The eighth annual Cup: The Intimate
Object exhibition will open at midnight tonight on the Charlie Cummings
Gallery website. This year the show features over 500 cups by nearly 100
artists. The artists sent truly excellent cups this year, making this
exhibition among the most outstanding collections of drinking vessels I
have seen in one place.
As
the most intimate of ceramic objects, the humble cup possesses the
unique ability to transform our daily experience. A favorite mug or
tumbler rests perfectly in our grip, warming the hands in winter or
delivering that cool draft we so crave after a workout or on a hot
summer day. The right cup reminds us that the experience of drinking is
special, and that the moment is worth savoring.
This
year’s show includes an exciting diversity of cups, from the bonanza of
sprightly color in Linda Arbuckle’s majolica and Gillian Parke’s
decaled yunomi to the earth tones of Jack Troy’s and Simon Levin’s wood
fired porcelain. Subject matter ranges from that of Chandra DeBuse’s
humorous animal figures, to Ehren Tool’s challenging sculptural cups, to
the beautiful and ironic goldfish of Yoko Sekino-Bove’s Fragile
Immortality Series. Cups by talented young artists rub handles with
those by mainstays of contemporary pottery. I can’t crow enough about
how impressed I am by all their work.
See the show online and find a new beloved friend after midnight tonight at
Claylink.com.

Ceramics Now Exhibition / Galateea Gallery, Bucharest, Romania
International contemporary ceramics exhibition, 3rd edition
November 8-26, 2012
www.ceramicsnow.org/exhibition
The international Ceramics Now Exhibition is an itinerary exhibition of contemporary ceramics which presents works of artists that are featured in Ceramics Now Magazine’s platforms or are invited. The exhibition reunites artists from different countries and communities, and facilitates contact between them and the public. Ceramics Now Magazine and Exhibition operate as an exchange platform between artists, galleries, museums, collectors and people passionate about art.
In the context of the globalization of arts and of rapid exchange of information, it is more and more necessary to make a serious coagulation of what is contemporary ceramics. The incorporation of many diverse subjects, working techniques and mediums in creating a ceramic object, are more and more frequent, risking if not counterbalanced, to take this domain back to crafts. The harmony between the compositional elements and concept can be realized through exercise, and this exercise is a reference point for contemporary artists. In creating a contemporary ceramic object, an equilibrium can be reached by those who feel the need to create and who create with depth. Originating either from Australia, Africa, Europe, Asia or America, practice, delicacy and accuracy are characteristics that unite them. The Ceramics Now Exhibition reunites these artists and brings their work together aiming to create an open platform between them and the public. The third edition of our main event will be held between 8-26th of November 2012, at Galateea Gallery, Bucharest, and will present the works of 22 world-renowned contemporary ceramic artists.
Opening Reception: Thursday, November 8, from 6:00 PM.
EXHIBITING ARTISTS: Steve Belz (USA), Gherghina Costea (Romania), Kimberly Cook (USA), Ossama Mahmoud Emam (Egypt), Nato Eristavi (Georgia), Jason Hackett (USA), Teresa and Helena Jané (Portugal), Brian Kakas (USA), Yoichiro Kamei (Japan), Kentaro Kawabata (Japan), Allison Luce (USA), Nicolae Moldovan (Romania), Akio Niisato (Japan), Heide Nonnenmacher (Germany), Szilvia Ortlieb (Austria), Barbara Schmid (Austria), Avital Sheffer (Australia), Suzanne Stumpf (USA), Kouzo Takeuchi (Japan), Shinya Tanoue (Japan), Kwok-Pong Bobby Tso (China), Gavril Zmicală (Romania).

Coordinator: Cristina Popescu Russu
