In Shanghai, artists honor the beauty and possibilities of glass by giving new life to discarded glass and ceramics
The Shanghai Museum of Glass is now hosting a new exhibition “My Flower Doesn't Have a Name Yet”, featuring art pieces made of glass, honoring the beauty and possibilities of glass. Outstanding young artists including Du Men, Huang Ji, Li Songlin, Mu Chenyang, Qin Yuling, and Xie Wendi have been invited to interpret the theme “My Flower Doesn't Have a Name Yet” in a playful way.
For this exhibition, the Shanghai Museum of Glass is working with a global-leading innovator in materials science Corning Incorporated to establish a commissioning unit, where artists use unwanted materials or discarded products to create upcycled art pieces, enlightening the public's understanding of sustainable development. Created using the theme of “UNDEFINED,” these combinations of science and art aim to ignite sparks, expand understanding of sustainability, and encourage viewers to break boundaries and go beyond their limits.
This exhibition serves as a capstone event for the United Nations’ International Year of Glass celebration, in which Corning played a pivotal role. The exhibition opened on Dec. 3, 2022, at the Shanghai Museum of Glass and runs through April 9, 2023.
