Venice Glass Week, Hub Under 35, Galleria di Piazza San Marco, Venice, Italy
Graduate of the Studio of Glass at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague, Anna Martinková, will present her project at the Venice Glass Week 2025 within the Hub Under 35 exhibition. Her work pays tribute to Baroque Gothic and the architect Santini-Aichel.
Martinková chose to present her two works in the form of an installation entitled Tribute to Baroque Gothic. Both pieces reference the buildings of Czech Baroque architect Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel, who had Italian roots. The works Holy Water Font and Santini in a Cube reflect the interconnection of Czech and Italian sources of inspiration at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries. The object Santini in a Cube was created in collaboration with glass artist and Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague lecturer Ivan Pokorný.
