In this gallery, glass is presented as a material that allows viewers to see the unseen, giving form to the immaterial. In this space we are invited to peer through peep- holes, glimpse fleeting reflections, watch shadows becoming substance and solid objects ethereal. Artists represented in Beckler Gallery implore us to challenge assumptions about how and what we typically see.

Participating Artists: Rebecca Arday, Kate Clements, Caroline Cox, Christopher Kerr-Ayer, Sharon Koelblinger, Aric Snee, Carolyn Spears, and Abegael Uffelman

For our Fall/Winter 2022 Season, The Delaware Contemporary presents Through a Glass, Darkly, in all of our main galleries occupying more than 6,000 square feet. Curated by three guest curators, Kristin Deady, Jenna Lucente, and Alexander Rosenberg, this museum-wide exhibition includes new and recent works by artists working with glass and glass-related materials and processes, exposing the material’s dual nature. Selected works engage the historical promise and power of the material to reveal and to bring clarity, while challenging viewers to acknowledge an inherent interconnectedness between enhancement and distortion.
