Ethereal Presence

Event organised by Hotel Metropole

In collaboration with Gervasuti Foundation Venice London

Curated by James Putnam, the exhibition brings together Jaume Plensa’s ethereal glass sculptures, created in collaboration with Berengo Studio in Murano. Their elongated faces and closed eyes evoke introspection and quiet contemplation, while the translucency of glass dissolves the boundary between presence and apparition. Light, space and material reveal the uniquely ethereal quality of Plensa’s work, inviting viewers into a poetic dialogue between the visible and the invisible.
