  • Symmetry Josef Hoffmann Vases from 1922–1923 in Art Deco Style
    CLASSIC SYMMETRY JOSEF HOFFMANN VASES FROM 1922–1923 IN ART DECO STYLE We present a design by Josef Hoffmann from the turn of the year 1923, exceptional in its architectural rendition, proportions, and manual cut. This timeless piece commemorates the 150th anniversary of the renowned designer and architect, whose creations mark the high points of glass design of the 20th century. This edition is limited to a symbolic 150 pieces. SYMMETRY OF CUT, DESIGN AND PURITY OF CRYSTAL The 40-centimetre tall hand-cut vase is the embodiment of Moser DNA, with perfection in the overall cut and precision in the individual cuts. It may not be obvious at first glance, but this piece features one of the most complex designs that our glassmakers have ever created. Josef Hoffmann AUTHOR Austrian architect and designer Josef Hoffmann (1870–1956) was one of the founders of Viennese Art Nouveau. One of his most famous architectural achievements is the Stoclet Palace in Brussels, widely regarded as a ground- breaking example of modern architecture. In 1903, he co-founded the Wiener Werkstätte – a Viennese avant-garde art association. He also employed his creativity in household glassware, creating mainstay collections for the Wiener Werkstätte and the Viennese company Lobmeyr. At the time, the supplier and implementer of Hoffmann's unique designs for both of these organisations was none other than Moser glassworks. Hoffmann’s original vases are displayed in the Glass Museum in Passau, Germany. TECHNOLOGY AHEAD OF ITS TIME Realization at the glassworks demands absolute precision and focus from the glassmakers, not only during the blowing of the basic shape, but also when the individual parts are joined together while hot (still on the blowpipe).

Early instances of abstract expressionism are traced in Hoffman’s works by investigating stylistic d parallels through shape rules an computations. The analysis of Hoffmann’s two works are carried out in parallel to Terry Knight’s analysis of De Stijl artists Georges Vantongerloo and Fritz Glarner paintings with the normal form grammars.

  • The #1Bru1vote Manifesto Call for the Right to Vote in Brussels-‐Capital R
    The #1bru1Vote Manifesto Also petition text Call for the right to vote in Brussels-Capital Region elections for all Brussels residents “One Brusseleir One Vote!” On 26 May 2019, as the Brussels-Capital Region celebrates its 30 years of existence, citizens of Brussels-Capital will vote to elect the assembly of this city-region – the Brussels-Capital Parliament. But not all residents of Brussels, or Brusseleirs, will be able to vote! 1 in 3 Brussels-Capital residents – or 415,000 people – are denied the right to vote, and are prevented from taking an active political role, because they are non-Belgian. These 280,000 European Union citizens and 135.000 citizens with other nationalities are second- class citizens in this city-region, since they are excluded from the democratic process. And yet they are Brusseleirs like everyone else—who live, love, work, study, pay taxes and contribute in so many ways to make Brussels-Capital a better home for everyone. These 415,000 Brusseleirs who are excluded, do not have a say on decisions that affect their day-to-day lives, such as mobility and public transport, urban planning and heritage, parks and green spaces, waste and recycling, infrastructure and public works, pollution and air quality, energy and sustainable development, family allocations and education as well as budget. It is true that all inhabitants of Brussels-Capital, regardless of nationality, can vote in local « communal elections ». But this is an insufficient right because it is fragmented across the 19 communes. While it is at the level of the Brussels-Capital Region, one of the three federal entities in Belgium, that Brusseleirs' life is really organized, and that significant decisions - and policy-making take place.
