This is an exhibition of blue, but not made of blue glass, rather the blue color created by light.
The pieces are made with an opaline glass that splits light into its spectrum of warm and cool tones. As light creates the blue color of the sky, it creates the blues in these pieces, tonally changing with the opacity of the glass. Under certain light conditions, however, a pink reflection can be seen, like a glimpse of the last light in a disappearing sunset.
For the fifth edition of Panorama, the city-wide exhibition conceived by ITALICS and curated by Chiara Parisi, 45 galleries, 47 artists, and more than 110 works animated the Phlegraean territory of Pozzuoli — between myth, archaeology, and the contemporary.
Caterina Tognon presented GELATINE LUX, an immersive installation with glass, lights and music by Maria Grazia Rosin.
GELATINE LUX merges the ancient glass-making techniques of Murano's masters with innovative technologies and materials, from quality-controlled lighting through LEDs and optical fibers to electronic sound structures.
This showcase exhibition inside the Study Rooms of the Draiflessen Collection in Mettingen, Germany, brings together two fascinating artistic positions that meet and engage in dialogue across different eras and mediums: the Dutch engraver Crispijn de Passe the Younger (1594–1670) and the contemporary Italian artist Lilla Tabasso (b. 1973). Their common theme: the timeless beauty of flowers. While De Passe recorded floral diversity in his printed herbarium Hortus Floridus in the seventeenth century, Tabasso takes his depictions as the artistic starting point for her hyperrealistic sculptures made of Murano glass.
