  • Reflecting Antiquity Explores the Rediscovery of Roman Glass and Its Influence on Modern Glass Production
    Reflecting Antiquity explores the rediscovery of Roman glass and its influence on modern glass production. It brings together 112 objects from more than 24 lenders, featuring ancient Roman originals as well as the modern replicas they inspired. Following are some of the highlights on view in the exhibition. Portland Vase Base Disk The Portland Vase is the most important and famous work of cameo glass to have survived from ancient Rome. Modern analysis of the vase, with special attention to the elongation of the bubbles preserved in the lower body, suggest that it was originally shaped as an amphora (storage vessel) with a pointed base. At some point in antiquity, the vessel suffered some damage and acquired this replacement disk. The male figure and the foliage on the disk were not carved by the same Unknown artist that created the mythological frieze on the vase. Wearing a Phrygian cap Portland Vase Base Disk Roman, 25 B.C.–A.D. 25 and pointing to his mouth in a gesture of uncertainty, the young man is Paris, a Glass Object: Diam.: 12.2 cm (4 13/16 in.) prince of Troy who chose Aphrodite over Hera and Athena as the most beautiful British Museum. London, England GR1945.9-27.2 goddess on Mount Olympus. It is clear from the way the image is truncated that VEX.2007.3.1 it was cut from a larger composition, presumably depicting the Judgment of Paris. The Great Tazza A masterpiece of cameo-glass carving, this footed bowl (tazza) consists of five layers of glass: semiopaque green encased in opaque white, green, a second white, and pink.

    The investigation into the development of glass as an expressive medium in China through direct contact with Western methods of making, decoration and forming. By XUE LU (Shelly) MA.

Signature: …………………. Date: ………………………. Abstract 2 Abstract This thesis is an investigation into the development of glass as an expressive medium in China through direct contact with Western methods of making, decoration and forming glass. The investigation proceeds through an analysis of the parallels between glass objects produced from Kangxi (1662-1722) to Qianlong period (1736-96), and contemporary practitioners’ (2000-2009), which is complemented by my own practice. The investigation mainly looks at three aspects and their inter-relationship within these strands. They are: 1) the history of glassmaking from 1696 to 1795 in the Qing dynasty with Western influences; 2) the analysis of Contemporary Chinese studio/academic glass within the imported UK model; 3) the development of my personal glass practice within this matrix.

    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 10 (2017 10) 1507-1524 ~ ~ ~ УДК 7.05 Scientific Modelling of Decorative and Applied Arts of the Indigenous Small-Numbered Peoples of the Krasnoyarsk Territory: Current State and Ways of Effective Development Maria A. Kolesnik and Alexandra A. Sitnikova* Siberian Federal University 79 Svobodny, Krasnoyarsk, 660041, Russia Received 01.06.2017, received in revised form 02.10.2017, accepted 09.10.2017 The article presents a scientific model of the traditional functioning of the decorative and applied arts of the indigenous peoples of the Krasnoyarsk Territory (Krai). This is an “ecological model”, since it implies careful and economical use of all natural resources being extracted. The current state of the decorative and applied arts of the indigenous small-numbered peoples of the Krasnoyarsk Territory North is described by a scientific model, which is perceived as a “model of symbolic consumption”. The authors analyzed main types of souvenirs produced by the indigenous minorities of the North of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, namely beadwork, bone carving works, festival clothes, taxidermy items, shaman attributes, doll amulets, etc. The researchers offered a scientific model of ways to develop the decorative and applied arts of the indigenous small-numbered peoples the Krasnoyarsk Territory North. These include the improvement of the “symbolic consumption” system first at the level of souvenir production, then at the level of creating ethnocultural villages and ethnic parks, and, finally, at the level of creating contemporary art works to be understandable and interesting internationally. Keywords: decorative and applied arts, the indigenous small-numbered peoples, souvenirs of the indigenous peoples of the North, ethnic park, development models for the decorative and applied arts of the indigenous peoples of the North.

    WCC APR South Pacific Report 2017-2018 Vice President WCC APR South Pacific Lindy Joubert [email protected] The WCC APR South Pacific region is an area of huge cultural diversity composed of three major island groups, each one with several thousand islands containing their own environmental and cultural characteristics. Communication across the Pacific is difficult and finding information on the crafts in Pacific countries is not easy. Australia and New Zealand continue to lead the way with a good emphasis on the crafts and maintaining healthy crafts climates. Australia Craft artisans, craft NGOs and craft business organisations continue to flourish and survive in spite of the constant financial restraints due to lack of support from a government funding agency. As the World Craft Council Australia reported: While we might celebrate the return of funds to the Australia Council, it is only to find that much of it is going to ballet and opera. Crafts desperately needs a strong voice to support the many who can use support to make works of lasting beauty to enhance the lives of all Australians.22 March 2017 Thanks to the formation of the World Craft Council Australia under the Immediate Past- President Marian Hosking, alongside the excellent communication management by Kevin Murray and the active and enthusiastic Board. WoCCAis growing and building a solid network of outstanding crafts people in every state. The newly elected President/Chair is Jude van der Merwe and we all welcome her extensive experience in the Australian crafts. Some news from members: Jude van der Merwe,President / Chair, World Craft Council Australia.WoCCA Jude reports that in Western Australia, she is developing a major exhibition to be held at the Art Gallery of Western Australiafeaturing the works of significant craft artists from the Indian Ocean Rim.
