Gladstone Gallery

515 W 24th St

Gladstone Gallery is pleased to announce a group exhibition of contemporary artists working with ceramic. While master potters and ceramicists have long explored the medium, a number of artists now incorporate the material into a larger practice, often in surprising and increasingly inventive ways. Drawn from sculptors, painters, and other practitioners, the international roster includes both established and emerging artists, those who have long worked in ceramic, and those coming to the medium afresh.

The works in “Makers and Modelers” represent a variety of styles, textures, scales, and approaches to ceramic, some departing from the artist’s previous work, while others strive to promote a sense of continuity with other media. As the title of the exhibition suggests, the works in the show are either hand-built or constructed, stem from unexpected source materials, and expand upon sensibilities normally associated with other media. Sometimes paired with other substances, the works in the show emphasize process and question the relationships between objecthood and material. No longer just the vessels and other earthenware historically associated with the medium, the works in the exhibition play off or depart from established formal and technical precedents of ceramics. A fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by Klaus Kertess will accompany the exhibition.

Art Reviews of Makers and Modelers: Works in Ceramic

New York Times September 7, 2007

Roberta Smith

"...But you have to admire a show that can keep its dignity while ranging from the cool-handed late-Conceptualist Sam Durant (plastic lawn chairs cast in porcelain with delicate chinoiserie glazes) to the neo-Neo-Expressionist Jonathan Meese, with his supposedly wild and crazy busts. The show’s stylistic and physical scope defines ceramics as a commodious, seductive medium with fairly firm limits. But it is also a great leveler of aesthetic differences...."
