Monica Guggisberg and Philip Baldwin: Precession Through Glass
November 15, 2026–April 25, 2027
The art of glass becomes a lens through which award-winning artists Monica Guggisberg and Philip Baldwin explore the mysteries of the universe in Precession Through Glass. Through a thought-provoking array of sculptures, installations, and mixed media works, this new exhibition delves into a world where science meets the sublime, the seen meets the unseen, and the rational meets the intuitive. Inspired by Albert Einstein’s view that “the intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant,” Precession Through Glass celebrates the beauty of what we don’t yet know, embracing uncharted territories of thought and perception. From the complexities of DNA to the vast enigma of human consciousness, Guggisberg and Baldwin invite curious minds to marvel in the intricate tapestry of what is known, while preserving space for the sparks of insight that can emerge from the depths of what is unknown.
Monica Guggisberg and Philip Baldwin: Precession Through Glass is organized by Sarasota Art Museum of Ringling College of Art and Design and curated by Virginia Shearer, executive director with curatorial guidance by Rangsook Yoon, former senior curator.
