E x h i b it i o n s The following places will host ongoing glass exhibitions during the GAS conference. These are the listings as of October 10, 2009. Speed Art Museum 2035 South Third St, Louisville, KY 40208 (502) 634-2700 www.speedmuseum.org Fifty Years of Contemporary Glass: Art, Craft, or Otherwise? Created around 1960, the international studio glass movement will, in 2010, move past the half-century mark. Fifty Years of Contemporary Glass: Art, Craft, or Otherwise? will look at the movement’s development from both a historical and a critical perspective. Drawing heavily from the Leonard and Adele Leight collection. Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory 800 West Main St, Louisville, KY 40202 (502) 585-5226 www.sluggermuseum.org Beyond Broken Windows: Baseball in Glass Scott Darlington and John Miller blow away the notion that baseball and glass don’t play well together. Miller’s outrageously large versions of ballpark food include hot dogs big enough to make Babe Ruth blush, and french fries you could swat a home run with. Darlington’s playful takes on the iconic elements of America’s pastime offer a fresh, fun perspective on the sport. Don’t miss this double play by two old glass-blowing buddies who want to take you out to the ballgame. From the Speed Art Museum, historical whiskey bottles have been selected from the Robinson Brown Collection. These historical bottles are coupled with contemporary art glass bottles. 14 Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft 715 West Main St, Louisville, KY 40202 (502) 589-0102 www.kentuckyarts.org Mark Peiser, A Life with Glass A mini-retrospective exhibit featuring works from all stages of the artist’s career drawn from his personal collection, select pieces from private collections and pieces from his most recent body of work.
