The ARS Project Space will become a venue for an experiment in which masters of glass art and printmaking will join forces to search for common ground. We can observe ways in which an image takes shape in either medium, and ask ourselves whether a pipe can sometimes be just that – a pipe. Some of the more daring participants have crossed the divide between disciplines and ventured out into unknown territory.
\nThe two fields appear to have a lot in common. Glass and print get along just as a label sticks to a bottle. Both are mediated by complex technological practices – physical and chemical forces become co-authors in the creative process. Fire and water, sand,
\nsunshine, light and shadow, melting and etching, happy accidents and Nature\u2019s intervention can all overturn the artist\u2019s initial plans. Do we have free will or are we led by the inevitable?
\nGlass is a chameleon, smoothly transitioning from being the star of the show to modestly framing a masterpiece to underlying an image as an invisible canvas. Glass objects and framed prints reflect the viewers\u2019 own images back to them while they search for their own metaphors in the artwork.
\nImagination, formless at first, eventually takes shape, becoming visible through the artist\u2019s hand. At some point, imagination crystallizes into a fixed entity but its final form comes about through the reflection of the state of the world upon it. Where then is the artist and what is their image?<\/p>\n
