New exhibition Future Horizons festively opened
On Thursday, October 9, the major anniversary exhibition Future Horizons. Glass in Contemporary Art was festively opened in the BlackBox and BlackBox FirstFloor of the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung.
To mark the foundation’s 25th anniversary, guests of honor Markus Blume, Bavarian Minister of State for Science and the Arts, and Reino Liefkes, Senior Curator and Head of Ceramics and Glass at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, also spoke.
After a welcome Dr. Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek, Chairwoman and Co-founder of the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung, and Dr. Petra Giloy-Hirtz, Curator, introduced the exhibition. Guests were then served drinks and a flying dinner.
Approximately 250 visitors took the opportunity to discover around 70 impressive works of contemporary art using glass as a medium in the BlackBox and BlackBox FirstFloor. Some of the nearly 50 internationally represented artists were also present in person, including Jens Gussek, Shirazeh Houshiary, Franz Xaver Höller, Antoine Leperlier, Ju Young Kim, and Neringa Vasiliauskaite. This evening, which was so special for the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung, culminated in a party with DJ Raoul Tosa on the turntables.
The exhibition Future Horizons. Glass in Contemporary Art is on view until 28 May 2026, and offers a diverse and exciting accompanying program.
