The Glass Art Society has announced a new lecture that will become a regular part of its annual conference. Named for the recognized founder of Studio Glass, Harvey Littleton, the lecture will be presented by a glass artist chosen for his or her ability to express individuality in the medium. The inaugural Littleton lecture will be delivered by Therman Statom during the arist association's upcoming conference in San Jose, California, which will take place from June 7th through the 9th with the theme of "Interface: Glass, Art, and Technology."
Recognized as an innovator in glass, Statom is known for his contemporary glass works that involve gluing painted glass plates together to create life-size glass ladders, chairs, tables, constructed box-like paintings, and small scale houses. Statom's work has been exhibited at the Toledo Museum of Art, Smithsonian Institution, Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, and Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art in Japan.
