Circulation of artists and glass artworks and exchanges among operators of the European glass context is the main objective of the EGE project.Glasswork, an age-old craft, has developed into art in the 20th century. Today artists from around the world use this material which resembles nothing else. Insufficiently known in Europe, “glass sculptures” have not yet gained full recognition. This is what the EGE project wants to work forwards. By creating a network of museums owning relevant glass collections in Europe, EGE aims at contributing to give to glass a new recognition in contemporary art.The three internationally renewed glass museum partners, located in Murano-Venice (IT), in Riihimaki (FI) and in San Ildefonso (ES), with the support of a Scientific Director and of Promovetro, will design a “glass experience” itinerary composed of three exhibitions, one in each museum. The glass artworks to be shown will be chosen through a competition open to young artists: 40 artworks and 80 sketches will be selected.Each of the two first exhibitions will show 20 completed works and 80 sketches, that eventually can become part of the museums’ permanent collection. During each exhibition the public will be invited to vote for the best sketch and the 20 best ones will be produced in Murano and shown in the final exhibition.During the opening of the three exhibitions some events will be organised in order to promote the intercultural dialogue, through the collaboration among artists of various cultures and through the sharing, with the public, of the skills of making art with glass. Innovative tools, such as social networks and interactive exhibitions, will be used to involve actively citizens and to draw them into the glass creation world. This process won’t end with the conclusion of the project, but it will continue through the enlargement of the glass art operator network and the promotion of a biennial appointment dedicated to the latest trends in European glass art
