Glass Stress at Venice




Hye Rim Lee's video Crystal City is running in Glass Stress at the Istituto Veneto di Scienze Lettre ed Arti to 22 November 2009. The exhibition is part of the Venice Biennale Collateral Events Programme. "No other city in the world is more closely associated with the art of glassmaking than Venice... The show brings together commissioned pieces by artists such as Fred Wilson, Tony Cragg and Orlan with rare objects by Jean Arp, Louise Bourgeois, Jan Fabre, Mona Hartoum, Man Ray, Robert Rauschenberg and Lino Tagliapietra among others."
