BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - In conjunction with the Binghamton University Art Museum's current exhibition "Steuben's Era of Color: The Glass of Frederick Carder," Amy Robbins will give a public lecture titled "Frederick Carder's Colorful Experiments in Glass" at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5, at the University Art Museum, Room 213 of the Fine Arts Building, on campus. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Robbins is a recent PhD in anthropology from Binghamton University with an interest in materials experimentation and art-science collaboration. Her dissertation, "Experimental Expertise: Glass at the Intersection of Art and Science," explores the relationship between innovation and the materiality of glass through institutionally designed collaborative glassmaking projects in Corning, N.Y.
Robbins organized the exhibition that celebrates the generous gift of 50 pieces of Steuben glass by Peter H. Bridge and Terry C. Peet.
