SUMMARY:An Evening for Czech Glass
DESCRIPTION:Glass from the Czech lands has gained worldwide recognition for its quality and originality. The traditional artistic craft is an important part of the Czech cultural heritage. During the event An Evening for Czech Glass four speakers will discuss the future potentials of Czech glass.Various branches of glassmaking always played a central role in the country's export trade whether mass-produced or handcrafted. Made solely out of domestic resources and supported by the unique infrastructure of specialized glass schools\, applied arts academies\, and glass museums Czech glass became a household name internationally. This phenomenon\, which has successfully survived the economic\, political\, and social upheavals from the industrial revolution to the foundation of an independent state\, the German annexation\, and the communist regime is today struggling for direction. Public and private initiatives are challenged by numerous obstacles in providing a platform for contemporary glassmaking and in securing the space for inventiveness and skill. Four speakers will discuss the future potentials of Czech glass.After the discussion we will visit the glass works of art located in the Czech Embassy Berlin.Speakers:Tulga Beyerle / Director\, Museum of Decorative Arts in Dresden (Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden\, Kunstgewerbemuseum Schloss Pillnitz)Helena Koenigsmarková / Director\, Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague (Uměleckoprůmyslové museum v Praze)Ladislav Pflimpfl / Director of ZIBA\, Glass Experience Museum\, PragueVerena Wasmuth / curator and conservation consultant\, author of the publication Tschechisches Glass.
