Esplanade Art Gallery, Medicine Hat, AB
July 1 – August 21, 2011
Reception with the Artists Friday July 8, 7pm
Free Admission, all welcome
In conjunction with the Downtown Artwalk
This unique group exhibition features a wide range of contemporary handmade hot glass art, from large scale sculpture to small vessels, by sixteen Alberta glass artists. The theme of Natural Flow: Contemporary Alberta Glass highlights the singular ability of hot glass to embody organic and biomorphic ideas, forms and forces. While the very nature of glass as an ‘amorphous solid’ – neither liquid nor solid - can lend it these qualities physically, the works in hot glass presented here take it a step beyond, evoking natural forces of change visually and also metaphorically, through a variety of strategies from imagery to humour and spiritual contemplation.
Artists in the Exhibition: Phillip Bandura, Bee Kingdom, Tim Belliveau, Cailey Buye, Ryan Marsh Fairweather, Robert Geyer, Brian Hall, Jeff Holmwood, Marty Kaufman, Deanna MacAulay, Darren Peterson, Julia Reimer, Tyler Rock, Natali Rodrigues, Kai Georg Scholefield, and Keith Walker
Natural Flow: Contemporary Alberta Glass joins the “glass filled summer” at the Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre along with Valid Objects of Beauty by Susan Rankin in the Art Gallery and Handmade by Altaglass in the Heritage Gallery.

New Glass Review
My work has been accepted into the magazine New Glass Review 32! Published by The Corning Museum of Glass, New Glass Review is an annual survey of glass in contemporary art, architecture, craft, and design created in the previous year by emerging and established artists.
My return to Canada
Arrival at the Calgary airport!...With my 150lbs of luggage in tow. My body was aching from hauling so much weight around! Hope none of my glass is broken!
Lesson learnt: travel lighter!...But what if I need those extra 4 pairs of shoes? :P
Tired and waiting for my shuttle. |

3 days in Copenhagen, Denmark
I spent 3 days in Copenhagen before flying out from Københavns Lufthavn.
On my first day, I took the train north to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art located in Humlebæk, Denmark. Louisiana is an international museum with a considerable collection of modern art. The museum’s permanent collection includes more than 3000 works and is one of the largest in Scandinavia. The museum frames the sculpture park facing the sea and the interaction between art, nature and the museum architecture is quite unique. Unfortunately, due to icy walkways, the sculpture park was closed during my visit.
The exhibition in the lower level, 'Denmark by Design' shows the development in Danish design from 1945-2010.
I then made my way to The Danish Museum of Art & Design. The museum brings together and documents the contemporary developments within industrial design, decorative and applied arts.

On day 2, I first visited the Danish Design Centre (DDC) in Copenhagen. The DDC permanent exhibition consists of a number of design icons from Denmark and the world. The centre also puts on a number of special exhibitions each year.
The main exhibition '10+ Design Forecast' accesses Danish design in the first ten years of the new millennium and examines which design trends have a big role to play in the years to come.
The upstairs exhibition 'The Danish Design Prize 2010/11' shows Danish design at its very best. The Danish Design Prize is awarded to companies that have created innovative products and solutions of a high aesthetic and functional quality, thus contributing to highlighting the value and stimulating the use of design.
In the exhibition, visitors are able to explore the prize-winning products and solutions, listen to interviews with the prize-winners and watch film clips where various users comment on the winning products.
And, some cute ceramics in the gift shop...
