EATABLE
GLASS (TABLE GLASSWARE)
Trieste, Museo
Revoltella, 20 November 2004 – 6 January 2005.
Venice, Ca’
Rezzonico, 25 September – 7 November 2004.
On Saturday 20 November, at 18.00, at Revoltella Museum
there will take place the opening of EaTable Glass
(Table Glassware)
and the award ceremony for the winners of the Competition.
The exhibition, organised by the Trieste Contemporanea
Committee in collaboration with Musei Civici Veneziani
and the Revoltella Museum of Trieste, is an integral
part of the Sixth
International Design Competition coordinated by
the Committee with the support of C.E.I. (Central
European Initiative), Veneto Region and Comune of
Venice Assessorato alla Cultura and the contribution
of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region, the CRTrieste
Foundation and the Comune of Trieste Assessorato alla
Cultura.
Can objects produced using the ancient art of Muranese
blown glass take on new forms and non-traditional
functions in tableware design? This is what Trieste
Contemporanea asked Italian and Central Eastern European
designers in its Sixth International Design Competition.
This edition of the competition saw the participation
of 201 designers from Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Germany, Italy, Lithuania,
Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Romania,
Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia, Ukraine and Hungary.
The exhibition – in the two venues of Venice and Trieste
– will present the objects designed by sixteen artists
selected by an international jury presided by Gillo
Dorfles.
Eight projects were chosen among those submitted for
the competition, while the remaining eight have been
created especially for the occasion by outstanding
Italian designers at the invitation of the commission.
In the course of the year 2005 the exhibition will
tour a number of European capitals, amongst which
Tallinn and Zagreb.
The exhibition adds greatly to the scope of the competition
as it stimulates creative research into new formal
and aesthetic approaches, within the field of contemporary
design, to traditional Muranese blown glass production
both by bringing it to the attention of an international
audience and by encouraging young designers to take
up the challenge of this particular technique.
It seems only appropriate that an initiative that
focuses on giving international resonance to new trends
of specialisation in this field should be inaugurated
in Venice, all the more so when the venue chosen for
the launch is Ca’ Rezzonico, the temple to the historic
Venetian creative talent, famous throughout Europe
for the fine quality and precious workmanship of its
furnishings.
Equally significant is the choice of Trieste as the
second venue, since it has for many years now borne
witness to the Committee’s passionate and qualified
commitment to operating as an ideal bridge with Eastern
Europe, as close physically as it is in terms of common
cultural concerns.
Amongst the objects selected by the jury, mention
must be made of the coffee set made of transparent
glass and murrina by the Italo-Swiss group led by
Francesco Gamba, first prize ex-aequo with “Roundelay”,
a set of vessels by Tiina Sarapu (Estonia). Also inspired
by regional traditions is the re-interpretation by
the Serb Simic Vukasin of the traditional rakija glass.
Amongst the most unusual objects, a cutting board
for polenta (Lorenzo Bonini - Italy) and a set of
dessert plates and bowls (Annika Giesbert – Germany).
The BEBA Foundation prize for the youngest designer
has been awarded to Elisa Rescaldani, a student of
the Academy of Brera, who submitted a project for
a set of original coloured plates, while the prize
for the best designer from Trieste goes to the oil-vinegar-salt-pepper
set by Lorena Matic.
The guest section includes some of the most prestigious
Italian designers, Piero Lissoni, Marta Laudani, Paolo
Rizzatto and Paolo Ulian (invited by Marco Romanelli),
glass artists, Yoichi Ohira and Pietro Lunetta (invited
by Attilia Dorigato), and artists tout court, Maurizio
Pellegrin and Alfredo Pirri (invited by Franco Jesurun).
All the artists were able to follow closely the execution
of the objects by masters Andrea Zilio and Giacomo
Barbini at the Anfora furnace in Murano.
TRE PARETI E UNA SCALA
Thirty years of activity 1974 - 2004 Studio Tommaseo
Trieste Italy
Studio Tommaseo, Trieste, May 15th – September
15th
“Tre pareti e una scala” means “Three walls and a
staircase”. It describes in a simple way the gallery
of Trieste that this year celebrates its thirty years
of activity. For the occasion the gallery presents
a selection of the artists that have been exposed
during this period. About eighty works cover the three
walls completely, like an old "quadreria".
During the four months of this exhibition some meetings
will take place in the Studio Tommaseo: artists, curators,
actors, writers, musicians will speak about the present
situation of art and culture and about the future’s
prospects.

2003 TRIESTE CONTEMPORANEA YOUNG EUROPEAN ARTIST
“NOFOCUS / DEMO”
a project by
NICOLAE COMANESCU
curated by Ruxandra Balaci
Trieste, Studio Tommaseo, via del Monte 2/1
October 30th - December 15th 2003
opening: Thursday October 30th, 6.30 pm
After the “2002 Trieste Contemporanea Young European
Artist”, Pawel Althamer, this year’s program of the
Trieste Contemporanea special section reserved to
the exhibition of the works of an emerging European
artist will present Nicolae Comanescu from Romania.
His project “NoFOCUS-Demo” displayed in the Trieste
Contemporanea gallery includes a video and large size
video stills-like prints.
Nicolae Comanescu was born in 1968. He works in Bucharest
and is, at the moment, one of the most active Romanian
artists, strongly involved in many projects all revolving
around the multi-stratified concepts of NoFOCUS &
Parasite. Intended as an open-ended project which
includes a multiplicity of layers within one conceptual
frame, NoFOCUS means images blurred out to create
new realities...
