Toyama International Glass Exhibition 2024

Toyama International Glass Exhibition 2024

  • Toyama Glass Art Museum (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

“Toyama International Glass Exhibition (TIGE) is an international, open-submission triennial that showcases the outstanding works of contemporary glass art from around the world. Launched in 2018, the second of these competitions was held in 2021 and attracted 1,126 entries from 51 countries and regions throughout the world. TIGE 2024 will be the third.
Contemporary glass art, in which art is used as a material for artistic expression, grew out of new art movements in Czechoslovakia in the 1950s and the United States in the 1960s. Since 2000, the world has seen a rapid diversification in the expression of plastic arts, and it has become a fascinating field of art with unlimited possibilities.


This exhibition will showcase new perspectives in this form of artistic expression and offer a new opportunity to establish Toyama, the Glass Art City, as a global center for glass art.”

Knotty and Nice (solo show) EXTENDED

To quote the immortal words of Cyndi Lauper, “Girls just wanna have fun.”

Do you need an excuse?

Three years of a global pandemic,
An exhausting 24/7 news cycle laden with shock & awe,
Attention-seeking politicians battling to be the most outrageous and inept …

Leave your politics, pontifications and doom and gloom at the door. If this show has an agenda, it is to explore the FUN in FUNctional work.

Don’t look for deeper meanings, or social commentary, or political innuendo. Just allow yourself to experience the whimsical joy in these works. Use your imagination to tell stories about where each of these pieces belong in your home. Revel in the textures: knitted, knotted, twisted, and coiled. Absorb the intense colors, juxtaposition of shapes and visual humor.

It’s time to celebrate creativity and joy. Time to have fun.

Sur le Fil

"Les fils de verre se croisent et s’entrecroisent, l’extrême finesse de la matière se révèle et se dérobe... transparence et illusion captent et trompent les sens.

Prêts extérieurs et recours aux collections permanentes alimenteront cette promenade poétique à la découverte d’un matériau inouï, aux propriétés surprenantes."

From Google Translate:

"The glass threads intersect and intertwine, the extreme finesse of the material is revealed and steals... transparency and illusion capture and deceive the senses.

External loans and use of collections permanent will supply this promenade poetic discovery of an incredible material, with surprising properties."

Harmony & Balance: Glass Lives with Light

The exhibition, which takes place as part of the 20th Anniversary of The Glass Furnace (Cam Ocağı Vakfı) and the United Nations International Year of Glass, is inaugurated to visits as a detailed presentation of the art of glass. Studiously selected works from the collection of The Glass Furnace, which exceeds more than 2,300 pieces, showcased both in Turkey and abroad, representing the art of glass, will be meeting viewers at AKM Gallery between 3-25 December 2022. The exhibition, where expertly applied examples of all the main techniques of the field, such as hot glass blowing, flame shaping, sand casting, fusion, mould shaping, bead and enamel, can be seen, is a comprehensive introduction to the art of glass. The exhibition, in which light, reflection, and colour come to the fore, is accompanied by videos detailing glass techniques and application methods and providing a closer look at glass production.

Design Lab 2022 at Bergdorf Goodman
Jan

to May 20

Design Lab 2022 at Bergdorf Goodman

Group exhibition curated by Culture Object at Berdorf Goodman’s 5th Ave. flagship store in Manhattan

“Craftsmanship is the bridge between art and design; skilled execution enables the materialization of conceptual evolution and technical innovation. We have been encouraged to think of these three fields as independent, thanks to the culture of specialization that was spawned by industrialization, but the wealth and sophistication that grew from industrialization’s success now fosters an environment where the three may merge anew. In this spirit, Design Lab 2022 presents a range of work demonstrating each of these fields, while the works selected from Culture Object’s gallery focus on the synergy of all three elements, a hallmark of the gallery’s program.

Culture Object proposes that materials, process, and technique are the building blocks used to make an idea real, and in doing so, they become the introduction to an object’s story. A skillful artist or designer may use these elements as a path to a more abstract narrative. The functional objects of our daily life touch us, literally and figurately; we sit on them, eat from them, put flowers in them. These objects compel us to engage with them by their form alone, and in doing so they command our attention and consideration, making them well suited as vehicles for ideas. In a bountiful society offering many chairs, bowls, and vases, we select based on a hierarchy of suitability; do they perform well, are they appealing, and what story do they tell us? An object that excels at all three has a powerful advantage. We invite you to see this principle in action in Design Lab 2022.”

Location: 754 Fifth Avenue between 57th & 58th Streets
in the 7th floor exhibition loft, New York
