2009 Special ExhibitionsThe following galleries will host ongoing glass exhibitions during the GAS conference.These are the listings as of October 18, 2008. The Corning Museum of GlassFavorites from the Contemporary Glass CollectionChanging Exhibitions Gallery, March 1, 2009 - January 3, 2010 Discover (or rediscover!) some of the Musuem’s most popular contemporary works. Evening Dress with Shawl by Karen Lamonte, Red Pyramid by Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová, Untitled (White) by Josiah McElheny are just a few of the favorites from the Contemporary Glass Collection highlighted in this special exhibition. Masters of Studio Glass: Richard Craig Meitner West Bridge, April 4 - October 18, 2009 The intellectual, poetic, and always changing work of the American artist Richard Craig Meitner (b. 1949) reflects a variety of influences and ideas, from Japanese textiles and Italian painting and applied arts to science and the natural world. The colorless glass surfaces of his quixotic objects often incorporate assorted materials such as rust, enamel, bronze, tile, paint, and print. Meitner revels in unusual juxtapositions of forms and ideas, in unanswered questions, and in the intersections between art and science. All of the objects in the exhibition are drawn from the Museum’s collection. Voices of Contemporary Glass: The Heineman Collection Contemporary Glass Gallery and Changing Exhibitions Gallery, May 16, 2009 - January 3, 2010 Voices of Contemporary Glass showcases the 230 objects, by 87 international artists, that constitute the Museum’s recently acquired Heineman Collection. The exhibition will present the collection in the historical context of international studio glass, and focus on the accomplishments and “voices” of individual artists. Artists in the collection include Howard Ben Tré, Dale Chihuly, Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová, Harvey Littleton, Klaus Moje, and Toots Zynsky. Memorial Art Gallery of the University of RochesterGlassWearGrand Gallery, April 19, 2009 - June 28, 2009 GlassWear celebrates the marriage of two of the richest and most inventive areas in today's decorative arts—glass and jewelry. It features approximately 130 works by 60 leading contemporary artists from the United States, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Japan, and South Africa. Exploiting the inherent properties of glass—transparency, fluidity, sharpness, fragility and reflection—the objects are mysterious, sensuous, and colorful. There is no better stage for this exciting work than Rochester. The School for American Crafts at RIT and artistic communities nearby Corning and Alfred have placed Western New York n the map as an important hub for fine craft work. The exhibition was developed by the Museum of Arts & Design in New York City and the Jewelry Museum in Pforzheim, Germany, home to one of the world's finest collections of modern jewelry. A Unity of Opposites: Recent Work by Michael Taylor Grand Gallery, April 19, 2009 - June 28, 2009 Michael Taylor's recent work is the culmination of 40 years of investigating light, form, and design through the medium of glass. MAG is the only venue for this exhibition, which will include 3 large freestanding glass sculptures, 10 smaller pedestal pieces, and several basswood models. Taylor, former head of the glass department at RIT, describes his work as "artifacts of contemporary scientific technology." While the visual references to binary code and DNA are apparent, the sculptures are also indebted to architecture and poetry. Tina Oldknow, Curator of Modern Glass at the Corning Museum of Glass, has called them "architectures of light, radiant edifices that grow and expand in space just as mineral crystal structures do." Guest curator for the exhibition is Jessica Nicewarner of New York City.
