26/03/2022 h 04/09/2022 F Add to the calendar 2022-03-26 2022-09-04 Europe/London Exhibition “PARÉIDOLIES/JEAN-BAPTISTE SIBERTIN”

The Glass Museum of Charleroi presents Jean-Baptiste SIBERTIN-BLANC, a designer who gives voice to glass and combines it with other materials: wood, metal and composites.

Developing a design in which know-how regularly rubs shoulders with industry, Jean-Baptiste SIBERTIN-BLANC pursues his research as an architecture of the object, between sculpture and ergonomics. Designer for the Taller de Arquitectura Ricardo Bofill (1987-1991), then Creative Director of the DAUM Crystal Works (1999-2011), he created SAS Studio JBSB in 2012 to accompany great names in creation and design. He willingly shares his knowledge: professor at ESAD in Reims from 1993 to 1999, he continues teaching at Ensa in Nancy by creating the Research and Creation Workshop "the natures of glass" (2013) as part of the ARTEM campus, and coordinates the design for the ICN Master of Science, Design and Management of Luxury.

Glass Museum of Charleroi

Born from a joint desire of the Glass Industry Federation and the City of Charleroi, the Glass Museum of Charleroi has a particular specificity in Wallonia.

Privileged meeting place between the past and the future of the glass material, it is also the living memory of the history of glass in Wallonia, whose wealth is an integral part of the construction of the identity of the region.

The collections now contain more than 6,000 pieces of glass and tools and cover a very broad period, from Mycenaean times to contemporary glass masterpieces.
