Pittsburgh Glass Center has hosted many amazing artists in residence including CUD, Nadege Desgenetez, Fritz Dreisbach, Henry Halem, Hilary Harp, Richard Hirsch, Claire Kelly and Anthony Schafermeyer, Jill Reynolds and Michael Rogers. Additionally, most of these artists were featured in an exhibit in The Hodge Gallery at PGC.
During their residency, Gwylene Gallimard & Jean Marie Mauclet will explore the developments along Penn Avenue over the last 10 years and how artistic intervention has changed the neighborhood.
They have been working together for over 30 years in France and the United States. They are mixed media artists specializing in cast resin (i.e. plastic), but have never previously worked in glass. Their residency and exhibition are part of PGC’s Bridge Artist program, which allows non-glass artists to be connected with master glass artists to help them realize their vision in glass.
Gallimard and Mauclet will work with residents of the surrounding neighborhoods to create an installation in the Hodge Gallery that illustrates the changes and future of Penn Ave as an arts destination.
Exhibition Opening: October 7, 2011
