East Meets West: A More Conceptual Take on Cross-Cultural Currents
April/May 2010
From Gallery & Studio by Byron Coleman
The title “East Meets West,” for a group show curated by Marilyn Stevenson, at New Century Artists Gallery, 530 West 25th Street, might lead one to expect the usual cross-cultural mélange. But in fact the exhibition, from April 20 through May 1 presents eight conceptually complex interpretation of a theme with multiple meanings.
…By contrast, Setha Low’s figures in metal and ceramic command space with their sensual contours, even when presented like fragments from antiquity, as in the realist torso “Bronze Gaze.” Low’s pieces project an impressive monumentality reminiscent of Qin dynasty terra cotta sculptures.
Process: The Workshop Show
June 9th, 2009
From The East Hampton Star
Continued forward movement, a series of actions or measures, or a method of operation all define “process” for a group of artists in a multimedia exhibit curated by Dennis Leri. “Process: The Workshop Show” will open at Ashawagh Hall in Springs on Saturday at noon, with a reception later that day from 4 to 8 p.m.
Betty Lipton, Setha Low, Elise Platt, Gabriele Raacke, Catherine Silver, and Rose Zelenetz will “reverse the usual presentation of completed work and instead reflect on procedures and transformations in their individual mediums.”
Drawing upon energy generated in the workshop setting, and with the encouragement of Mr. Leri, the artists dispensed with the goal of a “finished product” and allowed for a “synergy to emerge” through mixed-media works that range from ceramic, metal, and wood sculpture to collages of found objects, glass, and natural fibers with paint and ink.

From The East Hampton Star: “Moving from Culture to Clay” by Rachael Blatt
The morning before Setha Low’s show opened at the Crazy Monkey Gallery in Amagansett, the sculptor and newcomer to the East End art scene arrived at the gallery with a trunk-load of clay pots, ceramic bodices, and wall hangings all suggestive of ancient cultures, but strikingly modern in their form.
