Kendell Geers is featured in 'Glasstress'
Coinciding with the 59th Venice Biennale, the seventh edition of 'Glasstress' features a group of leading contemporary artists from Europe, the United States, Latin America and Africa in an ambitious exhibition which explores the creative possibilities of glass. The artworks are exhibited at the Fondazione Berengo Art Space in Murano, an old abandoned furnace that was transformed into a unique exhibition space a few years ago. This extensive group show, curated by Adriano Berengo and Koen Vanmechelen with the contribution of Ludovico Pratesi, grounds contemporary art in the ancient art of Murano glassblowing, aiming to search for new contemporary visual vocabulary in glass art.
A recurring contributer to 'Glasstress', Kendell Geers is exhibited alongside artists including Jimmie Durham, Tony Cragg, Monira Al Qadiri and Thomas Schütte. The exhibition was previously on show at General Staff Building, St Petersburg, Russia in 2021, and Fondazione Berengo Art Space, Venice, Italy.
