2016 May Show Juror: Brent Kee Young
Brent Kee Young, glass artist and Cleveland Institute of Art professor emeritus,
has been recognized by scores of museums, galleries, colleges and universities in
the United States and Asia, which have displayed and acquired his work and
invited him to speak, demonstrate and teach. In 2006, the Smithsonian American
Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery acquired its second piece by Professor Young for
its permanent collection. “Amphora....Save” is from Professor Young’s Matrix
Series, a construction of intricate and technically complex works he created by
flame working borosilicate glass rods into layers of glass webs. Also in 2011,
Professor Young was selected to receive a most prestigious Creative Workforce
Fellowship, generously supported by the citizens of Cuyahoga County, Ohio
where he lives and works. In 2012 his work was published in 50 Years of Studio
Glass, a selection of 50 top glass artists working world-wide.
Professor Young has conducted numerous workshops in the U.S. and Asia including at The Niijima International Glass Art Festival,
Niijima, Tokyo; the International Glass Art Society Conference, Seto, Japan; Grand Crystal, Peitou City, Taiwan, ROC; University
of Miami, Coral Gables; Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville; University of Kentucky, Louisville; and California Polytechnic
University, San Louis Obispo. He has served as a juror for The National Endowment for the Arts and lectured at the Smithsonian
Institution's Renwick Gallery. In 1990, Professor Young was selected as head of glass at Aichi University of Education, Kariya,
Japan where he was responsible for establishing the studio, designing and implementing the curriculum and teaching the first glass
program in a national university in Japan.
Currently retired from teaching, Professor Young continues his inquiries into the mysteries that working with glass has to offer....
