Victor Horta revisited! Symposium at the Belgian Comic Strip Center - 3 December 2011 While Horta has acquired an international reputation in the 1900s and is responsible for the spread of Art Nouveau in Europe, it is only long after the demolition of the People's House in 1965 and the creation of the Maison Horta in 1969 that the art of building and living was highlighted. Since then, various organizations, authors, private owners, curators and architects have done a remarkable job of fighting for the preservation, disclosure, restoration, reconstruction, and especially the partial redeployment of his unique work. Important actors will speak at the symposium, which will conclude with a discussion. Are involved in this issue, among others (to be confirmed): Jos Vandenbreeden (Archives of Architecture Sint-Lukas), Arlette Clauwers (Korei), Françoise Aubry (Horta Museum), Michael Gilbert (owner of Horta houses), Arno Weltens (Stichting behoud Nederlandse architectuur Jugendstil), Barbara Van der Wee (architect), Jeanine Lambrecht (VUB), Dirk Van de Vijver (Utrecht University) and Jan van Kasteren, Jasmijn Mooren, Teun Bonenkamp (Junior League of Utrecht University).

International Symposium in Brussels : Brussels as the convergence of arts (1880-1914) - from 24 to 26 November 2011 Multiple relationships that develop between art, music and literature is one of the main features of modernity across Europe in the late nineteenth century. The symbolism is, in this regard, the movement whose representatives in all disciplines, have shown the most enthusiasm to cross the arts. Social transformations of Belgium and the economic success of enlightened bourgeoisie allowed Brussels to establish itself as one of the most dynamic European capitals that will, in this process, around 1900, link symbolism and Art Nouveau. It is in this context that this conference has been created. Brussels as the convergence of arts (1880-1914) gathers specialists of litterature, music and art of the end of the 19th century. Researchers, PhD students, teachers are invited to present their research in an interdisciplinary perspective that crosses the methods and approaches for deepening the knowledge of the artistic culture which built Brussels as a Capital of Art Nouveau.
