Palaver will also perform pieces by two other pioneering women, Jessie Montgomery and Lili Boulanger.
Repertoire
Strum – Jessie Montgomery
Zodiac Suite – Mary Lou Williams, arr. Chris Patishall
Nocturne – Lili Boulanger, arr. Su Yin Chan

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.

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.
