REMINDER – Call for entry – Sixth Annual Cup Show: Form and Function

Sixth Annual Cup Show: Form and Function

Deadline September 20th!
Gulf
Coast State College, Amelia Center Gallery is hosting a juried
exhibition that explores the idea of the drinking vessel. The exhibition
will focus on the function and concept of the drinking vessel,
including its relation to history, politics, craft, technology, utility,
and narrative. The goal is to offer a survey of the wide array of
approaches to contemporary ceramics through the lens of the most
intimate and accessible vessel, the cup.
Juror
Ben
Carter is a studio potter, educator, curator, and an avid podcaster. He
received his BFA from Appalachian State University, and MFA for the
University of Florida. Over the years he has been a resident artist at
The Odyssey Center for Ceramic Art, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, the
Archie Bray Foundation, and the Danish Ceramic Research Center at
Guldagergaard. He has worked as a production potter at Black Mountain
Studios, Asheville, NC, and most recently as Educational Director at
Pottery Workshop Shanghai, Shanghai, China. In 2004 Ben opened Carter
Pottery and has since been exhibiting widely across the US and abroad.
As an educator Ben has taught at a number of institutions around the
world including the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia,
Shanghai Institute of Visual Art, Shanghai, P.R.C. Jacksonville
University, Jacksonville, Fl, and Georgia Southern University,
Statesboro, GA. In 2012 Ben started his podcast Tales of The Red Clay
Rambler Podcast, which features insightful conversations about art,
studio practice, and culture with artists around the world.
