"Exhibition Date: Friday, July 10, 2009 - Saturday, October 10, 2009
Reception Date/Time: Friday, July 10, 2009 - 5:00pm - 7:00pm
BIGG: Breakthrough Ideas in Global Glass is a dynamic collaboration among The Ohio State University Department of Art's Glass Program, OSU Urban Arts Space and Hawk Galleries. This exhibition is sponsored by Steuben Glass.
Together we will discover and introduce to the public a select group of artists with a conceptual and working engagement in glass. These artists will have completed their formal training in art beyond the baccalaureate (MFA or equivalent) since the beginning of the new millennium. This collaboration demonstrates a commitment to advancing new and innovative glass art worldwide. Through an international juried selection process and critical writing about work in the field, we intend to expand the discourse about glass art globally.
The exhibition will be presented from July 10th through October 10th, 2009 at the OSU Urban Arts Space and Hawk Galleries [hawkgalleries.com] in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Afterward, select works from the BIGG exhibition will travel to SOFA Chicago 2009 [sofaexpo.com] on exhibit November 5th through the 8th.
