International contemporary glass art exhibitions
Overview
Contemporary glass art initiatives are highlighting the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and modern design through various international exhibitions.
The Glasstress project, founded by Adriano Berengo, focuses on bringing international artists to Murano and Venice to experiment with glass. Recent developments include works by artists such as Ai Weiwei and Erwin Wurm, with a notable technical shift toward the use of casting to allow artists to more directly interpret their designs.
In Venice, the ‘Murano Illumina il Mondo’ exhibition is part of the tenth Venice Glass Week, featuring light fixtures created by international artists in collaboration with Murano manufacturers. Additionally, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg is hosting ‘Lines of Light’, an exhibition showcasing the technical processes and preparatory designs behind small-format heraldic stained glass from Swiss regional schools.
