Maria Grazia Rosin - Red Carpet
The red carpet has become the world’s most mediatised stage set. Walking it is a right of passage that symbolises the ultimate consecration or confirmation of artistic achievement. Maria Grazia Rosin's Red Carpet installation during The Venice Glass Week at Palazzo Bragadin was organised by Atelier Visconti, Paris and becomes the main event within an event: glass discs are aligned to form a hypothetical pathway that morphs into a ceremonial red catwalk. The work reflects on the celebration of image and spectacle in contemporary society.

Allegra Hicks - Inside Outside II
The monumental 20m Venice - glass-bead textile piece - echoes Allegra Hick’s signature use of embroidery, propelling the artist into the world of glassmaking. The piece reflects this transient sense of beginning; the ephemeral space between the outside of the body and the inside, between the female and male–in brief–the flux of life. Three painted beaded canvases attempt to decipher this fluidity of life. Like in the body, where veins and capillaries allow the blood to flow, so horizontally embroidered Murano canna beads - present in only three sizes and three shades of blue - create a strong energetic vibration, taking us on a journey through an imaginary corridor from each side towards the centre, the vulva: l’Origine du Monde.

Alice Diaz de Santillana
An inspiring stroll through the Forum, during Alice Diaz de Santillana's stay in Rome, generated silhouettes or shadows of broken or weathered columns, fragments of feeling and allegory. Keta and Stili are glass stools that trace stone drums depriving them of all gravity, but capturing the continuum of the sign and the spatial significance. The detail of the proportions tapered upwards in a barely perceptible way, contains the code of interpretation and brings to mind the capital, whether Doric, Ionic or papyrus-shaped, alluding to a minimal idea of a plinth hoisted high on the shaft. The hyaline transparency does the rest, a convector of a lost language, imbued with a suggestion without chronologies or barriers. The exhibition was organized by Elisabeth Royer S.R.L. - contact@royer.paris.
