As part of the 2012 International Festival of Glass this one-day symposium entitled ‘Architecture and the Artistry of Glass’ explores the relationship between glass and architectural forms whether in terms of building materials or the artist wedded to architecture.
The symposium brings together artists and designers whose international profiles are distinguished: John Lewis, the Californian sculptor and architectural artist; Danny Lane whose furniture and sculpture ranges from the domestic to the monumental; Brent Richards, award winning architect in the field of glass technology; Tomasz Urbanowicz, the Polish architect and Architectural Glass artist creating large-scaled kiln-formed glass compositions; and Keith Cummings who has pioneered kiln forming over the past 45 years and has been active as a teacher and practitioner. Their work sits within the architectural environment as structure, membrane or object. These artist’s notions of transparency and solidity exert a particularly seductive and tenacious hold on the imagination, and the relationship that is produced between glass and architecture is at its most sophisticated when their technical limitations are transcended.
By their expression the invited speakers have produced work that have changed the way we view the world. The artists here know that these intangible things are at the heart of what they produce. The mastery of their medium combined with the intangible are what astounds us in their work. This symposium explores their thinking and delves into their methodology.
