For Glasmuseet Ebeltoft we designed the book for the exhibition Walking in the Void. The artists behind the exhibition, the American-Swiss couple Philip Baldwin & Monica Guggisberg, rank among the elite of contemporary artists working in glass. Dougald Hine, writer & cofounder of “a school called HOME” contributed to the book with an essay in twelve chapters.
“In their solo exhibition Walking in the Void the American-Swiss couple Philip Baldwin and Monica Guggisberg turn their attention to some of the fundamental issues of our time – the place of humanity, and indeed our planet, in the universe, and in geological history – and set them within the context of the challenges facing us today. The artists say: ‘As recent global events have shown, the fragility of our civilisation has never been more apparent, and the need to find an alternative way forward feels increasingly urgent‘. The exhibition at Glasmuseet Ebeltoft marks a growing shift in the couple’s artistic practice towards a focus on symbolic content and a deeply-felt engagement with the global political and environmental challenges of the 21st century.“ (From the museum’s website)
