glass utopia
In 2019 Ausglass partnered with CraftACT+Design Centre and Design Tasmania to support this collaboration between prominent Australian and Italian Glass designers as a part of the Design Canberra Festival 2019.
The concept was inspired by the Murano glass chandelier that Italian-born architect Enrico Taglietti install in 1967 for the Italian Ambassador’s residence in Canberra. The exhibition draws a parallel between Venetian contemporary glass production and the Australian experience.
After its showing in Canberra (5 Nov - 14 Dec, 2019) the exhibition travels to Design Tasmania (February, 2020) and on to Milan Design Week (June?, 2020) and Venice Glass Week (September, 2020).
You’ll see some of the participating works at the CraftACT+Design exhibition web-page.
