JamFactory and partner Carrick Hill present the 2026 FUSE Glass Artist Residency Exhibition showcasing Melbourne based glass artist Nadège Desgenétez.
Awarded biennially in alternate years to the prestigious FUSE Glass Prize, the FUSE Glass Artist Residency aims to create significant opportunities for mid-career artists working in glass in Australia and New Zealand.
Originally from France, Nadège Desgenétez has worked, taught and exhibited in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. She has been the recipient of numerous awards and residencies, including the “Prix d’Honneur de la Fondation de France” (Paris, France), the “Prix de la Vocation” from the Fondation Marcel Bleustein Blanchet (Paris, France), grants from the Australia Council for the Arts and Arts ACT (AU), and residencies from Northlands Creative Glass (Lybster, UK), Pittsburgh Glass Center (Pittsburgh, USA) and the Tacoma Museum of Glass (Tacoma, USA). She was also a lecturer at the School of Art and Design of the Australian National University from 2005.Desgenétez's work is inspired by her experience of migration, and the ways in which feelings of connection to and dislocation from place can coexist. Desgenétez will showcase two related bodies of work, drawing on her doctoral research and extending her current practice.
