Alright guys it’s that time in which I start to get annoying by reminding you daily to get your applications in for the Medalta International Cup Show.

If you’ve ever met me, you’ll know that I speak very highly of the Medalta Artist in Residence program. These are some amazing folks doing great stuff and its so nice to see an internationally recognized residency program so close to my home.

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.

November 1 –
December 31
Water is everywhere. As abundant as an ocean and as delicate as a
drop, water is the source of all life. This eternally human need
consistently shifts the way we build our tools, our cultures and our
lives. Historically speaking, water has become a dictator of form, an
aesthetic inspiration, a human habit and an honest informer of the
ecological state of our world. In this exhibit, contemporary ceramic
artists will address the theme of water through the form of the ceramic
cup.
Source • Material: An exhibition on Water and the Ceramic Cup will run from November 3rd through December 31st.
Curated by Lindsay Rogers.
Artist Reception: Nov. 3rd at 6pm
Participating artists include:
Adam
Field, Adam Posnak, Amy Smith, Andrew Avakian, Audrey Rosulek, Ben

Thanks to Lindsay Rogers for the following preview of a few selected pieces and her thoughts on their inclusion in the show:
When selecting the artists for the show it was important to me that a variety of styles of work be presented.
These are a just a couple of the MANY wonderful pieces from the show!
Chandra Debuse
I chose Chandra Debuse’s work because of their outright playful
demeanor! I knew she would come up with something wonderful through her
amazing use of color and narrative on her pots.
Natalie Tornatore
I chose Natalie Tornatore’s work because I appreciate the soft
quality of her forms and her talent for breaking up space on a vessel. I
thought her graphic use of line and a muted palette would be a
wonderful addition to the show.
Diana Fayt
I chose Diana Fayt’s work because of the drawing quality and her
vibrant use of color. Her work often showcases beautiful and stylized
imagery from nature and I thought this would lend itself perfectly to
the theme.
