Timeline

2019

Shechet is a sculptor working in a range of materials, including wood, ceramics, paper-making, porcelain, and clay. Shechet has said of her work, "Everybody wants to be able to tell a quick story, but I do not want to make something that fits into a few sentences. I don’t want it to have a punchline.” Shechet's early work was influenced by Buddhism, evident in the way it exhibited states of transformation and Buddhist subject matter. In the early 1990s, Shechet made a series of plaster sculptures. The lumpy works, supported by industrial and found objects, and incorporating Buddhist iconography, evolved into a family of Buddhas. In 1996 Shechet was invited to work at the Dieu Donné Papermill in New York. During her residency she created handmade, paper blueprints of stupas as well as paper vessels. Shechet continues to work with paper, implementing a hybrid approach by manipulating paper pulp in a similar fashion to clay. Her recent body of colorful paper works, completed in 2012, reveal her commitment to materials and the mold.

Solo museum exhibitions of Shechet’s work include the RISD Museum, Providence in 2014; the Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro, in 2012; the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas in 2012; The Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, Saratoga Springs, NY in 2009; and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver in 2009. A twenty-year survey of her work opened at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston in June 2015. Shechet is the first living artist to have an exhibition at the Frick Collection, New York, which was on view in 2016–2017. She had an exhibition at The Phillips Collection, DC, in 2016–2017.

In 2017, Shechet was commissioned to create a sculpture for the collection of the Jewish Museum in New York City. The work, Travel Light, references her family's experience of migration to the United states. Two years later, in 2019, Shechet contributed to an audio tour for the Jewish Museum, where she discusses the process of creating her work. In 2018, Shechet was commissioned by Madison Square Park Conservancy to create a monumental site-specific installation for the Park, which was on view from view from September 25, 2018, through April 28, 2019.

2016

2013

In 2013 for The New York Times, Roberta Smith described Shechet's work as combining painting and sculpture "with exuberant polymorphous, often comic results", and noted the variety of glazed surfaces on the vessels in her exhibition Slip, at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. A New Yorker capsule review compared the work in this same exhibition to those of the ceramic artist and printmaker Ken Price. Shechet has also cited references as diverse as Elie Nadelman, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Jim Nutt, and Umberto Boccioni.

2012
