Northwest Ohio Glass Interest Newsletter, Issue 331

Bowling Green, Ohio 11/26/2020–Welcome to the 331st edition of the Northwest Ohio Glass Interest Newsletter.

 

In December, 2017 we took over publishing this newsletter from Bill Hamilton who had decided to retire from the effort.  Bill founded this free resource as a way to bring news about exhibitions, events, and artists to “the incredible glass community in Toledo and its surrounding communities.” We knew that we would greatly miss the weekly issues, so we decided to step forward. We contacted Bill, and a week later emailed Issue 180 to 171 recipients. Now it’s time for us to move on. Our final issue will appear on December 31, 2020.

 

Please, help keep this good thing going. It takes about 2 hours a week to compile, edit, and publish the news. It costs only your time.  It’s a pleasure to correspond with the 231 artists, gallerists, and collectors in this extended art-loving community.

 

Please let us know of your interest.

Traver Gallery Shows Work by Matt Szosz – New!

  • A surprise exhibition, Luftschlösser, which means “air palace” or daydream
  • The Inflatables series is a body of work that Matt first began more than a decade ago. This series is an investigation of how innovating within a process can expand the materials’ available formal vocabulary. While growing more technically refined, these recent works direct airflow through linear forms, recursive labyrinths reminiscent of three-dimensional line drawings. With their subtle and mutable surfaces, these sculptures reward the attentive observation with new characteristics and perspectives.
