Deadline for entry (both electronic or by mail – no postmark): November 5
An exhibition featuring work by pairs of artists who cooperatively create a set of tableware (functional or nonfunctional.) To be exhibited at Fancy Gallery, Seattle during the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) conference 2011, and online at http://crafthaus.ning.com
This exhibition would like to show how two individual makers develop a tableware set together. These objects can work together, respond to one another, converse between each other, or work dependently with one another. Work should show where the influence of each individual artist ends, and FLOWS into the creative sphere of the team, thus picking up on the SNAG conference theme FLUX (Flux as a Process.)
This juried exhibition is an open call to all craft artists regardless of medium. Artists are asked to form partnerships based on interest in each other’s work, and diversity in craft technique/materials displayed. Cross-media and international relationships are strongly encouraged. Only one member of each pairing is required to be a current member of SNAG.
A website has been created to facilitate potential collaborations. If you are an artist (in any medium) who would like to connect with a SNAG member (and vice versa) can do so through this online connection service.

Metalsmith Brigitte Martin has joined up with Schiffer Publishing to develop a book about the role humor plays in contemporary craft, and they welcome your submissions in image, text, audio, and video.
What’s so funny? People of all ages and cultures respondto humor enthusiastically and
craft artwork definitely can be very funny ! Often, the work exudes a sense of the absurd due to exaggerated size
or by being executed in unusual materials. Craft artwork can be
highly ironic, political, sarcastic, or just plain amusing, and it
comes in a variety of media, such as metals, wood, fibers, ceramics,
glass, mixed media etc. Brigitte Martin has joined up with Schiffer
Publishing to develop a book about the role humor plays in
contemporary craft, and we welcome your submissions in image, text,
audio, and video!
They are looking for the following contributions: – images of humorous artwork,
-texts/essays by the contributing artists, commenting about humorous
aspects in their artwork,
– audio art
– video art (the book will contain a CD of audio/video art depending
on qualifying submissions)
– essays by writers about the role of humor and fun in craft.
Can you show us humor in all its shades expressed through craft
artwork and text ? Who decides what’s funny and what isn’t ? What
topics are off-limits ? Is irony funny ? Sarcasm ? Are politics
funny ? Religion ? This book aims to provide the viewer with
entertainment, commentary, and of course, many fine craft pieces by
makers from all over the world. Humorb has no borders. Or does it ?
It might be interesting to learn how a piece will be hilarious in
China, but only garner mild astonishment in Sweden andvice versa.
