We don't usually cover glass. It has its own aesthetics and collector base. The material is overwhelmingly beautiful which can distract from its impact on contemporary art viewers. Often the narrative or conceptual ingredient we love in contemporary work is absent.
This show has some artists who have contemporary cred and have used the Bullseye facilities to make truly archival work. They are Ligia Bouton, Kate Clements, Emily Counts, Emily Nachison and Judy Tuwaletstiwa in show Transformations.
