Glass as Studio Practice and the New UC San Diego Glass Center

Alexander Rosenberg, BFA, MS

Alexander Rosenberg has recently relocated to San Diego to lead the new Glass Center at UC San Diego. In this talk he will discuss his work and the facilities and forthcoming glass center programs. His current body of work attempts to satisfy a deep curiosity, driving an investigation of the natural world through a practice rooted in research and experimentation. Most of his projects begin from a place of simple and sincere inquiry, the way a child might pursue a science project. He delves deeply into one notion at a time, but not in a typical contemporary research-based practice. Instead, much of his investigation creates new areas to be researched and new problems to be solved through unique virtuosic technical methods
