Irvin Tepper: When Cups Speak
Life with the Cup-A 25 Year Survey Published by San Jose State University.
Artwork by Irvin Tepper. Edited by Jo Farb Hernandez, Paul Schimmel. Text by Edmund Burke Feldman, Marc Freidus, James Harithas, David Ross, Armando Surez-Cobin, Janet Koplos, Robert Milnes. For the past 25 years, Irvin Tepper has been engaged in an exploration of the physical and conceptual idea of the coffee cup. Endowed with animistic qualities, Tepper's cups (made of porcelain or bronze, seen in photographs and drawings) hear, think, and even speak, commenting on the stories they overhear and the lives they witness as we drink our daily cups of coffee--with friends, business associates, or just the daily paper.
