"ISSUES IN GLASS PEDAGOGY"
Glass professors, instructors, and arts administrators are facing a
landscape being transformed by new technologies, new faculty appointments,
and restructuring of the fine arts curriculum. This December, glass
educators are invited to take part in a forum for discussion and exchange of
best practices, a place to compare notes with colleagues and expand their
network. On December 6th and 7th, 2013, UrbanGlass in Brooklyn, New York, is
hosting a high-level academic symposium to discuss "Issues in Glass
Pedagogy." An optional Thursday-night tour of Chelsea galleries (including
the new Heller Gallery location) will kick off the event in style.
The symposium's keynote will be delivered by Jack Wax, professor at VCU, who
will talk about how glass departments can redefine and reposition themselves
in university art curriculums. Pilchuck artistic director emeritus Ruth King
will discuss how university glass programs can balance glass craft with
issues in contemporary art. A panel discussion including artist Dan Clayman
will explore whether the technical nature of glass process is an impediment
or asset for conceptual art-making. Studio demonstrations of teaching
techniques will also be presented.
The conference fee is $175, or $125 with a valid student ID. (Proposals for
lectures are still being accepted until September 1st -- chosen speakers
will have the symposium fee waived and receive a $200 honorarium.) More
