SUMMARY:Re-Union: Syd Carpenter\, Martha Jackson Jarvis\, Judy Moonelis\, Sana Musasama\, and Winnie Owens Hart
DESCRIPTION:“Re-Union” brings together the works of Syd Carpenter\, Winnie Owens Hart\, Martha Jackson Jarvis\, Judy Moonelis\, and Sana Musasama. Each of these artists played a significant role in shaping American art–and the field of ceramics–during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Syd Carpenter’s large-scale clay and metal works investigate the complex history of African Americans and farming\, from slavery to the present day. Winnie Owens Hart’s pioneering use of traditional African ceramic techniques and forms engage with contemporary issues concerning race\, identity\, and gender. Martha Jackson Jarvis’s monumental mixed media pieces explore African American and Native American spirituality\, ecological concerns\, and histories. Judy Moonelis’s intricate multimedia installations probe the intersections of art and science\, drawing inspiration from neuroscience and anatomy and relating the human body to a variety of architectural contexts. Sana Musasama’s constructions of glass\, organic materials\, and clay are rooted in her global activist and educational endeavors in women’s/human rights.

SUMMARY:Raised Earth
DESCRIPTION:Raised Earth\nEric Firestone Gallery is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition of the internationally recognized ceramic artist Sana Musasama. The exhibition will be a dynamic installation of Musasama’s formative House series: vertically stacked ceramic sculptures\, like abstracted small-scale temples\, exploring multicultural connections to home and community. The work is inspired by the artist’s time living in adobe houses in West Africa in the mid-1970s\, her recurrent travel to Cambodia\, and time spent in the American West. \nHouse Series #15\, 2023ceramic \nThe slab-formed ceramics are multi-planar\, touched and textured structures with deep color areas and repeated oval shapes that can be read variously as eyes\, leaves\, or vaginal forms. They are etched with intricate sgraffito marks suggesting body adornment\, weavings\, flora\, and fauna. Elements extend from the planes: rings suggesting jewelry and grids like open baskets or seed pods. In her House series\, Musasama uses both earthenware and stoneware and accomplishes her vivid colors through various ceramic glazes\, often finishing her works with salt or soda firing to create exquisite surfaces that contrast with the red-brown clay she prefers. \nMusasama first began her House series in the late 1970s\, and they were the subject of a 1985 exhibition at the Studio Museum\, following her 1983–84 residency with the museum. She decided to revisit these works 45 years later\, creating what she called “siblings” to the original works in response to the isolation of 2020. Over the past two years\, the artist has worked across the globe to create about twenty significant new House sculptures. This will be the first time work from the two periods are joined into a solo\, survey exhibition.

SUMMARY:Sana Musasama: Returning to Ourselves
DESCRIPTION:Sana Musasama is a ceramic artist based in Queens\, New York. Musasama received her BA from City College of New York in 1973 and \nReturning to Ourselves 2024 \nher MFA from Alfred University in 1988. She began traveling in the 1970s as a way to recover her own identity and cultural place. Clay was the geographical catalyst that brought her first to West Africa\, where she studied pottery with the Mende People in Sierra Leone (1974-75). She later ventured to Japan\, China\, South America\, and Cambodia. She has expanded her interests to tribal adornment practices in various Indigenous cultures. She is challenged by the concerns surrounding the safety of women\, specifically the rituals involving rites of passage\, female chastity and the “purification” of the female body.

SUMMARY:(MOSTLY) WOMEN (MOSTLY) ABSTRACT PT. II
DESCRIPTION:Eric Firestone Gallery is pleased to announce the second iteration of (Mostly) Women (Mostly) Abstract\, a sweeping two-part exhibition across its East Hampton and New York City locations with a cross-generational group of artists. The exhibition focuses on abstraction and represents aesthetic conversations over time between contemporary artists and represented gallery artists and estates. \n(Mostly) Women (Mostly) Abstract shows how content is embedded in abstraction. The work on view reflects multiculturalism\, daily life\, and domesticity\, and employs references to sound\, language\, and place. The exhibition showcases artists who haven’t always operated in the center of the art world\, but who charted a deeply personal path\, and utilized experimental techniques\, materials\, and processes.  \nIn broad terms\, the exhibition considers the condition of “otherness” as manifest in abstraction\, in terms of ethnicity\, race\, gender\, and sexual orientation. The exhibition reflects Eric Firestone Gallery’s central mission: to examine the ever-expanding canon of Post-War painting and sculpture in New York.

SUMMARY:Behold
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE EXHIBITION  \nWelancora Gallery is proud to present BEHOLD\, featuring work by Oasa DuVerney\, Sana Musasama\, Komikka Patton\, Roberto Visani and Chris Watts from October 2\, 2021 – January 31\, 2022. Through personal and collective memories and lived experiences\, the exhibition examines alternative ways to interrogate notions of Blackness through work that is either devoid of the figure or\, where the figure is present\, the gaze is cued away from the body. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS  \nOasa DuVerney signals elements from nature\, including waves\, snakes and mountains to explore the ways in which Black power and Black bodies exist in contemporary society. Most of DuVerney’s work is social and political commentary that relates to her social status as a \nwoman of color and as a working-class person. Her works are mainly figurative drawings\, specifically graphite on paper. DuVerney received her B.F.A from the Fashion Institute of Technology\, and her M.F.A from Hunter College. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn\, New York. \nSelected exhibitions\, residencies and media include: BLACK POWER WAVE\, BRIC\, Brooklyn\, NY (2019); 2019 Women To Watch\, NMWA (2019); TV Guide Spring/Break Art Show\, United Nations Plaza NYC (2019); Something To Say\, Brooklyn Museum\, Brooklyn NY (2018); The Window and the Breaking of the Window\, Studio Museum in Harlem\, NYC (2016); The Brooklyn Biennial II\, BRIC\, Brooklyn\, NY (2016); Through A Glass Darkly\, Postmasters Gallery\, NYC (2012); Rush Philanthropic Foundation Artist Residency (2016)\, Smack Mellon Studio Artist Residency (2014-2015); LMCC Workspace Residency (2012-2013); Brooklyn Foundation Grant (2016); The Guardian UK\, UK (2019)\, The Independent\, UK (2016)\, Hyperallergic (2015\, 2016)\, The Guardian UK\,UK (2015)\, Palestine News Network (2013)\, and The New York Times (2012\, 2011). \nSana Musasama is an African-American ceramic and mixed-media artist based in New York City. Her work touches on themes related to tribal adornment practices in various indigenous cultures\, and the safety of women. In We were there\, 1993 from her Maple Trees series\, Musasama draws inspiration from the Maple Tree Movement\, which was started in the 1790s by a group of abolitionists. The group advocated ending the need for slave labor to fuel the sugar cane industry on West Indian sugar plantations\, by replacing it with syrup from maple trees. Made using various clay bodies that resemble trees with organic and bodily extensions of stone\, beads and moss\, the work is scaled to the human body ranging in size from 3.5 to over 5 feet.

SUMMARY:More Than That: Diversity within Diversity
DESCRIPTION:Guest curator Roberto Lugo knows the frustration of being artistically pigeonholed by the color of his skin. More Than That: Diversity within Diversity brings together artists of color working in a multiplicity of genres and forms that defy cultural expectations frequently imposed upon artists of color. Lugo explains\, “the artists invited not only represent artists of color currently working in ceramics\, but the diversity of discourse taking place within our communities.” Presented currently with the 53rd annual NCECA conference in Minneapolis\, Minn.\, this exhibition embodies Claytopia’s conception of a “restless yearning for a more livable\, just and meaningful world.” Exhibiting artists include Syd Carpenter\, Morel Doucet\, Ezenwa\, Courtney Leonard\, Roberto Lugo\, Malcolm Mobutu Smith\, Sana Musasama\, Autumn Wallace\, and Diego Valles. \nCreating socially engaged work\, these artists push the field of ceramics to participate with the communities in which artists find themselves.

SUMMARY:Visual Voices: Truth Narratives
DESCRIPTION:Visual Voices: Truth Narratives is a NCECA ANNUAL EXHIBITION. Guest curator Winnie Owens-Hart has invited artists Syd Carpenter\, Roberto Lugo\, Sana Musasama\, Reginald Pointer\, and Janathel Shaw to frame the curatorial concerns of Visual Voices: Truth Narratives. 37 selected ceramic artists create powerful works that speak in a variety of visual volumes that touch on personal and global issues and emotions. Their narratives\, whether literal or abstract\, acknowledge that intolerance spawn racial\, religious\, class\, and gender biases in every part of the world. The sense of interconnectedness created by modern media has transformed what was once an ancestral community to now a global community. \nOur stories\, re-told in clay\, are borderless. Historically\, the narrative ceramic object has engaged with the retelling of events through visual imagery codification. Clay works dating back thousands of years have enabled archaeologists to theorize on ceremonial\, spiritual\, and utilitarian societal markers that document the social and cultural contexts of their makers’ communities. Makers have continued the creation of narrative works using clay. Contemporary narrative ceramic artists\, compared to their historical counterparts\, are visually bombarded through media systems. Some work is created based solely on the artist’s personal experiences while others are influenced by what they see through the media; many today are shaped by both. \nThe exhibition reception will be held on Thursday\, March 15\, 6 – 9 PM. \nExhibiting Artist includes:\nJesse Albrecht\, Crista Ames\, Natalia Arbelaez\, Sharif Bey\, Jill Birschbach\, David Bogus\, Abigale Brading\, Angelique Brickner\, Nora Brodnicki\, Jim Budde\, Syd Carpenter\, Bryan & Brad Caviness\, Sean Clute\, Tara Daly\, Matthew Dercole\, Yewen Dong\, Elhan Ergin\, Richard Freiwald\, Dennis Gerwin\, Ronnie Gould\, Jocelyn Howard\, Hsin-Yi Huang\, Stacey Johnson\, Marsha Karagheusian\, Ahrong Kim\, Rob Kolhouse\, Bethany Krull\, Roberto Lugo\, Patricia Maloney\, Sana Musasama\, Kelly & Kyle Phelps\, Reginald Pointer\, Kristine Poole\, Janathel Shaw\, Lydia Thompson. \n  \n\n\nVisual Voices: Truth Narratives is sponsored by National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA). Media sponsored by 90.5 WESA and 91.3 WYEP. (As of November 2017) \nNCECA promotes and improves the ceramic arts through education\, community-building\, research and creative inspiration. NCECA offers programs\, events and publications to support its membership of artists\, students\, individual and corporate patrons\, gallery owners\, museum curators and providers of ceramic arts-related products and services. As a dynamic\, member-driven organization\, NCECA is flexible in its program development\, international in its perspective and responsive to the changing needs of its constituency. \n\nIMAGE: David Bogus. Punk Necklace Series: Treat the Youth Right and Red\, White\, Brainwashed\, 2017.

SUMMARY:ArtPrize 8-Girl Soldiers
DESCRIPTION:From September 21 to October 9\, 2016\, Musasama’s “Girl Soldiers” series is in an ArtPrize 8 group show at Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids\, Michigan. Sculptures inspired by her late 1970s stay among the Mende in Sierra Leone are on display.  \n“The Mende people embraced me as if I were their child. The girls were responsible for educating me on village life and how to be safe. They taught me how to cook on hot stones\, wash my clothing in the river on river stones. They taught me their songs and showed me how to dance like a woman. They loved me as I loved them.  One day\, the elders simply told me\, ‘Sister Sana  you must return to your country\, we will not be able to protect you.’ I did not understand at the time\, but I can still see the seriousness and fear in their eyes. Soon after I left Mende Land\, a civil war ravaged the land and killed most of the people I loved.  I have often wondered what happened. I use to get letters and would read of horror after horror. One day the letters stopped\,” wrote Musasama in a crowdfunding campaign to pay for shipping expenses for the heavy art objects. She succeeded in reaching a $1000 goal\, and CrowdRise matched these funds.  At ArtPrize in 2015\, Musasama won its American Civil Liberties Union Award for her “Unspeakable” series installation about female genital mutilation\, work also based on her travels in Africa. \n\nHours of Operation \n\nMonday: 10 am – 8 pm\nTuesday: 10 am – 8 pm\nWednesday: 10 am – 8 pm\nThursday: 10 am – 8 pm\nFriday: 10 am – 8 pm\nSaturday: 12 pm – 8 pm\nSunday: 9 am – 6 pm

SUMMARY:After Afropolitan
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition tributes Africa’s vanguard legacy while peering at yet unchartered territories of experience and imagination in the African Diaspora. The exhibition asks How has “Afropolitan” crystallized aspects of our genius? What aspects of our experiences fall outside the Afropolitan gaze? And\, of course what comes next\, After Afropolitan? \nThis exhiibition features the work of Derrick Adams\, Folasade Adeoso\, Selam Bekele\, Ifeatuanya Chiejina\, Aisha Cousins\, Dennis R Darkeem\, Awol Erizku\, Salym Fayad\, Delphine Fuwunde\, Miatta Kawinzi\, Simone Leigh\, Glendalys Medina\, Sana Musasama\, Nontsikelelo Mutali\, Jamilla Okubo\, Valerie Piraino\, Zina Saro-Wiwa\, Sol Sax\, Laolu Senbajo\, Imani Shanklin\, Danny Simons\, Vaugn Spann\, Cosmo Whyte\, Murktarat Yussuff and more. \nAfter Afropolitan is a seductive exploration of the possible\, a documentation of the ongoing dialogue between the continent\, and her offspring. It locates the meta narratives and metaphors that transform individuals into hybrid-hyphenated global nomads pushing the boundaries of stereotype and expectations.

SUMMARY:Whispers And Echoes
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Angela Kim & Aisha Tandiwe Bell \nWhispers and Echoes ExhibitionOct 26-Nov 14  “The earth carries the memories built on the back of oppressed/unrepresented people and their buried bones throughout the world. At Ma Lai\, Vietnam\, I walk on the site of a massacre\, where the lives of hundreds of women and babies were taken in revenge. I touch the soil. At the Holocaust Museum\, I look at the hundreds of pairs of eyeglasses\, shoes gold-capped teeth\, and briefcases and I wonder who they belonged to. In Rwanda\, a young woman tells how she searched for her family at a mass burial site. I have worked in Cambodia for 8 years with young girls who were former sex slaves\, wondering who enslaved them and walked the killing fields\, with their fragments of what once were human beings. I have witnessed the burial of young girls who have suffered genital cutting.\n Will it every stop? These works are meant to slow us down\, make us look closely at our world\, silence us for the moment.” \nThe Unknown/Unnamed\, and The Unspeakable series address concerns with war\, displacement\, violence towards women\, poverty\, genocide and slavery. \nSana Musasama has traveled and exhibited extensively.Solo exhibitions include: Gallery 43\, Paris\, France; The Clay Art Center\, Port Chester\, New York; Dartmouth College\, Hanover\, New Hampshire; Nancy Dryfloss Gallery\, Union\, NJ; Meta House; Phnom Penh\, Cambodia; June Kelly Gallery\, NYC; Robert Hudges Gallery\, San Antonio\, TX; Swarthmore College\, PA; The Studio Museum in Harlem\, NYC \nResidencies include: Soaring Gardens\, PA; The Clay Art Center\, NY; Givat Haviva\, Israel; The Cite Des Arts\, France; Studio Exhibition Program at Dartmouth\, NH; The European Ceramic Center\, Holland; Wadastick Art Center\, Mexico; La Suerate Studio; Baltimore Clay Works; The Studio Museum in Harlem\, NY; Tuscarora International Institute \nVisitors will need to get a “guest pass” from the main entrance (next to the enormous black cube) at Hunter College on the corner of 68th St. and Lexington Ave. You may then use any entrance to reach the Thomas Hunter Project Space\, located in the basement of the Thomas Hunter Building. \nVisitation by appointment the weeks of October 26-November 14th also available. \n[wppa type=”slideonlyf” album=”14″ size=”auto” align=”center”][/wppa]
