Corning's New Glass Review

Dani · Post by **Dani** » Mon Oct 06, 2003 4:04 pm

None of my slides have come home from other places, so I won't be able to submit this year. However, I thought I'd post a reminder that the deadline is coming up.... I think October 15th. Good luck!

Dani- I'm submitting a slide of my scrap bin, a close up, and another of a pile of light bulbs, mostly dead ones, on my driveway, surrounding my van.

Or has that been done before?

Well, I think one of the winners last year was a bunch of beer bottles tied together with a rope, so you're on the right track.

As for me, I'm working on emptying the beer bottles. I might slump them before I tie them together.

After I empty them, I usually slump myself. Am I detecting a hint . . . a frisson . . . a soupcon . . . of discontent with some of the picks? That photo of the champagne bottles floating in islands in the bay was fantastic. And remember, "Photographs about art aren't about art, they're about photography" . . . that's the corollorary to, "Writing about art isn't about art, it's about writing".

So the New Glass Review is a joke?

But I invite discussion from any interested parties . . .

As I said I would after last year's NGR I did broach the subject of a large glass test tube to my husband (as a counterpart to the breasts wrapped in glass that made it in last year). Strangely he seemed unenthusiastic about it...

Entitled

Stolen

The winner of the Turner prize was

So a room theme is obviously a good one for 2004

I should say that I don't think the NGR is a joke. I thought about half of the entries last year were exceptional work. As far as the other half--well that's another long thread/discussion about the direction modern art has taken and whether one thinks it has validity or not.
