The Cup
It鈥檚 small and approachable. It fits in your hand, and you put it to your mouth. It鈥檚 one of the first forms an artist learns to make while working on the potter鈥檚 wheel because it is one of the simplest shapes to create. However, the more you use a cup, the more you realize its critical traits. The lip must be comfortable, the handle has to feel just right, and it can鈥檛 be too big or too small.
We all have our favorite cup. One that we use for our morning coffee or a favorite for hot cocoa. It is comfortable, familiar, and adds to the experience in its own unique way. On the other end of things, cups can challenge us. Be it a mammoth stein that holds a full liter, or the smallest of flutes for sipping Champagne, cups for a purpose are less about the user and more about their contents.
Welcome to the complex simplicity that is The Cup. In this show we admire 19 artists鈥� interpretation of this humble yet intriguing form. From 鈥渕orning joe鈥� to sophisticated sipping, we invite you to admire, hold, and hopefully make your next drink a little more exciting.
