European Glass Context 2021 Exhibitions
Four underlying categories will shape the exhibitions. By setting a contemporary framework for the exhibitions, we want to put together two exhibitions that will largely reflect significant and new works, as well as the innovative, activist, experimental and sustainable trends in European glass.
Ca. 60 artists will be represented with major significant works. A curatorial group of 7 glass professionals from selected regions in Europe will make the final selection of artists representing all 31 invited European countries.
Artwork can be made in any technique and form of artistic expression. The materials used in the artwork must be predominantly glass. Objects must be unique and not part of serial or industrial production. Artwork must be available throughout the full exhibition period. Artwork must be contemporary and made in 2016 or later, work produced before this time will not be accepted.
Who can participate?
All 27 members of the European Union as well as Iceland, Norway and Switzerland and UK are invited to participate in the EGC2021 exhibitions. Artists must be of the nationality or be a resident in the country they represent.
Exhibition categories
Site-specific installation projects or works: could be with reference to Bornholm.
UN Sustainability Goals: works based on one or more of the UN's sustainability goals.
Craft: unique master pieces and contemporary objects.
Social or political practices: works or processes originating from social or political practices.
The EGC2021 Prizes and Jury
Two prizes of € 10.000 € and € 5000 will be given to two outstanding artists or artists groups, selected among the participants in the exhibitions. A jury of three international members with expertise within the field of glass will go through the exhibitions before the opening and select the prize winners. The winners will be announced at the exhibition opening.
Exhibition Catalogue
The exhibitions are documented with an exhibition catalog. This publication with all participating countries also serves as a European statement and reference book for contemporary glass in Europe. The publication is therefore in demand in the country's largest libraries and can also be found in specialist libraries at educational institutions and museums around Denmark and in the rest of the world.
