Peach Corner Gallery had the exhibition Functional Clay in Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen Studio, during 3daysofdesign in June 2025, and our project: Whistleblowing Earthshaking Trumpeting! was a part of this show.
Whistleblowing Earthshaking Trumpeting! are three drinking vessels that also function as simple musical instruments. Each vessel is decorated with a word that refers to its particular sound — serving both as a kind of instruction and as a bold exclamation.
We have worked with three types of instruments: a flute, a rattle, and a horn, shaping both the vessels and their graphic elements to reflect these specific sounds. At the same time, the instruments are subtly concealed within familiar drinking vessels: straws in glasses, wine glasses with stems and bases, and beer mugs with handles.
Let’s drink to making noise!
The project is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation.
