Light Fantastic Light brings
an added dimension to artworks and
this exhibition highlights the work
of six artists who use neon in their
artworks to convey different ideas
and messages.
BERGSTROM-MAHLER MUSEUM
has once again curated a
stunning glass exhibition for you this
fall. All That Glitters is based on the
simplicity of form and glimmer of
glass in contemporary cold-worked
sculpture. Experience the sensuality
of light as it is manipulated by artists
and transformed into color and pattern.
Artists were selected based on
the visual effects of their sculpture
and the common theme of working
in cold glass methods: polishing,
cutting, laminating and faceting, to
exploit the reflective and transmissive
qualities of light that glass manages
like no other material, except
perhaps, diamonds. See work from:
Christopher Ries, Kreg Kallenberger,
Toland Sand, Sidney Hutter, David
Huchthausen, Jon Kuhn, Michael
Taylor and Donald Friedlich.165 N.

Parenthetically Speaking: It’s Only a
Figure of Speech is a new collection
of work by San Francisco-based artist
Mildred Howard comprising more
than 40 glass punctuation marks,
proofreading symbols and musical
notes. The work is inspired by At
the End, a poem by Howard’s friend
and Peabody Award winner Quincy
Troupe. Both the poem and the
exhibition reference punctuation as a
metaphor for the passage of time.
The Ojai Valley Museum opened "American Glass Works" on January 19th with a run through April 1, 2012. This exhibit features the work of seven contemporary glass artists (Ventura, Ojai, Oak View) and some Libbey Glass pieces from the museum's collection. Michele Pracy,OVM Director, is an established curator in the field of contemporary California art. She has personally selected the art work for this exhibit and will curate, design and install the exhibit.

ALEXANDER TUTSEK-STIFTUNG,
Karl-Theodor-Straße 27,
80803 München, Germany In the
Name of Love. Love was and is
one of the principal themes in art.
Humans have a need to express love,
and the pain of love, in a tangible
form. Literature, music, paintings
and sculptures created over the centuries
are testimony of their never-
ending attempts. The exhibition at
the Alexander Tutsek Foundation
deals with the many facets of love
from a very special perspective: not
only the bright, the welcome part of
love is explored, but so is its hidden,
secretive, and dark side. And all this
is expressed using a material that is
seldom seen in art displays. On show
are 30 objects created by 26 artists
from around the world who work
mainly with glass and mixed media.

NEW YORK METROPOLITAN GLASS CLUB
LECTURE ANNOUNCEMENT
“A Museum Collects”
Jennifer Scanlan
Associate Curator – Museum of Arts and Design
Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 7:00PM,
St. Michael’s Church - 99th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue
Jennifer Scanlan, Associate Curator of the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) on Columbus Circle, will launch the 2012 lecture series of the New York Metropolitan Glass Club. She will highlight the glass in the Museum’s permanent collection, discuss the criteria the Museum uses in its acquisitions and spell out the Museum’s goals for its future.
For nearly fifty years, MAD has served as the country’s premier institution dedicated to the collection and exhibition of decorative art objects created in such media such as glass, clay, wood, metal and fiber. MAD’s goal is to recognize the work of American craftspeople and to make the general public aware of the vitality that contemporary craft expression can bring to an age of machine-made products.
The Museum began in a Victorian brownstone on West 53rd Street and moved to its current location in the former Huntington Hartford Museum on Columbus Circle in 2008. This building, often called the “Lollipop Building,” was designed by Edward Durell Stone and erected in 1964. The Museum closed only five years later due to lack of funding. The site was occupied by various city departments until it was purchased in 2002 by MAD, then known as the American Craft Museum. Architect Brad Clopefil’s design replaced the mostly window-less severely deteriorated façade with a veil of bleached terra cotta and glass.
Ms. Scanlan has a BA in Art History and Italian from Vassar College and an MA in the history of decorative arts, design and culture from the Bard Graduate Center. She has organized a number of exhibitions at MAD including “Paul Stankard: A Floating World,” “Cheers! A MAD Collection of Goblets,” and the “Simona and Jerome Chasen Art Collection.” She has written for a broad collection of publications and has lectured widely both here and abroad.
The New York Metropolitan Glass Club meets the first Tuesday of each month (from October through May), usually at St. Michael’s Church at Amsterdam Avenue and West 99th. Street. St. Michael’s is a land-marked church whose interior was designed by Tiffany Studios. Annual membership dues range from $25 (student rate) to $75 (for a family). Attendance on a per meeting basis is $10 per person. We welcome both new members and visitors.
As usual, while our featured speaker’s presentation will begin at 7 PM, we will be hosting a wine and cheese reception beginning at 6:30. After the meeting, attendees may want to enjoy dinner with friends and fellow club members in one of the numerous restaurants in the neighborhood.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, February 7.
