Future Horizons Glass in Contemporary Art

The Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung is celebrating its 25th anniversary with the exhibition Future Horizons. Glass in Contemporary Art. It features impressive sculptures and installations by around 50 international artists. It is a celebration of abundance and diversity, a manifestation of imagination and inventiveness. Each work has its own story, embodied in its intention, meaning, origin, material, and technique. In addition, when viewed together and in specific proximity to other works, small stories unfold associatively, describing maxims for a humane future. They deal with hospitality, empathy, and courage; beauty, curiosity, and wonder; the ritual of everyday gestures; dignity and reconciliation; wit and humor; history and preservation; invention and experimentation.

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.
