Glass artist and VCU Arts professor Bohyun Yoon will present ‘Vitreous Theater,’ an interdisciplinary performance combining light, sound and atmosphere through glass, at the Perry Glass Studio of the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia, on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at 7 p.m.
The event is described as an immersive performance rather than a conventional gallery presentation. Its central material is glass, used as a medium through which light and sound are experienced. The museum’s announcement characterizes the work as an “ethereal blending” of these elements, placing atmosphere and sensory perception alongside the physical properties of glass.
Yoon will be joined by Ross Walter, as well as student and alumni musicians from VCU. Their participation places the performance within an explicitly collaborative framework, bringing together glass-based visual practice and live music. The announcement does not specify the instruments, musical repertoire, technical setup or the precise form of Yoon’s performance, leaving those details to be experienced at the event.
The presentation will take place at the Perry Glass Studio, the Chrysler Museum’s glass-focused facility. The studio is also identified in the museum’s September programming as a site for glass classes and demonstrations, while ‘Vitreous Theater’ extends that material emphasis into a live, time-based format. Rather than presenting glass solely as a finished object, the event treats it as part of an environment shaped by illumination, sound and performance.
Yoon’s dual identification as a glass artist and VCU Arts professor also connects the program to an educational and artistic community. The inclusion of VCU students and alumni musicians makes that connection visible in the event’s lineup, though the announcement provides no further information about the participants’ individual roles or backgrounds. Ross Walter is listed as an additional featured participant.
Tickets cost $10 for Chrysler Museum members and $20 for non-members. The museum states that prices will increase by $10 at the door, and registration is required. The event is one of the Chrysler’s September offerings centered on its Norfolk campus and glass programming, but it is presented separately from the museum’s exhibitions, lectures and studio classes announced for the same month.
‘Vitreous Theater: Bohyun Yoon’ is scheduled for Saturday, September 26, at 7 p.m. at Perry Glass Studio, Chrysler Museum of Art, in Norfolk.
