EUROPEAN GLASS CONTEXT 2012 – CONFERENCE
European Glass Context 2012 forms part of a biennial symposium for European contemporary glass and ceramics on the island of Bornholm in Denmark. A conference will be held on 16th and 17th September 2012 which aims to spotlight and address current themes impacting contemporary European glass.
The studio glass movement is now celebrating its 50th anniversary as an independent artistic practice. Half a century is a significant amount of time, yet the movement still seems young seen in the perspective of general art history. This calls for an opportunity to take stock of and look ahead for future opportunity, relevance, positioning, development, discussion etc.
What did the studio glass movement set out to do, and what did they achieve?
How does the studio glass movement identify itself in a craft and art context?
How can glass in the future position itself in the consciousness a larger audience? And where does the responsibility to do so lie?
Do we need any changes at all in the way we think about and make glass..?
This is an open call for anyone to submit proposals for talks and suggestions for presenters and themes for this conference. Your proposal must be max. 1 page. Please enclose your current CV and/or artist statement. The deadline to submit a proposal is 15th April 2012
