Saturday, March 24, 2012 9:00-4:00
Sunday, March 25, 2012 10:00-4:00
Cost: $65 for AMOCA Members, $85 for Non-Members John Balistreri is an American ceramic artist best known for his large scale sculptures. He is currently an associate Professor of Art and the head of the ceramic art program at Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio, USA. During the summer of 1987, he returned to his studio in Denver and built a large Anagama kiln.[2] After graduate school, began to make large scale work that was wood-fired. He worked as a studio artist and occasionally taught ceramics at the University of Denver and Front Range Community College. In 1996, he joined the faculty of Bowling Green University, where he remains today. From 1998 to 2002, Balisteri worked with Peter Voulkos, assisting in creating and firing his final sculptures. Later, Balistreri toured and studied ceramics in China, Japan and Korea. In 2001 Balistreri began a body of work titled Problems in Sailing which includes airplane and boat forms. This body of work continued through his sabbatical in 2005, where he built large scale airplane forms at the Kaneko Experimental Workspace in Omaha, Nebraska. His Problems in Sailing series continues today. You can learn more about John on his website.

David S. East: Forehandedness in the Jane Hartsook Gallery
March 1 – March 29, 2012
Opening Reception: Thursday, March 1st, 6-8pm
Jane Hartsook Gallery at Greenwich House Pottery is pleased to present Forehandedness – new sculpture by Baltimore-based artist David S. East. For his first solo exhibition with this gallery, East has created monuments of dailiness, sculptures that combine ubiquitous ornamentation and serene pastels – at times uniting technology and woven fabric – offering a genealogy of cultural homogenization. East’s work is thoughtful however much the installation effortlessly transposes formalism and irony.
“The approach I have taken attempts to reflect on the monumental within the mundane, and seeks to bore out the middle of modernism to see its split-level by-products. The work rotates around these axes operating as much a strategy of thinking as of making.” -David S. East.
David S. East is Chair of Ceramics at the Maryland Institute College of Art. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in juried and curated exhibitions, most recently at the GICBiennale 2011, Icheon, Korea and has received numerous awards including an Individual Artist Award form Maryland State Arts Council, the Lighton Foundation and the McKnight Foundation.
