Description:
Pratt Manhattan Gallery presents „Bright Future: New Designs in Glass,“ an exhibition of sculpture, tableware, and lighting designs by American and international artists and firms that explore issues of sustainability, the manipulation of light, and the contrast of ancient and modern influences in contemporary glass from February 10 through May 5, 2012 at 144 West 14th Street, Second Floor. The signature qualities of glass–its flexibility, clarity, complex cultural history and ability to magnify and direct light–are all at play in the works exhibited.The exhibition, which is guest-curated by Sarah Archer, chief curator at the Philadelphia Art Alliance, will be celebrated with an opening reception on Thursday, February 9 from 6 to 8 PM. The exhibition and opening reception are free and open to the public.
