The spring 2018 exhibition at LE STANZE DEL VETRO will be dedicated to the Cirva (Centre international de recherche sur le verre et les arts plastiques of Marseille), a Marseille-based research laboratory hosting international artists, designers and architects seeking to incorporate glass in their creative process. |
Staged in two venues—LE STANZE DEL VETRO and the Fondazione Querini Stampalia—A Furnace in Marseille. Cirva will concentrate on a selection of 17 artists and designers who have been in residence at the Cirva over the last thirty years, presenting a selection of the most significant works in the Cirva collection. |
Curated by Isabelle Reiher and Chiara Bertola, this original and surprising exhibition highlights extraordinary and unpredictable links between contemporary art and glass as a medium of its own, not simply a symbol of tradition but a depiction of a new landscape and visionary nature. |
