NAOMI YASUI, CHAPTER XI : VASES
July 12th-July 18th | Vernnisage Thursday July 18th, 7-10pm
For one night only, Toronto-based ceramic artist Naomi Yasui presents
Chapter XI: Vases,
an exhibition of porcelain vases, floral arrangements and still-life
watercolour paintings. This presentation marks the culmination of a
seven-day performance conducted in the gallery space.
A devotee to the early 20th century floral designer
Constance Spry and a compulsive maker, Yasui’s handmade porcelain vases
are the wellspring for her performance. Each day, for seven days, a
different vase will be called upon to inspire both a floral arrangement
and a still-life watercolour painting. Joining Yasui in painting will
be guest artists Heather Goodchild and Lisa DiQuinzio. The staging and
study of these vases and botanicals is intentionally provocative, as it
brings into a contemporary art setting a series of activities once
defined as ‘feminine’ or ‘leisure pursuits’.
Beginning on Friday, July 12th, the performance can be
viewed from the street, but the gallery will be closed to the public.
The artist invites you to witness the completion of the performance on
Thursday July 18th from 7-10pm.
To schedule an appointment please contact either Katharine Mulherin (Director) or Naomi Yasui (Artist).
Naomi Yasui is a Toronto-based ceramic artist, working
in sculpture, performance and installation, her conceptual practice
revolves around process, form, and happenstance. Yasui is co-creator of The Wardens Today with Heather Goodchild. She has exhibited in Canada and internationally.

The artist wishes to gratefully acknowledge support from the Ontario Arts Council.

The application is now live through August 5th for the November 30th, 2013 show. You can visit the website for further details.
It
is free to apply for Art vs. Craft. The on-line application period is
open from July 8- August 5th, 2013. All applications must be filled out
in entirety online to be considered, no exceptions. Due to the amount of
applicants each year AVC does not consider any late applications under
any circumstances. AVC is a juried show, but it’s not necessary to have
an established business or to even have selling experience to apply.
However, we are interested in professionalism and select vendors based
upon their uniqueness and quality of work reflected in their
application.
WHAT TYPE OF VENDORS ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
The
shoppers who come to our event seem to be interested in predominantly
purchaseing work between $15-$200. If this isn’t your retail price
range AVC may not be a good fit for you. We accept applications for
clothing, jewelry, ceramics, household items, toys, stationery, bath and
body, handbags, plush, paintings, prints, ornaments and the best kind
is things we don’t even know exist yet. If you are curious what type of
work has been at past AVC events there are a number of photos from past
events here.

Handmade
from Ryan Buller on Vimeo. Handmade is the story of the passion and intimacy that handmade products hold. Following through a blacksmith, ceramicists, and a custom cafe bike builder, we get to understand why, despite technological advances, we still make things from scratch by hand.
