![]() ![]() Every stage of crystal glass making resembles magic, even alchemy, while finished objects look so ethereal and fragile as if they were created from air. Polished crystal glass shines brightly but there’s a lot of hard and tedious work behind the glamour. ![]() In creating this exhibition we have applied MYRA’s approach to collection, pairing art with glass development process.Įxhibition’s cheeky title reflects the duality of working with this material. The collection is based on visual connections - viewers and researchers can draw their own conclusions while observing it. Visual impressions and associations from MYRA Collection illustrate these stages. Gus-Khrustalny Crystal Factory has helped with the practical side: they have prepared a crystal object in different stages, illustrating the steps needed to produce one crystal glass piece. We are both craftsmen who are looking for inspiration and researchers who try to join the dots between crystal piece, fine art and architecture. We call this art show experimental, because it unites two different approaches. This is how this exhibition happened, created together with MYRA Creative Community and Gus-Khrustalny Crystal Factory. The need for research has appeared to sum up this journey and to tell about unique crafts of Vladimir region. It is one of the stages of our ongoing interest in this material: over the years one-off experiments with crystal glass have grown into an important area of our work. In this exhibition in MYRA Culture Center dedicated to the production of crystal glass we are both exhibition designers and curators. ![]()
