Glass to Glass: Contemporary Art and Design in a Historic Venetian Pharmacy

exhibition · 2026-04-27

The exhibition 'Glass to Glass,' organized by Berengo Studio and WonderGlass, is on view until November 21, 2021, at two historic venues in Venice: the Fondazione Berengo's Art Space on Murano, inside a traditional glass furnace, and the Collezione Berengo, housed in one of the city's oldest pharmacies dating to the early 1700s. The show features works by international artists and designers including nendo, Maarten Baas, John Pawson, and Sam Baron, all using Murano glass as their medium. The juxtaposition of contemporary creations with centuries-old settings highlights the dialogue between avant-garde design and traditional craftsmanship.
