Clay Forum 2015 at NYU
Empty Bowls in Providence and Dues are Due
Please discuss at the upcoming meeting
Dues are Due!!
From Ragnar: Note I received from John at start of February. They have decided they can’t take on the full case but I have sent them digital images of it as well as three of our poster formats to show.
They have the AMERICAN ARTIST article for information which is sufficient.
--------------------------------
We spoke years ago about the great cubbie that the Brooklyn Potters used to display
and sell Empty Bowls.
We are organizing the 25th anniversary exhibition that will take place
next spring in Providence, perfectly timed to be open when NCECA holds their conference
Working Together/Everyone Eats:
25 years of The Empty Bowls Project
March 24 to July 2, 2015
Johnson and Wales University
Culinary Arts Museum
Providence, RI
We want to acknowledge the cubbie that your organization created and explain how it
was utilized. Space allowing (which at this point is a big question) we would like to re-create the
display and fill it will bowls as a way of providing ideas to the exhibition visitors. If we do not
have the room, we will create a text panel with a photograph and explanation.
Could you provide me with the dimensions of the display unit? I have a great photo and
can figure out the proportions of the individual spaces but would like it to be as close to the
original as possible. If we can actually build and display it, we will fill it with bowls. These bowls
will not be for sale. They will remain in the exhibition the entire time it is open. It is our intention
to provide these bowls. However, if it seems important to you and your colleagues to actually
use bowls from your organization, we would welcome that. We just did not want to presume that
your group would want to provide so many bowls. Any bowls we do receive can be donated to
our organization for use following the exhibition or they can be returned once the show closes.
All of that would be up to your fellow potters there.
I spoke with Lynn Goodman and she explained that she believed the display unit is not
being used currently. If that is the case and you could loan it to us for the exhibition, that would
work well for us. Again, that would be entirely up to your group.
Just let me know how we might proceed. The display unit was a great idea and we want
to share the concept as best we can.
