Municipale Galerie d'Art, Diekirch, Luxembourg. June 18 - July 5

Galerie de la Mosaique, Briare le Canal, France. July 9 - Oct 8

Mosaic Arts International - Chicago
March 1st – April 30th 2010 (extended to August 2010)

Mosaic Arts International 2010 will feature 48 extraordinary works of mosaic art, in 2D, 3D, and architectural categories.

The MAI exhibition offers more prize money than any other international mosaic arts exhibition, with awards totaling $5000.

Award winners: Best in Show, John Sollinger for Radiance Best 2D, Diana Stevens for Indian Madonna Best 3D, Kate Jessup for Cedar Stump Best Architectural, Dianne Sonnenberg for Ocean(egg)graphy

Juror's Choice Awards Oliver Budd: Michael J. Kruzich for Corinthian Juan Chavez: Connie Chantilis for Grotto Janet Kozachek: Ilana Shafir for Temples

The show will this year be at The Smith Museum of Stained Glass at Chicago's Navy Pier, where the exhibition is expected to attract approximately 80,000 visitors during the two month run.

This is a different kind of a venue for MAI; it is not one of the traditional white-walled gallery spaces that have showcased mosaic works in the past. This exhibition will feature work placed throughout the museum, presented in lighted, glass-walled cases.

The exhibition is an important milestone in SAMA's history that will underscore SAMA's 10 year legacy of dedication to educating, inspiring, and promoting excellence in fine mosaic art.

PHARMA'S MARKET
a flower and produce show

by Cleo Mussi

at The Museum in the Park Gallery, Stroud, England

4 July - 21 August 2010

‘Pharma’s Market’ is a mosaic installation exploring the contrasting imagery of historical and contemporary farming. Although the setting of the exhibition is a traditional agricultural fair, visitors will experience an exhibition with a distinctly contemporary twist. Cleo Mussi has an engaging story to tell, and her characters, from life-sized ‘robo-rabbits’ to ‘space scientists’ and ‘bucolic farmers', all jostle for their part in the plot. Her mosaics are made from recycled china, and her stories are derived from the real world of science and medicine, albeit reconstructed through the process of her own particular visual imagination and surreal sense of humour.

The Museum in the Park, Stratford Park, Stroud GL5 4AF

TE-21 EXHIBITING GROUP LAUNCHED

TE-21 (Tessellated Expression for the 21st century), a new exhibiting group, was launched in Chartres, France, on 25 October 2008 by four mosaic artists, each internationally recognised. They were Elaine M. Goodwin (England), Dugald MacInnes (Scotland), Lucio Orsoni (Italy) and Toyoharu Kii (Japan).

The launch took place under the aegis of the Association Les 3R, which organises the biennial Rencontres Internationales de la Mosaique in Chartres.

Lucio Orsoni of Orsoni Mosaics fame spoke animatedly of proposals for future exhibitions. Dates have yet to be arranged but watch this space!

To learn more about TE-21 see our News Item on the launch of the group.

THE GILBERT COLLECTION
AT THE VICTORIA & ALBERT MUSEUM
LONDON

This outstanding collection of decorative art is one of the most important bequests ever made to the British nation. It was the gift of Sir Arthur Gilbert, who was born in London and settled in California in 1949. The collection was originally displayed in Los Angeles but then found a home for some years in the palace of Somerset House, on the north bank of the Thames by Waterloo Bridge. This magnificent building used to be the home of the Inland Revenue, but happily the taxman made way, first for the Courtauld Collection, and then for this magnificent addition, Sir Arthur's collection of European silver, gold snuff boxes, furniture, clocks, miniatures - and Italian mosaics. These treasures are now to be seen at the V&A Museum.

The mosaics are of two kinds; Florentine "pietra dura" (opus sectile miniature pictures made of plain and polychrome marble and semi-precious stones) and micro-mosaics. These evolved in Rome in the late 18th century as souvenirs for rich tourists making the Grand Tour. The glass threads of which they are made are so small as to be barely visible as individual tesserae.

To see more about Sir Arthur Gilbert, his life and the collection go to our Gilbert Collection article on the feature pages.
