The Estonian Glass Artists’ Union has awarded the honorary title “Appreciated Glass Artist” for the tenth time. The award is given over two years, focusing on explaining the laureate’s work and professional activities in recent years. Looking back on the difficult corona years of 2020 and 2021, the Estonian Glass Artists\u2019 Union chose Merle Kannus, Kati Kerstna, and Rait Pr\u00e4\u00e4ts as nominees for the honorary title.<\/p>\n

The award will be presented at the Okapi gallery on November 2 at 6 pm, where the joint exhibition \u00a8empiria\u00a8 of the three nominees will be opened on this occasion. Maarja M\u00e4emets put together an exhibition of the works of authors active in the international art life, explaining her momentum: “Kati Kerstna, Merle Kannus, and Rait Pr\u00e4\u00e4ts are united by their characteristic empirical observation of man and the systems he creates, which is transferred various ways into the artists\u2019 work. Through sharp personal observations, layered narratives take shape in glass. Among others, satire, conflict, and realisation are recurring keywords in all three nominees\u2019 works \u00a8.<\/p>\n

\u00a8Appreciated Glass Artist 2020-2021\u00a8 is selected by a jury composed of Elo Liiv (sculptor, installation artist, pedagogue), Anneli Porri (art theorist, art critic, pedagogue), Karin Vicente (art theorist, program manager-curator of the Adamson-Eric Museum), Tiina Sarapu (glass artist) and Puhkan (ceramist, professor at the Estonian Academy of Arts).<\/p>\n

The year 2022 has been declared by the United Nations as the International Year of Glass. This material with a long history plays an irreplaceable role in many fields (technology, economy, environment, culture, medicine, etc.). The Estonian Glass Artists\u2019 Union events are dedicated to the International Year of Glass.<\/p>\n
