Artists in Residence, Performances, Art Exhibitions Planned for Philip Johnson Glass House
|
In two weeks, residents will have a chance to hear from the former New York City gallery owner and San Francisco museum curator who for two years has served as director of the Philip Johnson Glass House in New Canaan. Henry Urbach during “The Glass House, Reconsidered”—to be held at 6:30 p.m. on April 6 in the Adrian Lamb Room of New Canaan Library—will discuss the history (an interactive history can be found here) of the 49-acre campus and its buildings. The Glass House season runs May to November. After we heard about the April 6 event, NewCanaanite.com reached out to the Glass House to try and find out more. It sounds like what Urbach and the Glass House plan is a re-imagining of the cherished New Canaan landmark as a setting and space that serves not only as a destination for architecture appreciators from curious to professional—but also as living quarters, backdrop and canvas for inspiring creation and celebrating the fine and performing arts.
