by | Sep 25, 2011 | call for entry, emerging artist, job posting, monday morning eye candy, movie day, residency opportunity, show us your influences, technical tuesday

Gulf Coast State College Amelia Center Gallery is hosting a juried exhibition that explores the idea of the drinking vessel. The exhibition will focus on the function and concept of the drinking vessel, including its relation to history, politics, craft, technology, utility, and narrative. The exhibition will be a survey of the wide variety of approaches to contemporary ceramics through the lens of the most intimate and accessible vessel, the cup.

Juror
Linda Arbuckle is a professor at the University of Florida, Gainesville. Her work in majolica-glazed earthenware has been recognized through an Artists’ Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as a Florida Individual Artists’ Fellowship. Artist-in-residence positions in Wales and the People’s Republic of China have provided further balance of Eastern and Western resources in her works.

Eligibility
The exhibition is open to both functional and sculptural work that addresses the idea of “the cup”. Please submit only original work that has been completed in the last three (3) years. Amelia Center Gallery reserves the right to reject any work that is not suitably prepared for exhibition or that differs from the original submission.

Must see video: The Skulls of Derik Van Beers by the Perez Brothers

by | Sep 25, 2011 | Uncategorized


From the press release:
The Perez Brothers (www.perezbros.com) proudly present the modern ceramic art of Derik Van Beers in their artist profile film entitled, The Skulls of Derik Van Beers. Derik Van Beers’ Website: http://www.derikvanbeers.com/ Working exclusively with the primal image of the skull, the art of Van Beers is meant to provoke themes of lost innocence and to playfully remind viewers of their own mortality. In an effort to celebrate the emerging art scene in their hometown of Oakland California, the Perez Brothers have created a short film that simultaneously attempts to exhibit the finest techniques in both film and ceramics. Recently, the Perez Brothers have summed up The Skulls of Derik Van Beers as a “Morbidly optimistic examination of both life and art.”
Enjoy!
