The Contemporary Glass Society (CGS) presents ‘Living with Glass’; a conference that explores the use of glass in interiors. The interiors of our public and private spaces are important to us; we shape them to affect our mood, our message and our identity, and glass plays a rich and varied part in the way that we do this.
‘Living with Glass’ will explore the many ways we use glass in interiors, and our speakers will represent the best of international practice. Richard Meitner, Anna Dickinson, Simon Moore, Harry Cardross, Eva Menz, Heike Klussmann and Thorsten Klooster (creators of ‘Blingcrete’) and Florian Lechner will take us on a journey that explores thought-provoking installation and sculpture, exquisite tableware, architectural virtuosity, fabulous lighting and concrete that you will want in your living room. There will also be a dramatic glass, light and sound perfomance to complete the experience. And all this will take place in the stunning Art Deco De La Warre Pavillion at Bexhill on Sea – just a short trip from London.
Delegates can choose to go to break-out sessions that cover ‘Getting your designs manufactured’ by David Proto and ‘Mentoring - One year On: Just what do you get from mentoring and being mentored’. By popular request we will be holding our second live Glass Pechakucha: Twenty contemporary glass artists will be presenting their work in quick-fire succession. For a chance to take part please see contact CGS directly for more information.
Living with Glass: Exploring Contemporary Glass and Interiors will take place on 15th & 16th of October 2011, at the De La Warr Pavilion at Bexhill in East Sussex. The CGS AGM will be held on the 15th October during the conference.
The conference will coincide with the partner exhibition ‘Living with Glass’ in collaboration with Vessel Gallery, London which will run from the 15th of September to the 30th of October 2011.
