Texts by Francine Giese, Sarah Tabbal, Marzia Scalon, Chantal Prod’Hom, Philip Baldwin, Monica Guggisberg

The show in Romont provided a current window on several of the exhibitions over the past seven years from 2016 to 2023, as well as new installations illustrating themes important to the artists, “Left Brain-Right Brain”, “The Pleiades” and “The Labyrinth” - a half-scale model of the one at Chartres Cathedral. A majority of the works were expressly made for the exhibition, including the “Library” pieces, the hanging amphore fused glass works, the meteors/comets, and the “Novae Species” miniatures.

Amphore Metaphore

Texts by Eric Louet, Uwe Claassen, Philip Baldwin and Monica Guggisberg

The catalogue, entirely photographed in situ at the newly renovated Musée du Verre de Conches,illustrates the artists' long association with the ancient vessel form of amphorae. It showcases amphorae forms through the millennia, and illustrates through the artists' use of Italian"batutto" cutting, some of the meaning to be found in different ages relevant to the contemporary world. From the 257 pieces Amphore-Metaphore "wall", to the future archaeological site complete with fish underwater, it is a tour of the past as well as the conflicts and possibilities of our times.Lavishly illustrated, the reader/viewer will never think of amphorae in quite the same way again.

Softback, 118 pages / available from Musée du Verre de Conches

Walking in the Void

Walking in the Void / Baldwin & Guggisberg with an essay in twelve parts by Dougald Hine

Texts by Sandra Blach, Pia Strandbygaard Bittner, Philip Baldwin and Monica Guggisberg

This exhibition marked a major shift in Monica and Philip’s art, taking aboard many questions fundamental to the epoch in which we live, while nevertheless pursuing their love of glass as a medium of expression. In addition, the book contains several essays “riffing” on the subject matter, including an essay discussing the installations by environmental thinker and philosopher Douglas Hine, co-founder of the Dark Mountain Project. Appendices explain some of the astromical and planetary phenomena which underpin our natural and cultural realm. A four page foldout showcases “The Timeline”, the artists quirky and rather whimsical chronology of events from the end of the last ice age to the 21st century.

Au-delà du verre / Beyond Glass

Texts from Rosa Barovier, Satish Kumar, Isabelle Naef-Galuba, Tina Oldknow, Sabine Runde, James Yood.

This book represents our newest works over a two year period, from 2010-2011. The section on boats and vessels is almost all new work from that time, much of which was present in the Ariana Museum exhibition. The many wonderful articles written combine reflections on the work itself, us as artists, as well as significant historical perspectives about our place in the world of glass. The color images of the work are supported by several black and white images showing work in progress in Paris and Venice.

Texts by Thierry de Beaumont, Essay by Rosa Barovier and Philip Baldwin.
