Subject: Glass exhibition by Jacdesterres on 2010/11/5 22:27:37 For those interested in Canadian Glass there is still time to see this Exhibition: "GLASS CYCLES"or "Verre et Re-Verre" at Maison Saint-Gabriel. http://www.villedeverre.com/en/verre-et-re-verre-2/ May 13 to December 19, 2010 • Montreal, Quebec "At the crossroads of art and industry, the Glass cycles exhibit traces the history of glass in Montréal, from the time of handcrafted objects to the industrial production that started in the 19th century. Since that time, glass objects have invaded our daily lives. Precious or common-place, they can be re-used or recycled at the end of their life, and serve yet again. The exhibit focuses on glass, the glass industry and glass recycling, through the history of the plant, which has been located, since 1905, on land that formerly belonged to Maison Saint-Gabriel, in Pointe-Saint-Charles, and is now owned by O-I (Owens-Illinois), the largest producer of glass in the world." |
