Future Horizons – Podcast enters its third season

For decades, the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung has been promoting, collecting and exhibiting glass in the context of contemporary art. What began in December 2000 as a vision—to sustainably strengthen the neglected, overlooked, or even unique and special aspects of art and science—has now become an internationally acclaimed  collection of contemporary glass in art.

The anniversary exhibition Future Horizons. Glass in Contemporary Art brings together sculptures and installations by almost 50 international artists. The third season of the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung podcast takes you on a journey through this art collection and the fascinating world of working with glass. Each episode features artists from the exhibition or experts who work with glass in contemporary art.

The first episode of the third season of the podcast is available now. It focuses on American artist Dale Chihuly, his work Jerusalem Cylinder, and the Pilchuck Glass School in the USA, which he co-founded. It is a story about the beginnings of working with glass in art and in the studio glass movement—and about how works of art are created from sand and fire. In addition to the artist, this podcast also features Reino Liefkes, curator at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and Michael Endo, artistic director of the Pilchuck Glass School. It is hosted by Sarah Fischbacher, journalist at BR and podcast author, with script and production by 48forward and Jaya Mirani, freelance journalist at Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

The podcast is also available wherever podcasts are available.
