Goblet?

So this year, August 2010, with more advanced notice, I'd like this show to be bigger and better. I want the gallery to runith over with goblets galore answering these deep and probing questions...

The goblet is a classical form made and augmented though the ages. Its significance has usually been to imply the regal standing of the owner. But what is the contemporary purpose of these ancient objects? Who are they for? In what ceremony are they participating? What is their place in everyday society? These are just some of the questions that our group of artists has attempted to answer. Some are more serious, while others turn this ancient artifact on its cup.

I'm definitely not looking for the traditional interpretation. I'm looking for the you. Let's show Phiadelphia your flare and dare them to drink from your cup.

Hudson Beach Glass Phila Transom

This transom needs your creative touch! I rotate a new piece in this space every first Friday of the month. This will be in conjunction with a visiting hot shop artist, new wall work in the gallery, outdoor video series presentations during the summer, and other First Friday events around Center City.

A Bit About the gallery:
Hudson Beach Glass Phila the only hot shop/retail gallery space in Center City Philadelphia. The goal is to promote glass art and other media in a gallery setting. Located in the heart of the historic district, our shop attracts tourists and locals. The Hudson Beach Glass building is on a side street that opens to a major shopping through-fare. Your neon installation will help draw attention to the site and be viewed by numerous people visiting the historic sites, nightclubs, and delicious restaurants. If I have asked you to show it is because I know you make quality work. I am looking for work with a contemporary edge, but please remember that this is a public space. There are 12 slots for 12 months.

The Space:
The viewable window opening space is 64” x 17 1/4”. The edge of the aluminum molding is 5 1/2” from the top of the open window space. Your piece will have to be mounted or hung above this into the drywall. You supply the appropriate hardware for installation I have a transformer if you need one. Your artist statement will be posted near the entry. Any other specific installation questions just contact me.
