Earthlings is an exhibition of visionary ceramic sculpture and works
on paper, produced both individually and collaboratively, by seven
contemporary artists. Otherworldly, surreal, magically figurative, and
underpinned by complex narratives, the works in this exhibition are the
products of a range of deeply personal practices that are informed by
idiosyncratic realities and myths, real and imagined spaces, sensuality,
and spirituality.
Ashoona (Cape Dorset), Boyle (Toronto), and the ceramic artists of
Matchbox studio in Rankin Inlet share a handcrafted, intuitive approach
to transformative imagery that is as sympathetic as it is culturally
distinct. The exhibition will feature recent and landmark works by each
artist as well as collaborative explorations, including sculptures
produced in September 2016 by Pierre Aupilardjuk, Shary Boyle, and John
Kurok while in residence at the extraordinary Medalta in Medicine Hat.

Cheers @ Medalta
September 1st– November 30th, 2016.
Medalta’s Yuill Family Gallery
Opening Reception- Thursday September 1st 6-8pm
We are excited to share our Medalta International Exhibition, “Cheers @ Medalta,”
with you! This year, as we launched the call for submissions on St.
Patrick’s Day at NCECA’s (National Council on Education for the Ceramic
Arts) 50th anniversary celebration, we felt there was no better theme
than celebratory drinking vessels!
It
has been great to see so many varied submissions from around the world
in ode to celebratory drinking vessels. In the end we had over 430 works
submitted which our juror, Robin DuPont, had the difficult task of
narrowing down into 140 pieces for the exhibition. Along with jurying
the exhibition, Robin will be selecting the grand prize winner of a month long residency at Medalta with accommodation!
If you can’t make it to the reception join Medalta on Instagram, where we will be posting live from the opening and announcing the grand prize and purchase prize winners.
The
International Exhibition is one of our biggest and most anticipated
exhibitions of the year, and this year will be no exception. The
celebratory drinking vessels we have received from all over the world
are a must see, and the best part is… if you see something you like,
it’s yours to purchase!
Online shop opens September 2nd at 12pm MST. medalta.org/cheers
