life and work

Itty S. Neuhaus has been Associate Professor of Art at the State University of New York at New Paltz (SUNY New Paltz) since 2006 .

Neuhaus' work revolves around sources of natural forces that can be found underground, in the deep sea or in the air. It always begins with a photograph of a location, often in the Arctic . In further steps, she works out the selected location by diving, climbing or from an airplane or ship. Neuhaus' multimedia work is created through intensive observation and experience of such a place. It traces the effects of hidden forces that are changing planet earth in unexpected ways. Neuhaus' work includes videos, drawings, paintings, sculptures, room installations, performances and photography.

Since 1985 she has regularly spent several months as artist in residence , for example at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown , Massachusetts (1991 and 1992) or at the MacDowell Colony, Peterborough, New Hampshire , (1992, 2010, 2011). In 2000 she spent the summer at Strammür Art Colony, Hafnarfjörður , Iceland , and in 2011 she was Artist in Residence in Gros Morne National Park on the west coast of Newfoundland .

Since 1991 Neuhaus has presented her work in a large number of exhibitions, mainly in the USA with a focus on New York . In 1993 she received a One Year Studio Award from the Museum National Studio Program at MoMA PS1 and in 1994 the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant . In 1997 the Sculpture Center New York presented their exhibition A Bigger Container . Her work has also been presented in Italy (Museo Ebraico, Venice, 2003, and Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte, Venice, 2009), Germany ( Stadthaus Ulm , 2007) and Finland ( University of Oulu , 2016).

After receiving the Traditional Fulbright Scholar Award Current Shift: Shifting Perspectives in 2011 for a work stay in Newfoundland, Labrador and Canada , Neuhaus received a further scholarship from the Fulbright Program in 2015 as part of the Fulbright Arctic Initiative . She collaborated with engineers, marine biologists , geologists and a meteorologist who specialize in underwater robotics . This resulted in the work Monument to an Iceberg (2016) at the Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's, Canada, consisting of video (time-lapse), photography and performance. For this purpose, she also worked with the composer Andrea Clearfield, who supplemented the work with an electronic composition using sounds from the ice, recorded by Katie Paterson.

In 2018 Neuhaus was honored with the exhibition An Iceberg's Story at the Kentler International Drawing Space, Brooklyn , New York . After a residency program at Skaftfell Art Center in Seyðisfjörður in East Iceland, Itty Neuhaus presented her work in the same year alongside works by Bill Schuck and Helga Schuhr under the title Sublimation: Learning to Die in the Arctic at the Hammond Museum & Japanese Stroll Garden in North Salem , New York.

In early 2020 she took part in three exhibitions along the Hudson River at the same time, in the Hudson Valley Museum of Contemporary Art MoCA, Peekskill, in the Holland Tunnel ART Newburg ( 20/20 Vision together with 90 alumni from Brooklyn) and in the Krasdale Distribution Center in White Plains ( Influenced by Nature with Kazumi Tanaka and Deb Davidovits).

Itty Neuhaus is married to the American artist Bill Schuck.

German roots

Itty Neuhaus is a granddaughter of the Jewish pediatrician Hugo Neuhaus, who was born in Ellwangen in Swabia in 1885 , with his wife Marie Röschen, born in Laupheim , Germany. Siegheim and their two children Gottfried, born in Ulm in 1926, and Barbara, born in Ulm in 1928, emigrated from Germany in 1936. In his successful practice in Ulm he had also treated non-Jewish German children and was put under strong pressure by the Nazi- permeated city administration and the press. The life of Hugo Neuhaus is interwoven with that of his friend, the Art Nouveau artist Friedrich Adler , also from Laupheim, who was murdered by the Nazi regime in 1942 in Auschwitz-Birkenau . Hugo Neuhaus died in Freeport (New York) in 1959.

The contrary development of the fate of the two German Jewish families is always present in the now American Neuhaus family and was the reason for Neuhaus to deal with their German roots in the form of an art exhibition. Your exhibition in the town hall of Ulm in 2007 processed memories, traditions, artefacts from everyday family life and silverware designed by Friedrich Adler in room and video installations.

Susanna "Itty" Neuhaus-Schuck is the niece of Professor Barbara Neuhaus, who died in 2011 at the age of 82 and was formerly dean of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine at Columbia University .
