( create ) ( sustain ) ( evolve )

welcome
Welcome to the 18th biennial Ausglass conference, (r)evolve. Our conference host city, Canberra, is a world-renowned
centre for Australian glass and we are lucky to be hosted by the Australian National University Glass Workshop,
Canberra Glassworks, the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia and the National Gallery of Australia. Over
four days delegates will hear from a diverse range of Australian and international artists and curators. Discussions will
be based around the pertinent themes of creating, sustaining and evolving within contemporary studio glass.

The discourse will begin with our keynote speaker, Glenn Adamson, who was previously Director of the Museum of
Arts and Design (New York) and Head of Research at the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), and has written four
books on craft including Thinking Through Craft.

Canberras hardworking glass community has done a fantastic job of putting together a program that brings together
Australian and international guests in a way that facilitates an exchange of ideas. Special thanks must go to the
Australian National University School of Art and Design and the Canberra Glassworks, which have both provided
facilities and support. Extra special thanks must also go to the Canberra-based steering group that has organised every
aspect of this event.

Our conference would not have been possible without the support and generosity of the Australia Council for the Arts,
our host institutions, conference sponsors, individual donors and a league of volunteers. We are indebted to them all.

I hope delegates will take full advantage of everything the conference has to offer and also enjoy the social evenings
as well as the many exhibitions, tours and activities. Its a great time to make new friends and contacts in the glass
community. As it becomes more difficult to be a practising artist in todays political and economic environment, it is my
hope that this conference will expose delegates to new ideas and methods of working as to leave us all feeling inspired to
take the next step in our own artistic evolution.

On behalf of the Board of Directors for Ausglass, I welcome you to Canberra and hope you enjoy (r)evolve.

Warren Langley was the co-founder and inaugural president of Ausglass. His

application of glass artwork to the built environment has been a common
thread in the 35-year body of work, with early forays into stained glass,
and some of the first fused glass works for architectural settings, through to
pioneering kiln-formed glass technologies and the current huge, glass-inspired
light structures. Increasingly, Langley uses alternative translucent mediums to
create large-scale illuminated sculptures which capture the very essence of glass.
These current works increasingly blur the boundary between art, architecture
and engineering.

Mt Stromlo Observatory
Mount Stromlo Observatory has been carrying out
astronomical observations for over 100 years and, prior
to the 2003 firestorm, had grown from a small outpost of
pioneering astronomers to one of the great observatories of
the world.
Its history includes designing optical munitions during the
Second World War, weathering two devastating bushfires
and earning one Nobel Prize.
Youll get a behind-the-scenes tour through both the
research buildings and telescope domes which includes an
explanation of the science that has been done at Mt Stromlo
over the past 100 years.
On the tour, a guide will also talk about the current science
projects being undertake and future plans. The tour includes
viewing the labs where instruments for the Giant Magellan
Telescope are being built, a 250kg meteorite and Prof. Brian
Schmidts Nobel Prize.
After the tour, we will conditions permitting use the
Mt Stromlo Observatory Outreach telescopes to look
at craters of the Moon, Jupiter and its moons, as well as
clusters of stars, nebulae, and even a few galaxies.
