"Eat Clay or DIE!" Exhibition
The Jane Hartsook Gallery
This event has ended.
The bakery is open! But watch out - these goodies are baked at thousands of degrees and they're not as sweet as they look.
Greenwich House Pottery is pleased to present the exhibition ‘Eat Clay or Die!’ in our Storefront Gallery (May 12th - June 6th). This exhbition, which transforms the window of our 1928 red-brick building into a faux bakery, is co-curated by GHP Resident Artist Susannah Tisue and GHP Member Artist Michele Quan. Strolling down Jones Street, a quiet block in the West Village, you discover a shop window filled with mouth-watering sweets: trays upon trays of pastries, cakes and candies stimulate the taste buds and promise a moment of delicious fulfillment. "Must go inside," you think to yourself. But further investigation reveals that the sweets are all made of clay, as hard and unyielding as a rock. Here, dozens of artists working out of Greenwich House Pottery have collaborated on a mouth-watering trompe l’oeil installation.
