from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The International Panorama Council IPC (IPC) is a non-governmental organization and non-profit organization under Swiss law . It is a worldwide network of museum directors, museum managers, artists, restorers and historians, which deals with the historical and contemporary characteristics of the panorama of art and media . The organization includes members from all over the world who are either representatives of museum institutions and research institutes or private researchers and enthusiastic amateurs.

The European Panorama Conference was founded in Szeged / Hungary in 1992 and renamed the International Panorama Conference in Altötting / Germany in 1998 . International Panorama Council has been used as a designation since 2003 . IPC has been a member association since 2010 . It is led by a board elected by the members, with a general secretary working as the operational center for the board.

aims

The main goal of the International Panorama Council is to promote worldwide research on existing and future panoramas . He advocates the preservation of the few still existing memorial panoramas from the 19th and early 20th centuries as well as the professional and professional examination of the topic. IPC serves as a bridge between the monument era of the art form panorama and the contemporary and future forms. The association advocates simplified formal recognition and protection of panoramas by organizations such as UNESCO or the Council of Europe . The International Panorama Council campaigns for the preservation of historical panoramas. In 2007 and 2008, a PR and lobbying campaign was carried out in Innsbruck / Austria to save the threatened Innsbruck giant circular painting and a successful campaign to save Panorama Mesdag, which was endangered by construction work . Furthermore, IPC aims to have a selection of particularly significant panoramas recognized as UNESCO World Heritage . In July 2008 the Panorama Waterloo was placed on the Belgian tentative list (candidate list ) of UNESCO as a first step . In February 2009 Panorama Mesdag in the Netherlands applied for inclusion on the Dutch tentative list.

Areas of activity

IPC is active in the field of restoration and conservation, research , financing , exhibition and marketing of panoramas and related art forms from the past, present and future. IPC maintains a database of existing panoramas , cycloramas or moving panoramas, large-format dioramas and semicircular panoramas as well as other related art and media forms.

Annual meetings

Annual specialist conferences have been held around the globe since the company was founded . The scientific conferences serve a technical and professional exchange of ideas and each also include social elements such as lunch and dinner as well as a group excursion after the actual conference to a location with a special reference to the topic of panorama. The presentations given at the conferences range from illustrated essays on topographical mapping to techniques of restoration and conservation.
