Részvétel a GLASS ART NOW: Collective Hungarian Contemporary Glass Art Exhibition - ön

The exhibition of contemporary Hungarian glass, Glass Art Now, was realized as part of the cooperation of the Museum of Applied Arts (MPU) with the Bohus-Lugossy Foundation from Hungary and the Hungarian Cultural Centre from Belgrade. Marking the International Year of Glass, declared by a special resolution of the United Nations, the Museum of Applied Arts has launched a series of different programs that focus on glass and its different aspects. This international cooperation is part of the accompanying program of the exhibition On the Glass Road: The Art of Glass in the Representation of Serbia (1850-1950), curated by Biljana Crvenkovic, but also of a wider project that MPU is implementing in cooperation with ICOM Serbia and the Museum of Science and Technology from Belgrade. The celebration of the International Year of Glass encourages institutions and experts to interpret and present different contexts of glass as a material through networking and knowledge exchange.

The Glass Art Now exhibition by the group of authors provides an insight into contemporary Hungarian glassmaking with the aim of encouraging and problematizing the current state of this discipline, which is almost disappearing in Serbia. The exhibition offers an overview of contemporary glassmaking in Hungary through the confrontation of different author’s approaches, methods and styles, all with the aim of presenting the unfathomable possibilities of glass as a material.

The Glass Art Now exhibition represents the first step in cooperation with the Bohus-Lugossy Foundation and the Hungarian Cultural Centre in Serbia. It opens a dialogue on the topic of the development of glassmaking and is a real incentive for future joint cooperation in every sense.
