siba sahabi: between to rivers
museum ons' lieve heer op solder, amsterdam
at winterSALON/ 2013 on now through to february 17th, 2013

 

translated from the ancient greek term mesopotamia, 'between two rivers' the sculptural vessels by amsterdam-based
designer siba sahabi makes the connection between this ancient land - located between the rivers - with its pottery
innovations and western ceramics culture which developed through these new technologies. a circular, ribbed finish
is one of the distinguishing characteristics of minyan ware which reflects its production process on a potter’s turntable.
although the turntable no longer plays a significant role in the production of modern large-scale pottery today,
the appearance of 
hand-turned ceramics is often imitated by producing circular shapes with fine ridges.

 

the objects from the collection, that comprise a series of carafes and cups, are made from coiled colored felt strips
(3mm thick) coated with a layer of paint on both sides. in this way, each object shows three colors: the original color
of the felt (surface of the ridges), the inside, and outside of the objects. the dense felt material translates the heavy
appearance of the minyan ware and exaggerates the appearance of the over-sized objects, some of which are up to 50cm high.
