Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana presents BREAKING POINT, glass art works by award-winning Bay Area artists Jaime Guerrero and Viviana Paredes. Glass, a medium valued for its visual and tactile qualities, is used inventively by these contemporary artists to provide clarity on contemporary social issues. Guerrero and Paredes use glass as a vehicle to explore and critique issues as diverse as the effects of over-hunting to the extinction of dialects and cultural customs. Though MACLA has previously exhibited these artists as well as other artists who work with glass, this is its first exhibition dedicated solely to the medium. Breaking Point coincides with the Glass Art Society (GAS) Conference taking place June 5-7 in San Jose.
