23rd May -15th June 2008

At the Bugno Art Gallery in Campo San Fantin a one-man exhibition by Joe Tilson have been held since 23rd May: Tilson in Murano. This original and eclectic English artist is displaying, until 15th June, his glass works of art that represent the fruits of a work of observation carried out for two years in the kiln of Silvio Signoretto in Murano. His glass sculptures transmit symbolic signs in space, absorbing ancient characters as well as words of a mythical past. Such complex operation wants to show how contemporary art is able to make ancient historical expressions topical again.
