    Conference, symposium - Europe

    Stone-to-Stone II

    The economy of stone in the Meuse valley and surrounding regions (1st century BC - 18th century)

    The first edition of conferences dedicated to stone economics during the historical periods, which was held in Nancy in 2015, underlined the vitality of the research carried out about this subject, as illustrated by the recent works led in Lorraine. The Stone by Stone series of meetings aim to promote the relevance of stone economics research and to facilitate discussions about the topic, through a cycle of international conferences held every three years. The upcoming Stone by Stone II Symposium will be held in Namur and Dinant in December 2018. It will be co-organized by the University of Namur (AcanthuM – ILEE), by the University of Louvain-la-Neuve (UCL), by the University of Brussels (ULB/VUB), by the University of Lorraine, by the INRAP and by the Maison du Patrimoine medieval mosan, and by the AWAP (Agence wallonne du Patrimoine).

    Stone by stone II

    Stone economics in the Meuse valley and in its adjacent regions (Ist Century B. C. - XVIIIth Century)

    Le colloque « Pierre à pierre II » a pour objectif de centrer les réflexions sur la vallée mosane, célèbre pour ses ressources lithiques, et dont les tronçons de la Meuse moyenne comme de la basse Meuse constituent depuis l’Antiquité l’une des artères économiques majeures dans cette région d’Europe. Dans le prolongement des débats du premier cycle de conférences qui s'est tenu à Nancy en 2015, le colloque « Pierre à pierre II » souhaite privilégier trois grands axes thématiques : la géographie de la pierre (axe 1), la pierre sur le chantier de construction (axe 2) et, enfin, la pierre en tant que mobilier ou élément décoratif (axe 3).

    Towards a material history of restoration work (1830-1914)

    À la suite des travaux de Max Dvořák sur la notion de « valeur historique » et dans la continuité des recherches de Louis Grodecki sur « les monuments dans l’histoire », il ne s’agit plus aujourd’hui d’aborder le chantier de restauration aux seules fins discriminantes de la « critique d’authenticité ». Le chantier de restauration implique en effet des questions matérielles, techniques, économiques, sociales et spirituelles qui relèvent de l’histoire, de l’archéologie – « Archéologie des restaurations » récemment valorisée par Nicolas Reveyron – de l’anthropologie et de la sociologie.

    Study days - Early modern

    Décors intérieurs dans l'architecture de l'époque moderne (XVIe-XIXe siècle)

    Stucs, staff et techniques apparentées

    This symposium is the first of a cycle of scientific meetings organized by the Acanthum research group and exclusively dedicated to monumental ornamentation in the Modern Times and the 19th century. This results from the need to bring momentum to research in this domain: interior decoration has often been neglected by research, as it does not show exceptional artistic features, leading to negative consequences on their conservation and optimisation . This first meeting in Namur aims to explore the latest studies on Modern Times and 19th-century interior decoration, mainly concerning stucco, carton-pierre, staff and related techniques.  The symposium will be an occasion to exchange the views of archaeologists, architects, historians, restorers and art historians through a renewed interdisciplinary dialogue. It will focus on themes that have not been investigated yet such as workshop practices, techniques and models, but there will also be room for traditional aspects like style and iconography.
