Verre en scène #7

Verre en scène cycle
Mudac’s contem­por­ary glass art collec­tion includes over 600 pieces. Unfor­tu­nately, the exhib­i­tion area on the museum’s top floor allows us to display only a tiny frac­tion of our invent­ory. To show more pieces, Verre en scène presents a new art piece the museum’s stor­age every two months. Our selec­tion is varied, dynamic and original – a novel display concept that also stems from a desire to show­case the porous bound­ar­ies between the fields of glass art, design and contem­por­ary art. This way mudac’s visit­ors can enjoy more of the works of inter­na­tional glass artists and design­ers while discov­er­ing the use of vari­ous tech­niques and diverse creat­ive contexts. The display in dark­ness with focused light­ing offers an oppor­tun­ity for the viewer to approach these contem­por­ary glass creations in a unique way.

Light Blub (Chair) by Pieke Bergmans, 2015

Light Blub (Chair) is a work by Dutch designer Pieke Bergmans. A surpris­ing combin­a­tion of a cristal lamp and a chair, it reflects Bergmans’ constant search for new shapes and alter­a­tion. The designer describes her creations as if they had been affected by a « virus » that would modify « design’s history and its char­ac­ter­ist­ics ».
