The European Glass Festival presents:
MELTING BORDERS: Baltic Glass Artists in the Spotlight at the European Glass Festival
This year’s European Glass Festival in Wroclaw, now reaching its 8th milestone, turns its eyes toward the Baltic shores. Showcasing both accomplished and emerging artists from Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, we hope to shed light on recent developments in the Baltic glass scene.
Näituse idee aluseks on sulamine kui mitmetimõistetav metafoor: see võib tähistada nii klaasi füüsilist sulamist kui mõtteliste piiride hägustumist; aine üleminekut ühest olekust teise, aga ka piire ületavat koostööd, koosolemist ja õlatunnet, mida praegusel hetkel eriti vajame.
The exhibition takes as its starting point the concept of melting: this could signify both the transition of matter from one state to another, but also cross-border cooperation, togetherness and mutual support, which we all need in the present moment.
The main exhibition takes place at the Session Room of the Wroclaw Central Train Station, opening October 17, and at Legnica Art Gallery, October 18. Various other solo and group projects will also open from Oct 17 to Oct 20 in Wroclaw and elsewhere (see programme below). The exhibitions will stay open until November 27.
