[PA-NJ Glassblowers] NYC Panel Discussion: Rethinking the Artist's Role in the Museum

[Tony Patti]

Yvette Sterbenk of Corning Museum of Glass (CMOG) emailed me the 
information below,
she thought it might be of interest to PA & NJ glassblowers...

When I read the phrase "enliven the museum experience" it makes me think 
of the
ballet of our "most extreme sport of the art world" in hot shop 
glassblowing,
and glassblowing is perhaps the only art where watching a piece of glass 
being made is a captivating visual experience,
as can be seen in the popularity of CMOG's Hot Glass Show.

Museums across the country are engaging artists to rethink and enliven 
the museum experience in new and innovative ways. What is behind this 
trend? What does the artist's perspective bring to museum collections, 
programming, and public spaces?

ARTnews executive editor Robin Cembalest will discuss these and other 
questions with artist Shinique Smith; Minneapolis Institute of Arts 
curator of contemporary art Elizabeth Armstrong; and Tina Oldknow, 
curator of modern glass at The Corning Museum of Glass, where the energy 
of artists at work is felt every day through open studios and dynamic 
demonstrations.
