Itty S. Neuhaus, Stephen Pace Artist in Residence
September 21 – November 21, 2024
Hudson D. Walker Gallery
with the support of The Stephen and Palmina Pace Foundation
The Hudson D. Walker Gallery, with the support of the Stephen and Palmina Pace Foundation, is transformed into an eight-week residency workspace for mid-career artists.
We are excited to host and welcome Itty S. Neuhaus, a multi-media artist and educator. Prior to joining us as our 2024 Stephen Pace Artist in Residence, Neuhaus spent two seasons in Provincetown as a Fine Arts Work Center Visual Arts Fellow (1991-1992, 1992-1993 ). Neuhaus is also a member of FAWC’s Visual Arts Committee.
About the Artist
Itty S. Neuhaus is a multi-media artist and educator that addresses change in nature. She is Associate Professor of Art at the State University of New York at New Paltz. Awards include two Fulbright Fellowships. On the Fulbright Arctic Initiative over 3 weeks on the Labrador Sea she observed changes to icebergs. She has attended over 20 residencies including MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and most recently Tau Hau Tan in Anhui Province, China. Solo shows include Stadthaus Ulm, Germany, University of Oulu, Finland, and in New York City, at the SculptureCenter, Black and White Gallery and Kentler International Drawing Space.
Itty Neuhaus has recently returned from a research trip to China and is excited to use the residency to work on her art, inspired by the landscapes of both China and Cape Cod. Neuhaus plans to focus on the themes of verticality and human passage from her time in China and draw inspiration from the dunes and the meeting of sand and sea in Provincetown. While in the Yellow Mountains of China, Neuhaus intends to create “Portraits of Mountains” by conducting extensive research on the area’s geology, flora and fauna, local myths, and ecological threats. This will be followed by high-resolution photography and the creation of large-scale panoramic prints.
Neuhaus uses a unique scratching technique called “scratch-berg” to add a new dimension to the images, reflecting her perspective on the landscape and her place in the world. The residency holds personal significance for Neuhaus as it marks a significant point in her artistic journey. She also has a history of engaging the public through workshops and educational projects and plans to continue this practice by leading workshops for the new Fellows and the larger public and organizing events such as a slide slam and full moon dune hike.
