Joan Bankemper

	Joan Bankemper Joan Bankemper is an American artist living and working in New York City. Her early 'social practice' or site specific garden/art installations blurred the boundaries of art and life. Bankemper is a 'situationist' and her ceramics are artifacts of a situation. In a 1994 review by Roberta Smith of The New York Times, Smith wrote "Bankemper is a veteran creator of idiosyncratic gardens, often portable. She is especially adept at recycling broken crockery and flowerpots into fantastical planters that are homages to Gaudi and Simon Rodia." Early life and education Joan Bankemper was born and raised in Covington, KY in 1959. She earned a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1982 and an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1985.
