Summary: The State Hermitage Museum and Berengo Studio are delighted to announce a joint exhibition Glasstress 2015 Gotika which explores how medieval ideas and communication methods have imperceptibly crept into our modern conscience despite our technological advances and how the Gothic concept influences contemporary art. The Gothic style, born in European visual art and architecture, was the first international style, the common language and modus vivendi of many nations for at least four centuries. In like fashion, contemporary art has become the international style, the "Biblia pauperum,” understood today from Europe to America, from North Africa to Japan. Glasstress 2015 Gotika will combine historical works from the Hermitage collection and newly commissioned art works in glass, all with a Gothic theme. It will be on exhibit at the Palazzo Franchetti in Venice, a Gothic palazzo in one of the most Gothic cities in the world. Glasstress 2015 Gotika will also be on exhibit on Murano at the Berengo Foundation in a glass furnace that has not been used for decades. (^Forthcoming^)
