The mid-century aesthetic has infiltrated everything from fashion to television (Mad Men, anyone?), and the Jane Harstook Gallery is taking notice. The gallery, part of
Greenwich House Pottery, opens its doors for a period installation showing tonight through February 4th.
Studio Pottery and Mid-Century Style takes the form of an entire 1950s room dropped into 2010, incorporating not only design from the era but also craft. Curator Sarah Archer says:
"This period in American history was a pivot point in design where tastemakers, designers, and consumers were both looking back and looking forward—seeking comfort in nostalgia and longing for something new. The design world reveled in an attraction to new technology, while the crafts signaled a longing for something more rustic and uncomplicated."
Head to the gallery from 6-8 pm tonight for an opening reception that includes period costumes, food, and drink.
