Indepth Arts News: "Exquisite Pilgrim: Libby Pace and Gillian Durko Puryear" 2003-05-22 until 2003-08-16 Urban Glass, Robert Lehman Gallery Brooklyn, NY, USA United States of America
Executive Director, Dawn Bennett comments: “The artworks of Pace and Puryear share a special affinity; while they are feminine they are not necessarily feminist. The artists continue to explore what it means to be a woman in a post-women’s revolutionary world.”
The installation - composed of glass (lampworked, blown, kilncast, engraved) found objects, and sound- and motion-activated elements - draws on both artists’ experience with glass and art work.
Pace received her B.F.A. in Sculpture from University of Memphis, attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and received her M.F.A in Glass from Rhode Island School of Design. Puryear received her B.F.A in Glass and Sculpture from California College of Arts and Crafts, and her M.F.A. in Glass from Newcomb College, Tulane University. Both Pace and Puryear live and work in Brooklyn, NY, making much of their work in the studio at UrbanGlass.
