FUSE Glass Artist Residency

Introduction
JamFactory and Carrick Hill are proud
to present the 2023 FUSE Glass Artist
Residency Exhibition.
Awarded biennially in alternate years to
the FUSE Glass Prize, the FUSE Glass Artist
Residency aims to create significant
opportunities for established, mid-career
artists working in glass. The residency at
JamFactory in Adelaide enables a selected
artist to work with skilled assistants, take risks
and experiment with the development of new
work using or incorporating hot blown glass.
Adelaide-based artist Marcel Hoogstad Hay
was selected from a competitive field of
applicants as the 2023 recipient of the FUSE
Glass Artist Residency and we are grateful
to the three judges who assessed the
applications - venerated South Australian
glass artist Clare Belfrage, the Head of
JamFactory’s Glass Studio Kristel Britcher
and Carrick Hill Board Member Jeff Mincham.
Hoogstad Hay has spent over 10 years
working with glass. He graduated from the
ANU School of Art and Design, Canberra in
2012 and completed the Associate Program
at JamFactory in 2014. He was a finalist in
the FUSE Glass Prize in 2020 and the
Tom Malone Prize in 2021 and 2022.
As a local artist, Hoogstad Hay chose to
undertake his residency over two intense
blocks in June and July 2023. New work
developed through the residency is the focus
of this solo exhibition presented in the Wall
Gallery at Carrick Hill from 4 November 2023
to 28 January 2024.
The FUSE Glass Artist Residency has been
developed as an extension of the successful
FUSE Glass Prize. It provides a platform to
encourage artists residing in Australia or
New Zealand working in glass, to push
themselves and their work to new limits,
and to focus significant public attention on
the importance of glass as a medium for
contemporary artistic expression. The biennial
prize, which was established by JamFactory
in 2016, is a juried, non-acquisitive, $20,000
cash prize for established artists. An
additional prize – the David Henshall
Emerging Artist Prize, valued at $10,000,
is awarded to an emerging glass artist.
