Osmosi is a limited edition of
glass-and-marble furniture sculptures. By combining new technology with
traditional craftsmanship, a virtual fusion is made. The materials are
put together with high-level digital precision — they are separate
pieces, but each has no meaning without the other. Like Cinderella and
the glass shoe, there is only one unique piece of glass that can fit
into one unique piece of marble, fitting together by gravity alone.
Emmanuel Babled - Osmosi Complement 7
The soul of the place through its
physical-cultural landscape. Feminine, sensual and delicate volumes that
are raw, strong and disturbing at the same time. With the Murano
technique of free-blown glass, we learn to recognize and appreciate the
beauty of accidents and imperfections that can arise at the moment of
the object's birth, from the cut of the "umbilical cord" [the stem = the
glass master's hand] to become an object in itself. LIFE.
Daniela Busarello - A liquid world. The meaning of life
Reach stresses the significance of parts played during a process, and the aftermath and narrative that evolves from this. What spawns and generates shape and expression, and the possibilities that arise through interaction between materials. These objects express a sense of movement with an elastic and subtle feeling to them. Traces from the process are accentuated, and encourage a curious dialogue between object, narrative and viewer
Ida Wieth - Reach
The artist developed his own technique, which unifies the two glass melting techniques: glassblowing and melting in an electric furnace. By “hot glass,” he refers to the liquid-like nature of glowing glass. To emphasize this character, he finishes the creative process with cold glass grinding and polishing, because this is the only way he can show the internal behaviour of the material.

Re-Cultivating, a project created by Leslie Ann Genninger for The Venice Glass Week, captivates her continuing dialogue between past and present Murano. Juxtaposed vintage and contemporary Murano Glass elements, leaves and flowers, created decades ago by Murano's chandelier glass maestri, blossom in this re-imagined composition... a submerged island in a fragile lagoon to re-cultivate, renovate, revitalize... VivaVetro!

"I look at the sea. This familiar infiniteness, I have stayed on its shorecountless times. Still -disconnected from time.I contemplate how some moments are the most meaningful, how they can define your whole person. For me time is an invisible companion. We dive through it, we navigate through it with the help of our memory.I have wanted to give form to the invisible. Even if it was a mere whisper." Sini Majuri - The time

Onar questions our sense of common responsibility towards the
environment. Onar turns to a material both fragile and durable such as
glass, to sculpt the face masks as detritus from a remote past, almost
in the manner of an archaeological artifact; a gesture reflecting on the
never-ending present of modernity and raising consciousness of our
precarious futures.Feleksan Onar - #GetmePPE
Lots of facts, thoughts and stories are
written and fixed in books and stored for years or even centuries in
impressive libraries such as that of Palazzo Loredan. Truskaite’s art
work is concerned with exclusive libraries. It's about things that can
be felt but are difficult to put into words, about things that are
unwritten, unsaid and stored in the libraries of our hearts or thoughts. Dalia Truskaite - Unsaid 
Murano's Secrets with Francesco da Mosto is a 20-minute docu-film made
in July 2021 for The Venice Glass Week. The voice and charisma of
Venetian architect and author Francesco da Mosto, especially well-known
for his highly successful BBC documentaries, accompany us on a journey
around the island of Murano to uncover some of its secrets and learn
about the world-famous art of glassmaking. How do you make a glass
object? Can a young person become a master glassmaker today? Starting
with some historical background, da Mosto takes us to admire the
magnificent glass objects and art works preserved within Murano's Glass
Museum, before immersing us in the world of glass production,
accompanied by some key figures in the sector. Michela Cattai, artistic
director of Venini - a brand that celebrates its centenary this year -
opens the doors of its historic furnace, while the island's youngest
master glassmaker, Roberto Beltrami, tells us how he fell in love with
the art of glass. All this demonstrates that world of Murano glass is
very much "alive" today, and The Venice Glass Week provides the ideal opportunity to find out more. Francesco da Mosto - Murano's Secrets
