The Biennale Kijkduin 2011 aims to encourage the development of talent in the field of art, technology, and architecture. Within this scope the symposium is meant for design students, entrepreneurs, and experts who are engaged in experiments and innovative applications of glass. It addresses the social interest of glass as a transition material as glass is – more than any other material – multifunctional. No other material causes similar revolutionary changes in the field of economics, health, safety, technology, architecture, culture, nature and the environment.
The symposium ‘Transparent Vision – the Art and Science of Glass’ will feature ten prominent glass experts who will share their experience and knowledge with students of art academies and universities around Europe. During verbal and visual presentations they show history, innovative concepts, new developments and the latest trends in sustainability and recycling. They review new techniques and applications of glass as a raw material, construction material, recycling and packaging material, and as a medical material. Glass will also be highlighted as a medium of art developed since the beginning of the 19th century, in different forms when it comes to composition, characteristics and appearances.
The symposium takes place in Gemeentemuseum in the Hague on 10 June. For more information on the symposium and how to register to attend, visit:
