“A Fragile Narrative” Sculptural Glasswork Exhibit | San Jose

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Through her sculptural glasswork, Cassandra Straubing addresses issues of domestic and industrial labor. Her exhibition explores the sociological aspects of working-class garments and tools of blue-collar labor, and how the objects might symbolize a person’s economic and social position as well as their gender role. The exhibition will include pieces the artist created by employing multiple glass-forming techniques such as blowing, hot forming, and casting. Straubing’s exhibition is presented in conjunction with the 44th Annual Glass Art Society conference to be held in San Jose from June 5-7, 2015.

Cassandra Straubing is the Glass Sculpture Faculty Head and Studio Coordinator at San Jose State University. She has exhibited her work nationally in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Portland, Oregon.

On Friday, June 5, 7pm to 8pm, Cassandra Straubing will lead a tour of her exhibition as part of the ICA’s Talking Art education program. Admission is free.

Opening Reception: Sunday, May 31, 1pm-4pm
