In the Space Between: Discovering Glenstone’s Living Vision offers an in-depth look at the unique philosophy and carefully considered visitor experience offered by Glenstone Museum in Potomac, Maryland. This 45-minute talk will trace the development of Glenstone’s collection, emphasizing the museum’s commitment to deep engagement through its integrated approach to art, architecture, and nature. A case study of a major long-term installation reveals the care and complexity involved in faithfully realizing an artist’s vision at the highest level – and the extraordinary lengths the Glenstone team undertakes to honor that vision. Together, these elements illuminate Glenstone’s commitment to creating a contemplative, living environment where the artworks on view are experienced with intention and depth.
