GLASS to GLASS is an exhibition that showcases a curated selection of art by acclaimed designers, artists, and glass artisans. Exhibited during the Venice Glass Week, WonderGlass and Fondazione Berengo partnered up to put the show together. Glassmaking is a longstanding Venician craft. The artists pay homage to the glassworkers that came before them through their own works.
One featured piece includes Minosse by stuidopluz, which showcases a rainbow-colored geometric glass shape. Viewers can also enjoy the intricacies of the 9 to 5 piece by Andrea Anastasio. This chandelier-inspired work boasts pops of colorful glass pieces. Another impressive contribution to the exhibit is Mollis LUX by Maria Grazia Rosin. It features a series of hanging submarine-style light fixtures.
