Future Horizons. Glass in contemporary art

The Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung (Alexander Tutsek Foundation) is celebrating its 25th anniversary with the exhibition Future Horizons. Glass in Contemporary Art to celebrate its 25th anniversary. It features impressive sculptures and installations by around 50 international artists. It is a celebration of abundance and diversity, a manifestation of imagination and inventiveness. Each work has its own story implemented through intention, meaning, origin, material and technique. In addition, small stories emerge associatively in the synopsis and the specific neighbourhoods with other works, which describe the maxim for a humane future. They are about hospitality, empathy and courage, beauty, curiosity and wonder, the ritual of everyday gestures, dignity and reconciliation, wit and humour, history and preservation, invention and experiment.

What all the works have in common is a material rarely used in art: glass. It unfolds its specific effect through light and colour, haptics and technical sophistication, a narrative quality and its emotional aura. The exhibits on display, which are part of the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung (Alexander Tutsek Foundation) collection, demonstrate the exciting artistic practices of working with glass - whether moulded, blown, cut, uncut, free-moulded or sandblasted. They also show forward-looking developments in the combination of glass with photography, video and performance, with poetry, light, electronics or artificial intelligence.
