KAREN DONNELLAN RECEIVES LANGLEY KENZIE AWARD
Karen Donnellan is the 2012 recipient of the Langley Kenzie Award. Karen creates work that is about process and material. Working primarily in glass, her creative method results in an object that is both true to a physical material origin but also suggests a potential for something naturally generated. Donnellan is a native of Ireland and MFA candidate at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her work was on view in Art in Craft Media 2011.

ENGAGING WITH GLASS, TRAVER GALLERY, TACOMA
The Traver Gallery in Tacoma is proud to serve as the only United States venue for Engaging with Glass; the first comprehensive survey of Irish glass art in over a decade. The exhibition brings together a broad spectrum of work in glass, ranging from beautifully executed decorative objects to conceptual installation pieces incorporating video elements.
Originally presented at the Solstice Arts Center in Meath,
Ireland, Engaging with Glass was organized by Solstice director
Belinda Quirke, along with artists Caroline Madden and Deirdre Rogers.
Irish artists working at home or abroad, as well as foreign artists
living and working in Ireland, are included in the exhibition, which was
juried by Dr. Audrey Whitty, Curator of Ceramics, Glass and Asian
Collections at the National Museum of Ireland and Tina Oldknow, Curator
of Modern Glass at the Corning Museum of Glass.
In essays included in the full-color catalog produced
alongside the exhibition, juror Audrey Whitty notes that the show
reflects an international trend to marry concept with an exceptional
level of technical skill, while Tina Oldknow highlights two major themes
seen in the show: narrative work addressing memory and time and objects
exploring various perspectives on abstraction.
Seattle artist Paula Stokes, whose work is included in the
show, was instrumental in bringing Engaging with Glass to the
United States. After traveling to Ireland to attend the exhibition
opening in Meath, Stokes was convinced that the work deserved to be seen
by a wider audience and approached the Travers about mounting the show
in their Tacoma location. Working with Solstice Art Center director
Belinda Quirke, Stokes secured funding from Culture Ireland and the
Crafts Council of Ireland to bring the exhibition to Tacoma.
The Seattle/Tacoma arts community has shown a great deal of
enthusiasm for the exhibition, and several public programs have been
developed around it. Dr. Caroline Madden, one of the exhibition's
organizers and an artist featured in the exhibition, will teach a Master
Artist class at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle from April 13 - 15.
Madden will also be featured as an Artist in Residence at the Museum of
Glass in Tacoma from April 18 - 20.

The Engine Room Gallery in Belfast hosts Three x 3; an exhibition of work by Andrea Spencer, Sean Campbell and Scott Benefield. The exhibition aims to bring contemporary studio glass to a wider audience. Three x 3 was first exhibited at Craft NI Display Space for August Craft Month 2010 before touring widely and is now returning to Belfast. Though the three artists involved work with different techniques and address completely different subject matter, they have come together to address the relative scarcity of artistic glass on exhibition.
This exhibition is supplemented by an educational display that presents the history of glass as an artistic medium, explains the beginnings and significance of the global studio glass movement, and offers information about the particular glassmaking techniques that are on view in the exhibition spaces. There are also videos of the artists at work in their studios as they create some of the pieces included in the show. The exhibition runs from 5th to 28th April 2012.
