SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Bertil Vallien – A Journey Through Light, Time, and Memory
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:With the special exhibition *Bertil Vallien – A Journey Through=0D=0ALight, Time, and Memory*, the Glass Museum presents an impressive=0D=0Ashowcase of the extraordinary work of renowned Swedish glass artist=0D=0ABertil Vallien. The exhibition offers a gateway into his enigmatic=0D=0Avisual worlds, inviting visitors to pause, uncover their own memories,=0D=0Aand perceive the invisible within the visible.=0D=0A=0D=0AFor over six decades, Vallien has explored the potential of glass as a=0D=0Amedium, developing a distinctive artistic language. His sculptures=0D=0Aspeak of memory and transience, dream and reality—and of the=0D=0Afundamental questions of human existence.=0D=0A=0D=0AVallien gained international acclaim primarily for his pioneering work=0D=0Ausing the sand-casting technique, which has left an enduring mark on=0D=0Athe art of glass. His pieces appear as artifacts from a bygone=0D=0Acivilization, yet simultaneously as messages from the deepest recesses=0D=0Aof the human psyche. They preserve memories, experiences, and stories=0D=0Awithin a material that absorbs, transforms, and uniquely reveals=0D=0Alight.=0D=0A=0D=0AAmong his most well-known works are his mysterious boats, which serve=0D=0Aas symbols of departure, transition, and the human journey through=0D=0Atime and memory. Furthermore, series such as *Heads* and *Dreams*=0D=0Aoffer fascinating glimpses into inner worlds; here, heads become=0D=0Alandscapes of consciousness where past and future, dream and reality=0D=0Aconverge.=0D=0A=0D=0AA pivotal moment in Vallien’s creative process is the casting=0D=0Aitself: as molten, glowing glass flows into prepared sand molds, a=0D=0Aworld is briefly brought into being—one that only fully reveals=0D=0Aitself as it slowly cools. Liquid fire is transformed into a permanent=0D=0Aform; a fleeting instant becomes a memory. Today, his works are held=0D=0Ain the collections of some of the world’s most renowned=0D=0Amuseums—including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the=0D=0AState Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the Corning Museum of Glass,=0D=0Athe Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Louvre in Paris. In=0D=0Aaddition to his independent artistic work, Vallien designed thousands=0D=0Aof glass and design objects for the celebrated glass manufacturer=0D=0AKosta Boda. His public work is equally impressive; since the 1960s, he=0D=0Ahas created monumental installations for museums, universities,=0D=0Achurches, opera houses, airports, and public buildings.=0D=0A
