, 2018 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present work by our 2017-2018 artists in residence: Nicolás Guagnini\, Samuel Johnson\, Pam Lins\, Linda Lopez\, Mathew McConnell\, Eun-Ha Paek and Rirkrit Tiravanija. The Greenwich House Pottery residency is a distinguished program that fosters artistic growth by providing artists with a creative community\, time\, space\, material and technical skill to explore and generate new bodies of work in ceramics in the center of the art world. \nContemporary artist\, writer and filmmaker Nicolás Guagnini works across disciplines to engage with concepts of labor\, capital and masculinity. His exhibitions frequently mix mediums—ceramic sculptures are paired with books from his personal library\, flowers\, ink-soaked pedestals\, critical writing and unique text design—with every component adding a layer of meaning deeply tied to the project’s philosophical basis. Guagnini used his residency to work on large-scale ceramics sculpture. \nSamuel Johnson is a potter known for his woodfired utilitarian pottery. He sees the uneven shapes and dark varied surfaces of his finished work as a reflection of humanity’s capacity for reason and mathematical precision while simultaneously being half-wild\, full of biological and spiritual mysteries. Johnson is using his residency at GHP to develop new forms in utilitarian ceramics. \nPrimarily a sculptor\, Pam Lins works across disciplines using classical to contemporary art\, craft and design forms to question the nature of sculpture and materiality. During her residency\, Lins developed a collaborative project with artists Trisha Baga and Halsey Rodman and approximately 50 other artists to create and decorate ceramic and mixed-media artwork that will culminate in December at Greene Naftali Gallery in what Lins\, Baga and Rodman hope will be an unruly event that is simultaneously a party\, a play\, a show\, a cocktail lounge\, a conversation circle and a fundraiser. \nLinda Lopez creates sculptures that anthropomorphize the objects around us. She is perhaps best known for her “dust fury” sculptures\, round or oblong creatures composed of hundreds of drops of clay\, often sprinkled with gold luster nuggets of “lint.” Resisting the idea that objects are inanimate\, Lopez studies objects and their relationships to one another to discover their psychological states and personalities\, which she reveals in her work. Lopez continued this investigation during her residency. \nMathew McConnell uses his studio practice to explore concepts of authorship and to consider the developing art historical moment. McConnell begins with the work of other visual artists\, sometimes making what appear to be exact facsimiles of the works\, sometimes reinterpreting them beyond recognition\, but always with a mind towards understanding the moment at which the work becomes more his than theirs. McConnell’s 2016 solo show in the Jane Hartsook Gallery was hailed by art historian and critic Garth Clark as\, “a new benchmark for himself\, the field and the genre.” \nEun-Ha Paek is an animation filmmaker and illustrator based in Brooklyn\, NY who creates narratives that use humor to process the full range of human emotion. She brings the characters in these narratives into the physical world through ceramics\, creating sculptures that are familiar and yet strange—at times dark\, but always playful. As a fellow\, Paek considered the mutability of memory. She 3-D scanned and printed hand-built sculptures and then scanned and printed each subsequent iteration of the sculptures\, allowing the regular defaults in the process to accumulate. In the same way that parts of a memory gain or lose resolution over time\, the sculptures slowly mutated with each remaking. \nRirkrit Tiravanija is perhaps best known for creating installations and events that emphasize social engagement\, though he creates traditional material-based art as well. He made a name for himself in the early 90’s by eschewing typical visual arts practices and engaging audiences by cooking for them. He has continued this practice in relational aesthetics with subsequent installations\, and made it a part of his residency—cooking steak in his handmade flameware to make lunch for the Pottery’s community. Tiravanija used his time at GHP to expand his work on the potter’s wheel and experiment with forms based on the teabowl.

SUMMARY:Chawan\, Tom Sachs
DESCRIPTION:Chawan Cabinet\, porcelain\, gold luster\, pine\, maple\, latex\, glass beads\, steel hardware\, epoxy resin\, Tru Vue Museum Glass\, 32″ x 32″ x 8″\, (ToS 80)\, S/N: 2018.124\, 2018. \nChawan\nTom Sachs\nOpening Reception | Sunday\, May 6\, 2018 | 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through June 8\, 2018 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by American sculptor Tom Sachs. Known for his dry wit\, this modern day chawan’ya observes\, “There comes a time in every middle-aged\, man’s life when he realizes that Japan is where it’s at… Mourning the loss of spirituality in our capitalist environment\, we admire Tea’s integration of humility\, prosperity\, and spirituality.” For Sachs\, that has meant making chawan\, or teabowls\, in addition to learning chanoyu \, the way of tea. In this exhibition\, Sachs has filled several tea cabinets with chawan and highlighted a number of “heroes\,” individual chawan that he sets apart as embodying a certain heighted “thingness.” \nThe way of tea serves to give meaning to the meaningless for Sachs\, and its ritual provides relief from the structure of society and the commitments one has to the world. He expresses this in his art by making ritualized objects to fill the void created by the purposeless production we encounter so often in daily life. Sachsturns to tea to reconcile his love of consumerism and his private quest for authenticity\, while his chanoyu is an “expression of how spirituality’s been replaced with consumerism\,” just as it was for the wildly revered tea master\, Sen no Rikyū (1522 – 1591). \nSachs is best known for his cultural prosthetics. Sculptures created using materials readily available or found—bricolage—his plywood\, boom boxes and NASA installations. A contrarian and provocateur whose humor and convictions are decidedly postmodern\, Sachs has an appetite for consumerism and cultural fetishization. Unlike much of contemporary theory\, Sachs embraces rather than disparages consumer culture. It is difficult to speak about the perils of society and the degradation of the environment while holding an iPhone. The rise of consumerism has cultivated an aloof criticality reluctant to see its irony revealed. It is impossible to discern whether Sachs is sincere about his sincerity—the critical\, academic\, leftist response would be to reject consumerism as unauthentic and bourgeois\, not to embrace it. Liminality is an overarching theme in his life and work: Sachs occupies the space between artist and manufacturer\, proletariat and bourgeoisie\, ascetic and materialist\, reality and make-believe. This is the second exhibition of Sachs’ chawans. Exhibited will be several cabinets of chawans and cups. Also on view will be several “hero” chawans. \nThe exhibition will be presented with the support of Salon 94. Tom Sachs (b. 1966\, New York) is a New York-based sculptor known for his work inspired by icons of modernism and design. Using modest studio materials\, Sachs creates parallel universes incorporating semi-functional sculpture\, sometimes deployed by the artist and his studio assistants for interactive projects as in Nutsy’s (2001–2003) and Space Program (2007\, 2012\, 2016–2017). His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York\, NY); the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York\, NY); the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York\, NY); the Whitney Museum of American Art (New York\, NY); the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles\, CA); the Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris\, France); San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (San Francisco\, CA); and the Astrup Fearnley Museet for Moderne Kunst (Oslo\, Norway) among others. \nHe has had solo exhibitions at the Nasher Sculpture Center (Dallas\, TX; 2017–2018); Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (San Francisco\, CA; 2016–2017)\, Noguchi Museum (New York\, NY; 2016); the Brooklyn Museum (New York\, NY; 2016); the Contemporary (Austin\, TX; 2015); the Park Avenue Armory (New York\, NY; 2012); Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum (Ridgefield\, CT; 2009); Gagosian Gallery (Los Angeles\, CA; 2007); Lever House (New York\, NY; 2008); Fondazione Prada (Milan\, Italy; 2006); the Deutsche Guggenheim (Berlin\, Germany; 2003); the Bohen Foundation (New York\, NY; 2002); and SITE (Santa Fe\, NM; 1999); among others. His film A Space Program was released by Zeitgeist in 2016\, offering viewers a glimpse into the artist’s studio practice\, philosophy\, and the narrative surrounding his 2012 project with Creative Time at the Park Avenue Armory.

SUMMARY:Fused\, Daniel Bare
DESCRIPTION:Merge (number 3)\, post-consumer found ceramic objects\, porcelain\, glaze\, Ni/Cr wire\, steel\, 14″ x 12″ x 13″\, 2018. Photo: courtesy of Greenwich House Pottery. Photographer: Alan Wiener. \nFused \nDaniel Bare\nOpening Reception | Friday\, February 23\, 2018 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through March 23\, 2018 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Daniel Bare. Bare’s sculptures are a critique on the wastefulness of American consumerism. He collects unwanted pottery from thrift stores\, landfills and abandoned kiln sites and assembles them into stacks that often seem posed on the brink of collapse. Highlighting the uniformity of mass produced goods\, Bare stacks similar items together making it seem as though they are replicating of their own accord. Other forms are more organic\, resembling marine landscapes or waves of discarded consumer goods poised to overwhelm the viewer. \nBare creates his sculptures by stacking the mugs\, plates and bowls in a saggar container inside the kiln\, often securing precarious forms with nichrome wire. He drips casting slip and glazes overtop\, squirting or “glopping” glazes by hand\, spatula or glaze bulb – a tool similar to a turkey baster. This added glaze and the liquid clay\, or casting slip\, work in tandem with the glaze on the collected pottery to fuse it into a finished sculpture. These found objects add an element of the unknown since Bare is not always sure what temperature they can withstand\, which sometimes leads to his sculptures collapsing unexpectedly during firing. The saggar containers protect the inside of his kiln from being ruined by clay or glaze that melts unpredictably. Bare pushes his materials to this precarious brink – hoping they shift or slump in the heat of the kiln without fully collapsing. The resulting fusion of individual objects into a unified whole adds to the unsettling sense that each of these sculptures will continue to grow and absorb more material\, eventually overtaking everything in their path. \nBare is a full-time Lecturer in the Art Department at Clemson University. He has called the Upstate of South Carolina home since 2010. Born and raised in Lancaster\, PA\, he earned his MFA in Ceramic Art from Alfred University (Alfred\, NY) and BFA in Crafts/Ceramics from the University of the Arts (Philadelphia\, PA).  His practice in clay and professional experience includes international and national artist residencies at acclaimed programs in China\, Japan\, Canada and the United States. His ceramic work is featured in Glaze: The Ultimate Collection of Ceramic Glazes and How They Were Made (2014)\, as well as 500 Ceramic Sculptures (2009)\, 500 Teapots Part I & II (2002; 2013). He exhibits and presents public lectures about his work at Beijing Fine Art Academy in China\, the Michigan Ceramic Art Association\, the National Council for Education in the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) conferences and many universities and art centers in the US and abroad.

SUMMARY:A.M. Martens
DESCRIPTION:From Within We See (detail)\, porcelain\, wood\, dimensions variable\, 2018. Photo: courtesy of Greenwich House Pottery. Photographer: Alan Wiener. \nA.M. Martens\nOpening Reception | Friday\, January 12\, 2018 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through February 9\, 2018 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by A.M. Martens. In her artwork\, Martens uses everyday objects and spaces to reveal the inner structures that shape our individual points of view. In this installation\, Martens uses imagery and personal recollections from exploring construction sites with her family as a child to consider the way experiences and relationships shape us and the way memory can be a window into our subjectivity. \nIn the wall-mounted works\, Martens invites us to think about how our recollections\, however factually incorrect\, can illustrate personal truths. These slabs are fractured re-creations of a photograph of Martens and her sister at the construction site of their family home. The image captured a moment Martens did not know she had misremembered until re-discovering the photograph years later. She realized her memory of it described her connection to her family members better than it did the moment captured in the photograph. Martens made these slabs by screen-printing the picture onto drywall using oxide washes\, putting the drywall onto a clay slab and then glazing the work in its entirety. The drywall cracks in the heat of the glaze firing\, changing the original image\, similar to the way Martens’s memory was distorted over time. \nMartens expands on this idea in her installation of wooden beams and porcelain nails. Struck by the novelty of being able to move through unfinished walls when she explored building sites as a child\, Martens has reimagined these internal spaces as a liminal place between events and our internalization of them. Experiences and relationships accumulate\, shaping our identities and daily lives even though we do not actively think about the way this happens. Martens likens this to the way that nails surround us\, holding together the buildings we live and work in\, despite how little thought we give them. By making facsimile nails out of porcelain instead of using common steel nails\, Martens encourages us to think about the way seemingly inconsequential moments are valuable parts of our perspectives. Like the structure of a home\, our interpersonal interactions shape our understanding of the world and are the foundation of who we are. \nMartens grew up in South Dakota\, which continues to inform her artistic process. She began creating installations while obtaining her MA in Studio Art at Minnesota State University\, Mankato. Martens continued her education at Michigan State University where she was awarded a University Distinguished Fellowship and obtained an MFA. After graduating she became the Ceramics Artist in Residence at Kansas State University. Martens has exhibited her work throughout the United States including at Axis Gallery (Sacramento\, CA); Gallerie Noir (Dallas\, TX); Red Lodge Clay Center (Red Lodge\, MT); Schacht Gallery (Saratoga\, NY); Sculpture Center (Cleveland\, OH); and Sullivan Galleries (Chicago\, IL). She currently lives in Chicago and is the Ceramics Studio Manager at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

SUMMARY:Naomi Dalglish and Michael Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Yunomi\, ceramic\, 2017. Photo: courtesy of Greenwich House Pottery. Photographer: Alan Wiener. \nNaomi Dalglish and Michael Hunt\nOpening Reception | Saturday\, December 2\, 2017 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through December 22\, 2017 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present new work by Naomi Dalglish and Michael Hunt of Bandana Pottery. Dalglish and Hunt are uniquely involved in their artistic process and that deep connection is evident in the lively character of their wood-fired utilitarian pottery. Their work is raw and yet refined\, similar to buncheong ware but more gestural than those 14th century ceramics. That white-slip-decorated ware was prized for its wit and candor — qualities Dalglish and Hunt’s work shares — but where the decoration on the Korean ware is detailed\, Dalglish and Hunt’s is free form. They carve\, brush and run their fingers through the slip on their vessels\, creating pottery with a presence to match its predecessors but with a contemporary aesthetic. Dalglish and Hunt’s work is remarkable for its enigmatic quality\, which gives the user the impression that the soul of the clay is revealed in each one of these handcrafted vessels. \nDalglish and Hunt are able to bring their warm\, charismatic ceramics to life because of their dedication to their making process. They source their clay from local deposits in North Carolina. Processing the raw clay is labor intensive and the artists spend days screening\, mixing and drying it before they can use it. They form their vessels: carving trays from solid blocks of clay\, slumping plates over plaster molds or paddling wheel-thrown cylinders into rectangular vessels. Dalglish and Hunt wood-fire their work in a kiln they built in 2003. It is modified from a Thai kiln design that mimics the shape of a flame. In order for the kiln to reach the desired 2350 degrees Fahrenheit\, they stoke the chamber with wood for up to 20 hours – a demanding task that requires precision\, timing and attentiveness. This commitment to their work is what enables Dalglish and Hunt to create utilitarian ware that is as lively as it is functional. \nNaomi Dalglish and Michael Hunt live and work in the mountains of western North Carolina where they collectively operate Bandana Pottery. They both studied ceramics at Penland School of Craft in Penland\, NC. Dalglish received her BA from Earlham College in Richmond\, IN and has studied with potters in Tlayacapan\, Mexico. Hunt’s education includes the comprehensive research of traditional kilns and potteries in South East Asia including an apprenticeship with Onggi potter Oh Hyang Jong in Kwangju\, Korea. Dalglish and Hunt have built wood kilns in North Carolina\,Pennsylvania and Virginia and taught workshops at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts (Deer Isle\, ME); the Craft Guild (Dallas\, TX); and the North Carolina International Woodfire Conference (Star\, NC). Dalglish and Hunt exhibit their work widely\, including at the Korean Cultural Center (Washington\, DC); Northern Clay Center (Minneapolis\, MN); Schaller Gallery (St. Joseph\, MI); Wayne Center for the Arts (Wooster\, OH); The Clay Studio (Philadelphia\, PA); Southwestern University (Georgetown\, TX); Red Lodge Clay Center (Red Lodge\, MT); and AKAR Design Gallery\, (Iowa City\, IA).

SUMMARY:Vibrant Things\, Andrew Casto\, Evan D'Orazio\, Hilary Harnischfeger
DESCRIPTION:Hilary Harnischfeger\, Diana ceramic\, paper\, hydrostone\, mica\, pigment\, druzy quartz\, wood\, 17.5″ x 27.5″ x 11″\, 2016. Photo: courtesy of Greenwich House Pottery. Photographer: Alan Wiener. \nVibrant Things\nAndrew Casto\, Evan D’Orazio\, Hilary Harnischfeger\nCurator: Aimee Odum\nOctober 19\, 2017 – November 17\, 2017 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present Vibrant Things\, a three person exhibition featuring Andrew Casto\, Evan D’Orazio and Hilary Harnischfeger\, curated by Aimee Odum. Undertaking the near-impossible and intricate task of absorbing the world around them\, the artists transform ephemeral events from their environment into tangible and vivacious ceramic assemblages. Each creates their own distinct aesthetic using layers of clay slip\, encrusted hydrostone or brightly colored ceramic mounds. Casto\, D’Orazio and Harnischfeger are influenced by geological processes\, banal spaces or personal moods or relationships. They channel day-to-day experiences into objects that preserve the gestures that made them\, giving these static forms a sense of movement. Vibrant Things connects these lively ceramic forms with stress\, humor and memory – provoking us to evaluate the forces that shape us. \nAndrew Casto’s forms are loosely structured branches that seem to divide infinitely\, rising and gracefully melting into their own formations. Casto builds strata with soft hues and flecks of gold that flow over mounds of fluid slip and glaze. He extracts a visual language from geological processes like erosion\, linking these dynamic changes to the repercussions of stress and how it shapes us physically\, mentally and emotionally. Creating a tempo with his work\, Casto repeats and evolves each ceramic form\, relating these transformations to our fluctuating surroundings. \nCasto presented solo exhibitions at Galleria Salvatore Lanteri (Milan\, Italy); and Mindy Solomon Gallery (Miami\, FL). His work has been included in national and international group exhibitions at Puls Contemporary Ceramics (Brussels\, Belgium); Patricia Swaton Gallery (Oakland\, CA); Gallery 8 and Cynthia Corbet Gallery (London\, UK); and Sight Unseen Offsite for Design Week (New York\, NY). His work is in numerous permanent collections such as the Regidoria de Cultura (El Vendrell\, Spain); The Arizona State University Museum of Art Ceramics Research Center (Tempe\, AZ); and The Archie Bray Foundation (Helena\, MT). Casto currently serves as the Assistant Professor of Art in Ceramics at The University of Iowa. He received his MFA from the University of Iowa and is represented by Mindy Solomon Gallery in Miami. \nEvan D’Orazio’s objects serve as actants for his interests\, identity and physical and mental stress. Through a cathartic process\, the work become manifestations of D’Orazio’s anxieties as he piles\, throws and manipulates clay into heaps\, often resembling debris. D’Orazio brings lightness to his work by incorporating colors of the 1980s and processed and artificial foods. Bright\, saturated surfaces act as a counter response to his negative day-to-day experiences. The objects pulsate with a sense of liveliness and humor\, pushing and pulling the viewer through D’Orazio’s responses to his daily routine. \nD’Orazio has held solo exhibitions at Morpho Gallery (Chicago\, IL) and Pleasant Street Gallery (Dekalb\, IL). He has been invited to show his work in group exhibitions at Forum Gallery (Bloomfield Hills\, MI); Museum of Contemporary Art (Detroit\, MI); Galleria Salvatore Lanteri (Milan\, Italy); Palazzo Cisterna (Turin\, Italy); and Morpho Gallery (Chicago\, IL). D’Orazio currently lives and works in Ferndale\, MI. He received his MFA from The Cranbrook Academy of Art (Bloomfield Hills\, MI). \nPerceptive of the subtleties in her environment\, Hilary Harnischfeger uses spaces and events to inform her raw\, yet intricate forms. Mounted on the wall and in the round\, the works are filled with dichotomies\, acting as a truthful\, yet mystical memory of her surroundings. Harnischfeger’s process involves taking molds of objects from her daily life and casting their likeness in hydrocal\, further pairing them with colored porcelain\, minerals and handmade paper. She finds inspiration from the architectural maquettes of German Expressionist\, Hermann Finsterlin\, her children’s interest in animated cartoons and a broken cliff face. Both entrancing and quiet\, the objects act as passages for us to understand our own environments in a way that is fleeting\, yet grounded. \nHarnischfeger has had solo exhibitions at Rachel Uffner Gallery (New York\, NY); American University Museum (Washington DC); Halsey McKay Gallery (East Hampton\, NY); Neverwork (New York\, NY); and Moody Gallery (Houston\, TX). She has participated in numerous group exhibitions\, among them shows at Cleveland Museum of Art (Cleveland\, OH); MOCA Cleveland (Cleveland\, OH); James Cohan Gallery (Shanghai\, CH); James Fuentes (New York\, NY); and Grimm Fine Art (Amsterdam\, NE). Selected press includes reviews by Jerry Saltz in New York Magazine and Roberta Smith in The New York Times\, among others. Harnischfeger lives and works in Brooklyn\, New York. She received her MFA from Columbia University and is represented by Rachel Uffner Gallery\, New York.

SUMMARY:Teapot
DESCRIPTION:Teapot\nA National Juried Exhibition\nOpening Reception | Friday\, September 9\, 2019 | 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through October 6\, 2017 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present Teapot\, A National Juried Exhibition with works selected by juror\, John Neely. Neely’s selections demonstrate the plethora of inventive approaches to creating a teapot and the object’s adaptable nature\, inviting the most eccentric or subtle changes to form. The teapot\, a device designed for brewing and serving tea serves as a sacred participant in the Japanese tea ceremony and a symbolic element for Victorian era upper class society. It is also an object of fetishism\, expression and iconography\, a truly versatile object. When covered with extravagant embellishments\, it is highly collectible kitsch or a political statement or both. The maker can imbue the teapot with a narrative that adds context to the form as a means of communication. Artists in this exhibition expand our experience of a teapot’s function and the possibility of surprise through elaborate and decorative deviation. \nCreating a teapot often requires attention to how the object moves or is handled during use\, engaging a curiosity for how to adapt construction and invention. The works in this exhibition are a result of those skills\, trial and error\, experimentation and tenacity. For utilitarian teapots\, this might pertain to how the belly of the form contains tea or how it transitions through and out of the spout. For non/semi-functional teapots\, movement is emphasized more through design\, textural curiosity and/or conceptual fascination. As a result\, artists see to fruition teapots with wood-fired surfaces\, representations of nature\, decorative pattern-making and\nimplications of humor. \nExhibiting artists include Posey Bacopoulos\, Hayne Bayless\, Jim Budde\, Todd Burns\, Mary Elizabeth Cotterman\, Scott Dooley\, Christopher Drobnock\, Stephen Heywood\, Steve Hilton\, Jamie Kirkpatrick\, Chris Pickett\, Louis Reilly\, Taylor Robenalt\, Meryl Ruth\, Josh Scott\, Nathan Willever\, Tripti Yoganathan and Dan Zulawski. Featured image is courtesy of Chris Pickett. \nJohn Neely is the Professor of Ceramics at Utah State University and is an accomplished ceramicist having presented his work in over 100 domestic group exhibitions as well as solo and international exhibitions which include China\, Korea\, Australia\, Japan\, New Zealand and Yugoslavia. John has lectured and conducted workshops at the International Woodfire Conference in Flagstaff\, AZ; Functional Ceramics Workshop in Wooster\, OH; Utilitarian Clay Conference in Arrowmont\, TN; Mendocino Arts Center in Mendocino\, CA\, and the Experimental Porcelain Workshop in Jingdezhen\, China. He will provide a one-day workshop in conjunction with Teapot on Friday\, September 8\, 2017 at Greenwich House Pottery\, New York\, NY.

SUMMARY:Ceramics Now 2017
DESCRIPTION:Ghada Amer\,  Study for a Black Sculpture On a Blue Base\, glazed ceramic\,  7 3/8 x 2 ½ x 5 ¼ in. 18.7 x 6.4 x 13.3 cm.\,  2017. Photo: courtesy of Greenwich House Pottery. Photographer: Alan Wiener. \nCeramics Now\nGhada Amer\, Judy Hoffman\, Alice Mackler\, Ellen Robinson\nOpening Reception | July 21\, 2017 | 5:00-7:00 p.m.\nExhibition on view through August 18\, 2017 \nThe Jane Hartsook Gallery is pleased to present work by Ghada Amer\, Judy Hoffman\, Alice Mackler and Ellen Robinson exhibiting their research as Artist-in-Residence at Greenwich House Pottery. The residency at GHP is a distinguished program offering artists an environment to explore and generate new bodies of work in ceramics. \nGhada Amer returned this year to complete her second residency at GHP\, spending rigorous hours in the studio and developing a tactile expertise with clay. Using this knowledge\, she generated a body of ceramic sculptures\, both large-scale paintings and miniatures\, thoroughly investigating the marriage between the sensual nature of clay and her message of female empowerment. She continues to cultivate this theme further\, bridging the span between her painting and ceramic work. \nGhada Amer is an American artist\, born in Egypt\, living and working in New York City. Amer received her MFA in the arts at Villa Arson in Nice\, France. She has held solo exhibitions at the Brooklyn Museum of Art; Musee d’Art Contemporain de Montreal; and the Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Roma\, Rome among others. Ghada Amer is represented by Cheim & Read in America\, Kukje in South Korea and Goodman Gallery in South Africa. \nWith a studio practice that reflects the characteristics of her work\, Judy Hoffman took full reign in experimenting with new forms\, parts and surfaces\, creating a database of urban\, organic sculptures. Hoffman meticulously organized shapes and surfaces from this playful chaos. Her sculptures are constructed by assembling these individual parts. Hoffman utilized the residency as a place to focus and reflect\, dedicating time to technical problem solving and conceptual evolution. As a result\, her work presents a dream of playful environments that are other-worldly\, lively\, biological and urban. \nJudy Hoffman is an American artist living and working in Brooklyn\, New York. Hoffman attended the New York Studio School and received her BA from Grinnell College in Iowa. She is a recipient of grants from the Women’s Studio Workshop and the Brooklyn Arts Council. Her work has been included in Sculpture Magazine and the New York Times. She has exhibited in numerous exhibitions including the Museum Frauenkultur\, in Fürth\,Germany and Bric House in New York\, NY. \nDuring her residency\, Alice Mackler created female figures vibrant in color and grotesque in texture. Mackler immersed herself in the work\, connecting instinctually with the tactility of the material. Her background in painting informs her eye for color and source of expression. The residency provided her with the opportunity to further develop eccentric forms and radiating surfaces. Experimenting with scale\, Mackler challenged herself to move beyond her 12 inch tall figures\, doubling their size.

Her invented constructions\, at first glance\, pass as organic natural forms\, but further looking reveals these forms as abstractions of those ideas. Yet\, Robinson transforms these associations into objects full of dichotomies and contrasting impressions. The work invites either a quiet or intense response through her use of monochromatic tones and whimsical arrangement. During the residency\, Robinson was able to explore a variety of surface treatments and assemblage choices\, working through new forms and ideas. \nEllen Robinson is an American artist living and working in Brooklyn\, NY. She received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York\, NY\, where she began working in ceramics. She has been an Artist-in-Residence at the Henry Street Settlement and has shown her work at galleries such as Alona Kagan Gallery in New York\, NY\, One Main Street Gallery in Buffalo\, NY and Diamantina Gallery in Brooklyn\, NY.
