Sponsor our Open Wall Project by collecting a glass brick from the current Shanghai World Expo exhibition. Crafted from clear, iridescent, or red/gold-infused Murano glass, each piece is a luminous record of an installation crossing culture and time.

Each brick represents one year of the Great Wall's construction in ancient China and has the artist's seal signed, numbered with the Chinese lunar year, and accompanied by a display stand. Also included an Open Wall DVD, featuring a film produced in collaboration with leading Italian contemporary composer Romeo Scaccia and a Venice-based film crew, directed by Savino Cancellara. The Open Wall film documents the construction of the temporary glass installation at the Venice Biennale 2009.

We are raising funds to remake Open Wall. Sadly, many of the bricks were destroyed in a large fire. We believe that the concept of the project is just as powerful now as it was originally. We must continue to build a more open and connected world and not give in to the pull of nationalism. To inquire about becoming a Sponsor for the Open Wall Project click here.
