Glass Virus - Seminar Serie 2020 - 4/5 Performance and Materiality

The Glass Virus introduces the Seminar Series 2020. A new format for online exchange and the conversation of current topics in glass art and art education.Due to the pandemic, a continuation of the Think Tanks, with physical presence of all participants, did not seem feasible. But especially now it is important that the community actively cooperates in finding solutions for the whole community as well as for individual partners, especially the artists, who are affected by the restrictions and consequences of the lockdown and a shrinking economy. This is why we have looked at alternative forms so that we can still be a supporting platform for our network.In monthly sessions, we want to discuss various examples of artists practices and the future of (recently graduated) artists and designers and glass-art education.It is difficult enough for young artists to conduct a practice in which they are economically and socially independent immediately after their studies. However, this year's graduates are facing even more challenges because social and economic structures are partially or completely absent and they have to build a professional life in an incomparable situation.Young artists rightly have questions, doubts and concerns about their personal future as artists, within a transforming society that seeks to redefine itself. The consequences of the pandemic, social and ecological fairness, cultural equality; are all subjects, which are often addressed in the work of the young artists.The Glass Virus wants to make these concerns accessible in the seminars and share it with a large audience, including educational and professional institutions, individual makers, curators and students.Every last Wednesday of the coming five months, the Glass Virus will organize an online seminar with invite young artists, who will present their work and discuss the practice, interest and future endeavors with experienced experts.

Welcome to the fourth seminar of the Glass Virus' Seminar Series 2020 !Every last Wednesday of the month up to February 2021, the Glass Virus will organize online seminars with young artists, who will present their work and discuss their practice, interest and future endeavors with experienced experts.For the fourth seminar, the panel will contemplate the following topic:Performance and Materiality - January 27, 2021 6:15 pm CET To define performativity is to look both at performativity as an act of social or artistic manifestation and as the inherent feasibility of any entity to perform within or outside a given context. Are material interaction and the process(ing) of material per definition forms of performativity? This seminar will try to approach the different semantic presumptions and how artistic practice can be a tool or a result of performativity and materiality.ArtistsSam Chua, Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam (NL)Ella Fischer Leventon, Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem (IL) ExpertCarly Rose Bedford, KABK, Den Hague (NL)ModeratorsKaren Donnellan, Alfred University, Alfred (USA)Jens Pfeifer, Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam (NL)The Glass Virus wants to discuss various examples of artists practices and the future of (recently graduated) artists and designers and glass-art education.It is difficult enough for young artists to conduct a practice in which they are economically and socially independent immediately after their studies.
