Co:Operation Tableware

What is this exhibition about ?

An exhibition featuring work by pairs of artists who cooperatively create a set of tableware (functional or nonfunctional.) To be exhibited at Fancy Gallery, Seattle during the SNAG conference 2011.

Why tableware? Eating requires the systematic use of a variety of serving tools- from flatware to dinnerware to serveware. Many functional serving elements combine each time we sit down to enjoy a meal. A cup and a saucer, a knife and a fork, a soup bowl and a spoon, diverse items work hand in hand at the breakfast or dinner table.

Can two artists create cooperatively too? Can two artists who typically work in different media (metal, paper, plastic, Cad Cam, enamel, ceramics, glass, wood, polymers etc.) create a set of objects that when combined allow for a meaningful function at the table?

This exhibition would like to show how two individual makers develop a tableware set together. These objects can work together, respond to one another, converse between each other, or work dependently with one another.

We are looking for work that has been developed by artists from a variety of craft backgrounds. The goal of the exhibition is to show where the influence of each individual artist ends, and FLOWS into the creative sphere of the team, thus picking up on the SNAG conference theme FLUX (Flux as a Process.) The end result will be an exhibition of items (or sets) on which both artists worked cooperatively, and that complement each other in their function (e.g.: ladle and gravy bowl, fork and knife, pots and pans, cup and saucer, etc.) or one piece on which both artists worked cooperatively (bowl, pepper mill, plate etc.)

Sue: You can submit as many as you like, it just needs to be clear from the submission how many separate submissions there are so that the jury knows what to look for and how the pieces need to be grouped. Especially important of course, because each submission can consist of just 1 item, a set of 2 or more items. :-))
Comment by Sue Amendolara on October 16, 2010 at 6:07pm
Hi Brigitte, How many pieces can each team of artists submit?
Comment by Brigitte Martin on October 15, 2010 at 11:43am
IMPORTANT announcement re return shipping:

We heard from a few artists who consider creating fairly large pieces for Coop Tableware. We love that, of course, but we also need to be fair to the gallery exhibiting the work, as understandably the cost of potentially return shipping those pieces to the artists could be quite high.

Fancy Gallery, Sarah and I would like to let everyone know that there will be a cap on the amount the gallery is able to spend on return shipping. This cap has been established at $40 per package. With a generous amount like this, most artwork will be covered in full for return shipping. Those teams thinking about heavier furniture and such items will have to take the shipping costs into consideration, please.

Craig: The cost for entry is $15 (by check, cc or paypal) per team submission. Once you download the submission form you'll see the relevant details on how to go about this. B.

I think I am missing something...sigh! What is the cost for entry?
Comment by Kathleen Faulkner on September 27, 2010 at 6:49pm
Thanks for the information, Brigitte. It should be a great show!
Comment by Renee Rouillier on September 27, 2010 at 5:56pm
I'm a non-sang person and if anyone is looking someone to collaborate with I'm interested, I thought I signed up already, but obviously not. I work in clay. Look at my work and let me know. Thanks
Comment by Mary Jarvis on September 27, 2010 at 5:06pm
Jo Preston and I are collaborating on two pieces that combine glass and metal.
