The New Classics: Contemporary Glass

Exhibition Website

Oct 2 2016 - Dec 23 2016

Islip Art Museum

East Islip, NY

To define the 4th dimension of the glass world one must find the variables vibrating from the farthest cultural norms and well-traveled orbits of the masses; They must be so far off the atomic grid that they redefine it. The artist’s in this exhibition engage space, time, and pseudo-science with the sardonic wit of a home chemistry enthusiast.

There is no question that glass attracts a community of eclectic practitioners that move to the beat of an idiosyncratic drummer. In this, it defies rigid logic and acts of its own volition: freezing movement, transferring light, and transitioning between a liquid and solid states. Even in this odd company, these artists are transgressive, the weirdest of the weird, non-conformist, ill-fitting prosthetics of the glass world. They are busy producing the new classics of tomorrow.

Featuring:
Megan Biddle - Christopher Duffy - John Drury - Beccy Feather Elias Hansen - Eve Andree Laramee - Nate Ricciuto - Esther Ruiz
