Compelled by Content Opening
I'll have some pictures of the opening later, but the show looks great and once again artists using glass (among other things) are dragging the genre away from the bowl and vessel and to the fine arts. This is an amazing show.
The preview went well, and a major New York museum commissioned a Tim Tate piece for their collection! More on that later.
The public opening was really packed as well, and in fact so many people showed up for the guided Bethesda Art Walk that two separate walks were done.
I've been really taken by the work of Illinois artist Carmen Lozar, more on her and her work later. I've also been impressed by how much Michael Janis' work has progressed in the last year or so. More on him later as well.
