“Throughout time, artists have been the way to activate [spaces]…if there are artists coming in…we know they’re catalytic to the activation of the building.”

🌟 LAST WEEK!
LINO TAGLIAPIETRA | Currents of Light
on view through Saturday, June 28th

Tagliapietra‘s forms, colors, and surface techniques draw on a lifetime of travel, experimentation, and reflection. His pursuit of perfection within his craft is unparalleled, but his astonishing ability to capture rare beauty in his sculptures truly sets him apart. His vessels echo the places that have shaped his life: Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Europe. Interpreted through glass with precision and lyricism, Lino‘s sculptures range from the architectural to the poetical.

Few artists have left such a lasting imprint on their medium. Tagliapietra has redefined what is possible in glass as a maker, teacher, and visionary. We are proud to continue this legacy with his exhibition, Currents of Light.
