Parrish Contemporaries Circle Brooklyn Design Artist Studio Tours
Jeff Zimmerman and Sebastian Errazuriz
April 16, 2019, 4 pm - 6 pm
Parrish Contemporaries Circle Members and invited guests are welcome to attend two private tours of design artist studios. The studio of Jeff Zimmerman in Red Hook, Brooklyn and Sebastian Errazuriz in Industry City, Brooklyn. (Read on for more information about both artists.) Space is limited for this exclusive opportunity.
Jeff Zimmerman’s Glass Blowing Studio: Brooklyn Glass
A celebrated master glass artist, Jeff Zimmerman (b. 1968) belongs to a group of daring contemporary artists who employ the ancient material as a means of expression rather than an end in itself. His sculptures and functional pieces exploit techniques of advanced glassmaking and the defining properties of glass itself — the way it hovers between liquid and solid states, its reflectivity and tactile qualities, its habit of moving constantly while still molten — to evoke a dimension of experience where things are happening that we can feel but not necessarily define.
Sebastian Errazuriz
Artist, designer and activist Sebastian Errazuriz received international acclaim for his original and provocative works on a variety of disciplines. Tackling everything from experimental kinetic cabinets, functional sculptures and tech art projects to political artworks and giant public art projects, his practice tends to blur the boundaries between contemporary art, design, craft and technology. His work is always surprising and compelling, inviting the viewer to look again at realities that were often hidden in plain sight.
