This year we thought we’d switch things up. It all started in September 2013 with our SExSE invitational residency (South East Alberta by South East Asia) and the talented Vipoo Srivilasa.
Vipoo challenged all of our residents to a spoon competition and we
were all hooked. The spoons created during this competition travelled
with Vipoo’s work to the Ceramic Top 40 exhibition at Red Star Studios
and are now off to Boston with his project OBJECT:SPOON.
As all this was happening we started seeing spoons everywhere. With
this object – that has gone in and out of fashion – making a serious
comeback in studio ceramics, we decided to extend the challenge to our
international invitational exhibition. Spoons are the New Cup!
DETAILS & IMPORTANT DATES
- Application Deadline: Monday, June 30, 2014
- Exhibition: September 1 – November 29, 2014
- Email Notification Begins July 15th, 2014
- Accepted Work Due August 15th, 2014
- Up to five entries accepted
- Submission Fee: $20.00 (CAD)
- All artists payments & sold/unsold work will be shipped in December 2014
- Opening reception TBA
So this year send us your SPOONS, your ladles, your scoops and your
servers. If a spoon is the feature of an object such as a soup tureen or
a larger set, send us your soup tureens and sets too. We want to see
what you come up with.
Not working in ceramics? No problem – this year we are opening it up
to our friends in other craft mediums too … clay, metal, glass, wood
& fibre.
We are very happy to be working again with the talented Musing About Mud
blogger and Canadian ceramic rockstar, Carole Epp. She will have the
hard task of Juror, narrowing down the entries and selecting the prize
winners.
Speaking of Prizes! Last year we partnered up with Medicine Hat
College, and together we gave away a free month long residency at
Medalta with accommodation to the Grand Prize winner KyoungHwa Oh. We can’t wait to have her in the studios this June … she makes some pretty great spoons too.
This year we will have purchases prizes for the Medalta contemporary
collection and several selected artists will be featured on the Musing
About Mud blog. For last years featured artists & Carole’s fabulous
coverage of the previous years show click here.
We’re cooking up even more prizes this year, we’ll update you here as
soon as they’re cemented.. but we’re definitely offering a June 2015
residency at Medalta as our grand prize!

NSCAD Port Loggia
Bridget Fairbank is a Nova Scotian food activist concerned about food, aren’t you? Edible Provisions is
a collection of cutting edge work from various Artists working in
various mediums that address how and what we eat today. The works
exemplify the complexities of our eating in an epoch where dinner is
dubious.
Curatorial Statement – Edible Provisions
It
has come to my attention that there are many artists making work about
food. These artists are actively questioning how we manufacture, grow,
procure and eat every day. There is a rich history to mine when it comes
to food relations sensual, domestic and industrial. I propose a call to
students and alumni who make such food oriented work for a group
exhibition: Edible Provisions. This past year I have seen ceramic
sculpture meat cuts hanging from rafters, portraits of people’s
fridges, pottery for the seasonal splendor and prints of farm machinery
that beckon questions of Cold War technology- all talk about our current
and crucial relation to food.
At
NSCAD now Sandra Alfoldy is teaching a seminar on craft and food a
marker of the relevancy of such an exhibition. Dine by Design is this
week, Hungry Bowls the next, Art and Food Activism are linked as ever.
We have the opportunity now to showcase such work going on at NSCAD. Edible Provisions
would bring together the many ideas, experiences and critiques of food
culture into a single exhibition space complicating the food
conversation in a dynamic visual manner.
The
use of the gallery space is highly dependent on the works submitted and
their individual requirements and group requirements, all will be
managed by me as curator/coordinator and all managed in such a way to
deepen the conversation about food and the facets there in embracing and
showcasing the many opinions we have in regards to food carnivores,
omnivores, vegans and vegetarians, fast foodies, foodies, industrialists
and small scale farmers alike. The intent of the exhibition to make us
think about food.
Please note: The
PortLoggia is an open space gallery that students have access to at
night with out security and in no way will I or NSCAD/AnnaLeonOwnes
Gallery be responsible for damage or theft, the gallery is however
equipped with 24hr video surveillance.
Shipping to and from the gallery will not be subsidized.
“I am very
excited about this show and know that so many of your blog readers make
work while thinking about food. As an odd side project to make the show
more feasible for non-Haligonians I’d be happy to accept mugs from your
readers and mail them a mug of mine in exchange at no cost. That way the
mug is displayed and in the show and becomes part of my collection as a
trade!” – Bridget
