Exhibition Opens online and in the gallery May 1st. (midnight on April 30th)
“Containment IV: All Stars”,
our most anticipated exhibition of the year features 24 outstanding
nationally recognized ceramic artists interpreting the containment
theme. Our theme for Containment IV encompasses the the themes from the
first three years of “Containment” so artists may submit ceramic box
forms, ceramic containers with a related item inside or a ceramic piece
within a ceramic container. The possibilities are limitless! Over the
years we have encouraged participating ceramic artists to “think outside
the box” and we have always been rewarded with outstanding pieces
unique to our exhibition. Join us as we celebrate, explore and reinvent
the ceramic box!
Containment IV participating ceramic artists include:
Christa
Assad, Kenneth Baskin, Ashwini Bhat, Robert Briscoe, Lisa Clague,
Cristina Cordova, Judith Duff, Marty Fielding, Mary Fischer, Rachel K.
Garceau, Mark Hewitt, Nick Joerling, Ani Kasten, Kristen Kieffer, Myung
Jin Kim, Alex Matisse, Ron Meyers, Ben Owen III, Ronan Kyle Peterson,
Deborah Rogers, Tim Rowan, Shawn Spangler, Sam Taylor & Lana Wilson.
After several rounds of narrowing down, revisiting, heated debate, and in-depth discussion, even fisticuffs, the editors of Ceramics Monthly chose thirteen deserving artists for the 2013 Emerging Artists issue.
All of these talented artists have been pursuing a career in studio
ceramics for ten years or less, and their work stands at the forefront
of what is to come in our field.
Now it’s your turn to have a say by casting your vote in the “Emerging Artist People’s Choice Contest,” graciously sponsored by BigCeramicStore.com! The winner will receive a $500 gift certificate to be used at www.bigceramicstore.com.
So check out the artists and their work below and cast your vote (voting opens May 1, 2013) through the buttons below (or on the individual artists’ pages)!
This exhibition showcases the power of small-scale sculptural
works. Highlighting artworks no larger than 12 inches, but that possess
a much larger presence. Composed mainly of ceramic, with some mixed
media additions, these objects prove that something doesn’t have to be
huge to be monumental.
Requirements:
Artwork size is limited to 12 inches in any direction.
Use of Mixed media is allowed, but may not comprise more than 50% of the artwork.
Display possibilities include: pedestals, wall, hanging from the ceiling or as an installation.
Postmark Deadline: May 10, 2013
