From 20-23 August 2015.
Location: Film theatre Lumière, Bogaardenstraat 40B in Maastricht
The European Society Light & Glass will hold its annual assembly in film theatre Lumière, Bogaardenstraat 40B in Maastricht from 20 to 23 August 2015. Through the course of the assembly, art historians, restorers and specialists in the field of light objects will hold several lectures. One of the lectures will be given by Martijn Akkerman, jewellery expert on “Tussen Kunst en Kitsch” (Dutch equivalent of the Antiques Roadshow).
The Light and Glass society was founded in May 2000 in Kamenický Šenov (Steinschönau), the old centre of the Austro-Bohemian glass and chandelier production in North Bohemia. The objective of Light and Glass is to take a closer look at and study rare and art historically interesting light objects such as chandeliers and “girandoles en appliques”, which have often been neglected over time, perform responsible restorations and provide proper documentation.
Light and Glass offers a platform for art historians, restorers and specialists, dealers and collectors to share their studies and findings by way of publications, lectures and expositions. Contemporary artists, architects and a designer platform will also be involved in the events of Light and Glass.
Pascal Mestrom has been asked this year to host and organize the Maastricht edition of the annual assembly (free entrance!). The programme will be published on the website of Light and Glass and Mestrom Chandeliers.
