July 2 - September 26, 2010
We’re not blowing this one out of proportion. John Miller has already done that in his exhibition of larger-than-life blown glass works at PGC entitled “Hot Stuff” opening on Friday, July 2, 2010.
“Hot Stuff” features Miller’s Claes Oldenburg-like, over-sized goblets and glassware including martini and daiquiri glasses – some holding as much as five gallons – and some super-sized fast food from his “Blue Plate Special” series. Newer work, which he made during a residency at PGC this spring, includes keys and fobs for a really big car that Miller says was inspired by his grandmother’s Datsun. Also on display will be a variety of other gigantic blown glass objects.
He said, "I try to find an equilibrium between the intensity of glass blowing and the humor which can be found in art and the art-making process."
Hot Stuff is presented in conjunction with Morgan Contemporary Glass Gallery.
