Photographer Ben Stockley plays optical tricks with objects by design world big guns like Tadao Ando, the Campana Brothers and Droog, whose diaphanous forms are debuting at the Shanghai Museum of Glass’ latest exhibition, Keep it Glassy. Opened in 2011 and housed in a former glass-blowing factory, the one-of-a-kind institution celebrates the history and culture of the versatile and captivating material in both the East and West, while providing functioning studios where artists and craftsmen can hone their technique. Highlights from the current show include luminescent creations like Swiss duo Loris & Livia’s impish Tipsy glasses, Chiara Onida’s polychrome Incalmi decanters and the crisp lines and voluptuous curves of Sebastian Bergne’s Corked series. “My designs tend to have an element of innovation, not to mention being influenced by the purity of the material and the way they are made,” explains Bergne. “Beyond the magical nature of the material, there is an immediacy in developing objects in glass. I like that very much.”
