Future Horizons Glass in Contemporary Art
All of the works share a material that is rarely used in art: glass. It unfolds its specific effect through light and color, through haptic qualities and technical sophistication, a narrative potential, and its emotional aura. The exhibits on view, almost all of which belong to the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung collection, reveal the exciting artistic practices of working with glass – whether molded, blown, cut, uncut, freely formed, or sandblasted. They also point to future-oriented developments in the combination of glass with photography, video, and performance, with poetry, light, electronics, and artificial intelligence.
