This softcover exhibition book is part of the Glasstress project curated by Adriano Berengo, bridging contemporary art with traditional Murano glassmaking. "Artists of all disciplines from sculptors to musicians have been invited to collaborate with the maestros in creating art in glass. Launched in 2009 as an official collateral event of the Biennale di Venezia, today it is the world’s leading showcase of this collaboration of craft and creativity, forging a new trajectory for glass and a new path for contemporary artists."-Glasstress.org
in 2015, "Lifebank" showed at Palazzo Franchetti. A "gene bank" installation featuring 500 species of heritage seeds and Murano glass sculptures. It explored the shift from financial capital to biological capital.
