Dale Chihuly at the Boca Museum

Both Mr. S and I are long time fans of Dale Chihuly’s work. Having owned a restaurant and bar at the foot of College Hill in Providence when Dale was a professor there, we got to see quite a bit of him. Some of our friends went on to go to Seattle with him when he left Rhode Island to become apprentices and in-house glass blowers, so our connection runs deep.

Beginning next week the Boca Museum of Art will host an exhibition of glass by not only Mr. Chihuly, but a number of contemporary glass artists. I’ll be there for sure!

GLASS ACT: The Contemporary Studio Art Glass Movement Turns 50

This survey of contemporary studio glass will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary in 2012 of the Studio Glass Movement in America.  Studio glass describes one-of-a-kind fine art glass pieces made in individual studios rather than glass factories. This movement started in the early 1960s, when Harvey Littleton – today considered the father of the studio glass movement – built his own glass-making furnaces in a freestanding studio. Glass Act will showcase art glass representative of the full breadth of this defining period in contemporary glassmaking. This exhibition demonstrates the different ways in which glass is used as a medium for contemporary art. The display focuses on unique objects that explore ideas by the leading glass artists today including Howard Ben Tré, Dale Chihuly, Dan Dailey, Kyohei Fujita, Harvey Littleton, Concetta Mason, Danny Perkins, Christopher Ries and others.

    I love blown glass. My favorite Chihuly installation is the undersea one he did that’s an entire ceiling at the Norton Museum of Art. You lie on white leather benches and stare at the ceiling that is an underwater delight made entirely of blown glass.
