Glass: art design architecture

GLASS: art design architecture is a major exhibition exploring innovative ways that glass is being used by artists, designers and architects in Australia in the 21st century. The exhibition will tour 15 venues nationally and is accompanied by a 248 page catalogue.

Co-curated by JamFactory’s Brian Parkes (CEO) and Margaret Hancock Davis (Senior Curator), the exhibition includes 23 artists, designers and architects from across Australia and brings together products, projects and works of art that reflect many of the current preoccupations with glass within contemporary art, design and architecture in Australia.

The exhibitors represent a broad range of approaches to working with glass, and the range of work in the exhibition is extensive – from fine, hand-crafted jewellery to high-tech glass skyscrapers. Some of the exhibitors include: the multiple award winning architectural firm Woods Bagot, who ranked 7th in Building Design’s (BD) annual World Architecture 100 list for 2014. Contemporary artist Nic Folland who was the focus of a major solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of South Australia as well as the recipient of the South Australian Living Artist Publication in 2014 and Tom Moore – one of Australia’s most celebrated glass artists – who swept the pool of glass awards in 2013/14, winning the Tom Malone Prize for Contemporary Glass, Ranamok Glass Prize and the City of Hobart Art Prize.
