Glasstress 2013 is a collateral exhibition taking place in Venice during the Venice Biennale. Its purpose is to show what can artists create with glass, since it is usually seen as a used only for decoration, especially in the context of Venice and Murano. What is encouraging is the fact that many artists positively responded to this call, and now the exhibition is already established and people are curious to see the results. Also, it is very important the fact that it asks craft and working with people that know how to manipulate this material.
One of the artists present is Javier Perez, who is more and more visible on the art scene. His work here was the famous crow and chandelier piece, which creates a powerful impact in a white room, because of the blood-flood that looks to have taken place there. It is an important work for the artist who, in 2001, represented Spain at the Venice Biennale:

Jaume Plensa is famous for his interest in the way light works with glass and bronze. Indeed, his work at the Glasstress exhibition can be characterized as glass meeting light, as simple as that. He is also interested in scenography, so his range of works expands a lot and he gets to experiment new materials.

Tracey Emin needs no introduction. The artist developed a style where the personal life is expressed through art, shocking the audience, especially at the beginning of her career, when the public was probably not ready for such confessions.

A beautiful project comes from Mimmo Paladino who is a painter, and this is where you understand better the purpose of this project, since you see the direct effect of changing the medium. As a painter, he was interested in abstractionism and he was a representative figure in the Transavangarde movement. Here, he creates a sculpture reminding of winter and ice. An underevaluated material gets into the spotlight and it should stay there:

Oliver Clegg is obsessed with the materials he works with, as well as with the way his works interact with light. He feels at his ease both painting, drawing or using wood or, as you can see below, glass. Indeed, the work looks as if it were the mastership of an artists that works on a conceptual level, as well:
