The last chapter – Sandra Arteaga

A little book creature call the last chapter was created by Spanish artist Sandra Arteaga .

Once upon a time, like so many other ones, but in this case, my turn, I go by where an outbreak of a stomach divided into two as the red velvet curtains and a music hall, the show must have been horrific, almost died asphyxiated amid cries that seemed boos, foreign substances released by a nervous public and applause, whether applause, but in the ass … I survived, I staggered to the post of raffles, tombola and the names, I touched Sandra. The rest is a sum.

Peter Shire – CUP

Film by Eric Minh Swenson. Music by James Lucchesi
Lora Schlesinger Gallery presents Peter Shire’s Cups, 1974 – 2012 featuring a body of work focused on more than 30 years of ceramic cups, that have never before been exhibited. The show is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. It opens Saturday, April 21 from 5 – 7 pm and is on view through June 9, 2012.

Peter Shire is recognized for being an innovative and unclassifiable artist. Since the 1970′s Peter Shire has been at an intersection where craft, fine art, architectural and industrial design collide. He is not a “traditional” ceramist and his ceramics push the boundaries and preconceived notions of clay. For nearly four decades Peter Shire has made a collection of teapots, cups and other functional items typically found in domestic settings with atypical designs. The works have challenged ideas of form versus function, and have become sculptural objects occupying domestic settings.
