OPENING: Czech glass meets Australian ethnic music in cross-cultural collaboration

FILED UNDER: Events, Opening

For “Talking Glass”, an exhibition now on view through September 10 at the Czech Center New York, designer and architect Borek Sipek and didgeridoo player Ondrej Smeykal have come together to design and craft glass didgeridoos, wind instruments first crafted by indigenous people in Australia some 1,500 years ago. These instruments are not just for music, nor are they merely a design curiosity, but fall somewhere in between aesthetic function and aesthetic fascination — in an effort to catch the eye of musicians as well as artists and designers working in glass, in addition to the general public.
