Major collateral event focuses on glass

No other city in the world is more closely associated with the art of glassmaking than Venice, so it is fitting that "Glass Stress", a new survey of modern and contemporary glass art, opens on 6 June. The show brings together commissioned pieces by artists such as Fred Wilson, Tony Cragg and Orlan with rare objects made by Jean Arp, Louise Bourgeois, Jan Fabre, Mona Hatoum, Man Ray, Robert Rauschenberg and Lino Tagliapietra, among others.
