There’s no need to travel to Italy to see provocative works of contemporary glass art. From now through Sept. 5, the Boca Raton Museum of Art debuts “Glasstress Boca Raton 2021,” a showcase of 34 international artists who created works in collaboration with master glass artisans at the Berengo Studio on the island of Murano in the Venetian lagoon. The museum’s Senior Curator, Kathleen Goncharov, traveled to Italy in 2019 to handpick work, many that are being exhibited for the first time. More than 6,500 square feet of exhibition space is dedicated to this collection, with new works exploring some of today’s pressing subjects such as human rights, climate change, racial justice, gender issues and politics by world-renowned artists including Ai Weiwei, Vik Muniz, Monica Bonvicini, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Thomas Schütte, Erwin Wurm and more.
