FOREWORD Wagga Wagga City Council is pleased to present the National Student Art Glass Prize 2012. This significant 2
initiative of Wagga Wagga Art Gallery and the National Art Glass Gallery has become a landmark event on the Australian art glass calendar and continues to build ties and help promote the passion showed by the glass departments from the Australian National University in Canberra, Monash University in Victoria, the university of Sydney, University of South Australia and Curtin University in Western Australia. The National Student Art Glass Prize 2012 continues to be a great opportunity for Wagga Wagga Art Gallery to increase its collection of Australian art glass and to showcase the best student work in the country in Wagga Wagga every two years. Exhibitions such as this highlight innovation and visual arts excellence in regional New South Wales as well as art glass of the highest quality from around Australia. The National Art Glass Gallery is one of the major tourist attractions in Wagga Wagga, making a valuable contribution to the cultural tourism economy with over 45,000 visitors every year. This exhibition continues to help promote the importance of the National Art Glass Gallery and the National Art Glass Collection to a wider audience on a local, national and international stage. I would like to extend my thanks to the curator Michael Scarrone, and the staff at Wagga Wagga Art Gallery for the development and coordination of this event. The National Student Art Glass Prize 2012 is an important event for Wagga Wagga and I am pleased to endorse it.
Clr. Kerry Pascoe Mayor of the City of Wagga Wagga
ENCOURAGING THE NEXT GENERATION The National Student Art Glass Prize 2012 (NSAGP) rewards creativity, innovation and quality. It’s not the artists’ 3
reputation or name being judged but the artistic merit technique and innovation behind their art practice. The NSAGP is an acquisitive prize and is open to all artists studying art glass at an Australian university. The quality of work coming out of these institutions meant the inaugural biennial NSAGP (2010) had 40 artists from around Australia short-listed and was then reduced to 24 finalists with Belinda Toll from the Australian National University in Canberra, taking out the top award. This year 45 artists have been short-listed and from this 30 finalists have been chosen. The NSAGP exhibition is an eagerly anticipated opportunity to view a cross section of art glass being produced in this country and is a major highlight on the Australian art glass calendar. The passion and commitment shown by the lecturers, tutors and academics from Sydney College of the Arts at the University of Sydney, Monash University in Victoria, South Australian School of Art at the University of South Australia, the School of Art at the Australian National University in Canberra, and Edith Cowan University in Western Australia is overwhelming and inspiring. As with the inaugural 2010 NSAGP, the winner of the 2012 prize will not only have their work acquired for the National Art Glass Collection but will receive two Masterclasses at the renowned North Lands Creative Glass Centre on the north east coast of Scotland as part of North Lands International Masterclasses and Conference Program. The Australian studio glass community is highly professional; this is due in large part to the institutions and the training that artists receive. It is because of this professional attitude and the vast variety of techniques that national and international collectors have a passion for Australian contemporary art glass. The NSAGP gives the viewer the chance to engage with art glass practices that push beyond the mainstream and embrace innovative techniques and experimental conceptual ideas. As with the 2010 NSAGP visitors coming to view this exhibition will be treated to works created by casting, fusing, pâte de verre, diamond engraving, hot
sculpting, murrini, digital projection and many more inventive approaches. This prize also allows the viewer to see 4
the impact Australian institutions are having on the next generation of art glass practitioners and offers a glimpse into the future of this magnificent art form. The national and international recognition of the NSAGP continues to expand and to fulfil one of its core tasks; to help develop and promote the profile of new artists. Once again the Wagga Wagga Art Gallery is delighted by the quality of work on display and is proud to be fostering the next generation of Australian contemporary art glass makers.
