space, structure and light
a contemporary glass exhibition
november 8 - december 20, 2016
opening reception: sunday, november 8 2-4pm
Glass has magical properties. It reflects, refracts, holds light, and lets light through. As an artist’s material, it can be versatile, wildly colorful, smooth as ice or rough as rock. Silvermine’s exhibition of contemporary glass art will show both the wide range of what is being done today by glass artists, and what glass as a material can do. The artists represented in this exhibition include casters, kiln workers, glass blowers, stained-glass artisans, and flameworkers, and the work on exhibit will include sculpture, wall panels, vessels, triptychs and large hanging works.
Several of the artists have a background in architecture or design and have taken architectural shapes to the point of abstraction or metaphor. Daniel Clayman’s first formal training was as a theater and modern-dance lighting designer. His simple forms can be vessels or large-scale skins of glass that separate or hold quantities of air. Stained-glass artist Nancy Nicholson uses her traditional art to create urban scenes from Manhattan’s neighborhoods. All of the artists in this exhibition use glass in surprising ways, and the sizes of their work range from the small and intricate to large-scale, abstract works that explore the possibilities of interior space and light. There are infinite worlds to see.
Artists will include: Jane Bruce, Moshe Bursuker, Daniel Clayman, Susan Cox, Susan Taylor Glasgow, Dorothy Hafner Michael Janis, Marty Kremer, Christopher Lydon, Martie Negri, Nancy Nicholson, Alyssa Oxley, Paul Stankard, and Nancy Weisser. This exhibiton is curated in consultation with Guild artists Marty Kremer, Moshe Bursuker, and Susan Cox.
