Dans le labyrinthe: Un voyage liminal

This publication accompanies the eponymous exhibition at the Vitromusée Romont, for which Philip Baldwin (b. 1947) and Monica Guggisberg (b. 1955) explore the theme of the labyrinth and present several works of glass art from their recent exhibitions in France, England, and Denmark, as well as new works created especially for the Vitromusée Romont. Their preoccupation with ancient history, the migratory nature of humanity, and the interconnected relationships of objects with form, function, aesthetic beauty, and symbolic meaning combine in ways that illustrate the artists' unique perspectives across civilizations going back thousands of years. With contributions from internationally renowned specialists, the catalog reflects the reinterpretation of a classical theme in contemporary glass art.

Cette publication est consacrée aux artistes contemporains Philip Baldwin (*1947) et Monica Guggisberg (*1955) et à leur exploration du thème du labyrinthe. Leur intérêt pour l’histoire antique, les pérégrinations de l’humanité et les relations réciproques entre forme, fonction, beauté esthétique et signification symbolique des objets expriment le point de vue unique des artistes. Le livre contient des contributions d’experts de renommée internationale et un essai rédigé par les artistes eux-mêmes qui reflètent les tendances artistiques actuelles et entraînent le lecteur dans un voyage liminal à travers les chemins labyrinthiques de l’art du verre contemporain.
