Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
2013 ArtPrize Venue Exhibition Center
Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park will be hosting an invitational exhibition around the medium of glass in sculptural form. The exhibition explores the depth and dimension of sculpture by artists working in glass. A sculptural entity in its own right, contemporary glass is marked by creative, conceptual and formal explorations in keeping with the dynamic persona of contemporary art at large. Gathering together artists from across the globe, this exhibition breaks down preconceptions about glass art, shattering traditional boundaries for an understanding of sculpture as well. As a result, this presentation offers a global panorama of contemporary glass. This exhibition is organized in partnership with Habatat Gallery.
One of the world’s most significant botanic and sculpture experiences, Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park serves more than a half-million visitors annually. The 134-acre grounds feature Michigan’s largest tropical conservatory; one of the largest children’s gardens in the country; arid and Victorian gardens with bronze sculptures by Degas and Rodin; a carnivorous plant house; outdoor gardens; and a 1750-seat outdoor amphitheater, featuring an eclectic mix of world-renowned musicians every summer. The internationally acclaimed Sculpture Park features a permanent collection including works by Rodin, Oldenburg, Moore, Bourgeois, and Plensa among others. Indoor galleries host changing sculpture exhibitions with recent exhibitions by Borofsky, Plensa, Calder, and Jim Dine.
