Pedro Ramirez

two Week Curated Artist in Residence, Fall 2019

Visual artist and educator Pedro Ramirez, based in Brooklyn, NY, blends art and science with his vegetation-sprouting “living” pottery. His research explores the relationship between people and living plants. He currently teaches ceramics at Marymount Manhattan College, and is adjunct assistant professor at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn, where he teaches art history.   

He worked on several projects during his time at OSGF, including harvesting local clay for sculptures, asking legacy employees to create clay pieces of their own and reflect on what the land means to them, researching the medicinal uses of invasive weeds, and installing a fake grass landscape on OSGF’s landing strip.
