Andrew Page talks about the continued importance of Glass Quarterly. Oral history interview with Andrew Page, March 22, 2018, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 01:08.

Andrew Page: Glass Quarterly continues to be published and it’s always had as its focus to be placing glass in a contemporary art context. And we take that legacy really seriously, and we continue to seek out writers who write not just about glass to contextualize what’s being done to take part in a dialogue that transcends the material, because there is a real culture around the material. There’s a culture of galleries that specialize in glass, collectors who only are interested in work in glass, and artists who only work in glass. That’s breaking down, but at one point and I think it was the dedication of those groups to the material that allowed the technical advances that have taken place over the last few decades and which have set the stage for glass being more widely available to artists who don’t necessarily want to spend two decades learning how to do it themselves. There’s an incredible knowledge base, facilities, and also just skill that’s out there to realize a wide variety of outcomes in glass that is perhaps unique to this moment, and wouldn’t have been possible without that really dedicated group of artists who are pioneering the techniques that are used today.
