"The exhibition has the ambition to draw attention to ten contemporary Czech authors who create from glass distinctive and full-blown works of art. The presented artists are diverse in terms of age and professional experience. My intention was to present a diverse mosaic of approaches to glass and to show how they intervene in other areas of art, to demonstrate the possibilities of its connection with non-traditional materials. My point of view was to capture enthusiasm of the authors to improve the field of studio glass art."
