January 24 through March 15, 2015.
In her exhibition Identidad, Silvia Levenson channels her identity as a survivor of the Argentinian Dirty War and her emotional connection to the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo in order to push the bounds of her skills as a glassmaker and produce refined glass work. "I feel that glass is the ideal medium for conveying this mixed feeling of beauty, fragility and tension that represents our human condition." Identidad will pay homage to the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Argentina. The Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo is a human rights organization founded in 1977 with the mission of locating children kidnapped during the repression. Silvia will create 111 glass pieces of baby clothing to represent the number of cases solved by the Grandmothers.
Identidad will educate the public on the solemn history of the Argentinian Dirty War as well as the significant impact of the Grandmothers campaign. Moreover, the exhibition will expose viewers to the skillful work of this profound international glassmaker. In 1976, Silvia was 19 years old and pregnant with her daughter Natalia. March 24, 1976, the date of Natalia's birth, is a well-remembered date in Argentinian history as it marked the beginning of the 7-year dictatorship. Between 1976 and 1983, the military dictatorship kidnapped, tortured, and killed about 30,000 people known as "los desaparecidos" or "the disappeared." Thirty percent of those kidnapped were young women, many with children by their side or in their womb. These children were later stripped of their identity and given up for adoption. The Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo work to find the abducted children and return them to their natural family. Levenson and her daughter Natalia were not kidnapped and therefore, she feels like a survivor. Levenson channels her identity as a survivor and her emotional connection to the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo in order to push the bounds of her skills as a glassmaker and produce the refined glass works in Identidad. "I feel that glass is the ideal medium for conveying this mixed feeling of beauty, fragility and tensions that represent our human condition."

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
