Accident is an exhibition featuring ten glassblowers and gloss artists from Nuutajärvi, Helsinki and Rihimäki. li is a unique colaborative project involving glass artists from different localities, and of a kind that has not been seen previously in Finland. The title refers to random, accidental occurrences and surprising encounters, and the theme oppears in works combining surprising elements. A ccident means shared everyday encounters.
This exhibition presents art glass in a new way from a fresh perspective. Accident provides a space for viewers to have experiences with glass art and to see how it has been renewed and how it keeps abreast of current phenomena. When the working group began to consider the concept of the exhibition, the original idea was to take it into a space or venue with the possibility of encounters with the kinds of audiences who have not explicitly come to see displays of art glass. What happens when a work of art or a whole exhilbition is brought into a busy street, a shop of a car roadworthiness inspection station for a day? The underlying ideas of the works, their makes and the processes by which they were made accessible to viewers also makes the world of contemporary glassmakers known. Near Fine. Item #4518
