ReObjectification in Postmodern Ceramics
Limited to 25 participants
11:30 am Monday, April 19

VIP Lounge, SOFA NEW YORK

Join artists Anat Shiftan, Gerit Grimm, Christa Assad and Greenwich House Pottery director Sarah Archer for a conversation about postmodernism in ceramics. With its rich history and ability to mimic other materials, ceramics is an ideal medium for the interpretation and re-contextualization of one object into another. Whether by direct reference, the use of found objects in ceramic sculpture or realistic rendering, artists can layer meaning into their work. The artists, all represented by Ferrin Gallery, discuss their various techniques for appropriating imagery and form in clay and the inspiration behind their choices.

Sarah Archer holds a BA from Swarthmore College and an MA in the history of decorative arts from the Bard Graduate Center, and was a curatorial assistant at the Museum of Arts and Design before joining GHP. Refreshments will be served.
