The Art Datis project, launched in September 2018, was originally conceived as a four-year project involving two PhD candidates: an art historian and glass artist (Anna Carlgren) and a data scientist (Vera Provatorova). Their task was to examine Valkema's archive, which includes everything from personal letters and administrative documents to glass recipes and correspondence with other artists. This archive, covering the postwar period until Valkema's death in the 1990s, offers a comprehensive overview of his contributions to glass art.
Sybren Valkema was a prominent glass artist and teacher, born in 1916. Now, more than 100 years later, researchers working on the Art DATIS project aim to make his archives accessible to fellow researchers, artists and craftsmen. We sat down with Vera Provatorova (University of Amsterdam) and Carlotta Capurro (Utrecht University) for an update on this fascinating project.
