About this podcast
For years, the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung has been collecting, preserving, and researching 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 one of the most significant collections of contemporary glass in art worldwide.
The anniversary exhibition Future Horizons: Glass in Contemporary Art brings together sculptures and installations by around 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 in contemporary art. Each episode features artists from the exhibition or experts who work with glass in contemporary art.


Episode 1
Dale Chihuly and the Jerusalem Cylinder

With Dale Chihuly, Michael Endo, and Reino Liefkes

Episode 1 focuses on 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.
