In our opinion, taking into account the refined technique that has Mario Sergio, we believe that should make every effort to find enough time to make glass sculptures that can auparle one of the most important positions within the world of glass through the torch. The third lecture will be given by Yolanda Tabanera. In his lecture will give a presentation of their work and discuss his experience with glass artisans.

Angela's husband was a few days ago at the Museum of Glass Art Alcorcón to provide the realization of an exhibition of works by his wife without charge to the museum. A few days later received with great surprise and disappointment on the other hand, a MAVA mail which informed them that could not make that statement because the characteristics of the works of Angela did not fit the criteria of the Museum. If this information is correct, and we have no reason to think that it is not, the doubts that assail us this refusal are What criteria for who? Catalan why not? Is what is being exposed recently in the MAVA, with all our respect for their authors, they comes to terms with what is exhibited in the permanent collection? Does the Museum can now afford to decline any offer of a stroke implies that any expense? Would not it be wiser to leave it in the pipeline for possible future need? On February 29 we visited the house-museum Dutch artist Angela Teunissen is in Madrid. Even when they should have included this reference in the Bulletin of last February, could not be so because they are already closed issue. All works have been carried out on Angela some inspiration from the artist related to its vital principle "give and take = share". Therefore, the project entitled "Art of Sharing".

With this policy we believe that the official who holds the address MAVA is making a deplorable management and a clear sign of this is the loneliness in which is the collection, with fewer and fewer visitors. Given that the museum has the figure of Javier Gomez as its Artistic Director and his appointment by the previous Municipal Corporation and the approval of the various political groups that formed it, gives it the power to decide on the suitability of the works to be displayed, do not understand the reasons why the officer aforesaid is irroga such powers and dismisses out of offers that the museum receives from the artists who perform their works with glass, basically. And above all, that the offer does not involve any payment for municipal coffers. View images

The antique dealers often call these deposits because sulphides in contact with glass, fine porcelain cameo acquires a silvery appearance reminiscent of the silver sulfide.
mostly from the middle of the twentieth century. Therefore, inclusion consider the introduction of any material vitreous or vitreous not enclosed in a glass mass.
This can be accomplished mainly in two ways: working the molten glass mass, removing it from a crucible, or by working with the fusion techniques ceramic furnace or melter as those described along In a carved wooden mold, then molten iron poured artisan ceramic this part of the thesis . paste composition, the baked and In the second procedure we now cooled slowly then. turn. After heating the red cameo, it centered on a viscous glass at the same temperature, and coated with a glass portion of the measure, since the land without deformation refractory supports only one heat softened glass. Is an expensive procedure due to the high percentage of breakage. The only text where the word has been found inclusion, referring directly to the vitreous or vitreous materials enclosed in a glass mass, has been the manual Warm Glass, although the use of this term with this meaning is now current in any forum of contemporary glass. However, it seems that not much spread among scholars of the history of art glass, perhaps because this method of work has been used
Experimentation with inclusions. Most data have been obtained empirically inclusions, because as mentioned above there is not much information. For experimentation, we have worked with flat glass float of Spanish Glass 3mm. thick. The procedure is simple: cut square or rectangular pieces of glass and is enclosed inside a sandwich, the material being studied. Then introduced into the oven and baked under a proper temperature curve, which allow the two pieces of glass to reach total fusion.
It should make a piece of glass before cooking with a heat resistant material, indicating the matter is inside, because after cooking may be unrecognizable. You can not enclose any matter within the glass. During the testing of a new subject for inclusions, we venture some of the problems to be addressed, although not in all cases. Also we will meet with materials whose behavior we can not predict the glass: hence the importance of empirical findings for inclusion in these proceedings. Among the problems which arise when mixing glass with other materials point out the following: 1. Which are due to the physicochemical nature of glass. The first is the coefficient of expansion. As already mentioned several times, the glass has a specific behavior in its expansion and contraction, if it is adhered to a material which does not expand or shrink to the same extent at the same speed, breakage will occur.
The materials to include in the glass Thus, the material is enclosed within must be compatible with respect to its coefficient of expansion, or be the glass. sufficiently plastic to the incompatiThe scheme could be that disclobility does not produce cracks. sed in Fig 1.

The installation creates a three dimensional map of what cosmologists call "The Multiverse", a set of variations and other embodiments of possible universes. In this collision unlikely in conjunction with interior design and cosmology, McElheny is a lot of ideas that intersect with modern, abstract art to create a work of breathtaking formal beauty and science. The exhibition also included a film with a soundtrack commissioned by Paul Schütze.
McElheny is a glass artist for a long journey that culminated in works such as ISLAND UNIVERSE that came out during 2008 to 2011 in New York at the Museum of Glass and is now part of a collection of modern abstract art books . The artist who does the work is McElheny using the cosmologist David Weinberg for his work the Island Universe borrowed the name of the philosopher Immanuel Kant, who in 1755 coined the term in his General History of the nature and theory of heaven .

FEAM Congress.
Volume II — Number 43
April 2012
Once assembled members of Congress and held a dinner guest at the Hotel Amalthea. In the afternoon of that Saturday was held the Assembly of the Federation of Friends of Museums, a visit was made by the city and returned to Murcia. On Sunday morning we went to Cartagena to visit the Roman Theatre Museum, the walls of Carlos III and the National Museum of Underwater Archaeology (ARQUA). In both centers, their top executives made us a guided tour and closed ARQUA Congress. The second weekend of last March was held in Murcia the XX Congress of Friends of Museums. This Congress had as its motto "Friends, museums and cultural volunteer." We drove and drive to Murcia city and after leaving our stuff in the hotel, we move to the Archaeological Museum which was scheduled the opening of Congress. We arrived at the museum when I was starting the lecture by writer and journalist James Delgado and on "The Tudmir Cora." Then we enjoyed an extraordinary guitar concert by Carlos Piñana Conesa, graduate degrees in Music from the Conservatory of Murcia and Master in Music Research at the University of this city. Carlos belongs to a family of deep flamenco tradition and, therefore, has lived and assimilated flamenco since childhood. His performances are scattered throughout the world and has collaborated with many internationally renowned artists. He has also composed, directed
and performed the music of different shows. He currently holds the Chair of flamenco guitar at the Conservatory of Music of Murcia and the Department of the School of Art Foundation Flamenco Cante de las Minas. We end this Friday with a dinner party attended most of the delegates and other attendees. On Saturday we went to Lorca where there was a conference on What is volunteering? Taught by Amate Mar Garcia, managing director of the Platform of Volunteering in Spain. Then carry out a debate on the subject Keys to volunteer in the next decade. The companions during the day's work went to Alhama de Murcia, where they visited the Archaeological Museum "The Baths" and then came to Lorca to visit the Visitor Center Lorca. Time Workshop. After Lorca visited the city (Cloister of the Convent of Mercy, Museum of the White Pass Embroidery, Embroidery Museum Step Blue and the Church of San Francisco.
Back to Murcia in the afternoon each participant returned to his place of origin. In our opinion, we still consider, as in previous years, the working sessions of these Conferences are very short and are inadequate given the number of times that occur during the presentations. Nor do we consider of interest issues that have been discussed in the last Congress, when considering the varied problems that we suffer the various Associations of Friends of Museums and the need for us to find common solutions. We estimated, and we have stressed in the survey that we sent to the EGF, that Congress should take advantage of the hours of Congress to discuss problems and solutions, while the companions make a tourist program in the area. In the past we have taken a rather belligerent about this matter, but as we believe it is going to continue doing these events with the same schedule, we simply present our views because we believe that the most loyal is to make constructive criticism of what which seems manifestly improved.

From drawing to photography, sculpture, installations, projects for large format and virtual sculpture. What are your sources of inspiration? I guess it's the world around me. The music I listen, I read books, film and art that I see, my friends and family. It is difficult to discern what really inspires me, I assume that's all I care. Who are your influences in art? These have been changing like me and my work we have done. David Magan is a glass sculptor trained at the School of Arts and Crafts in Madrid. Light is the central element in his works, the use of transparency through the primary colors that overlap one another, create different colored cambinaciones vary by changing the position of the spectator experience with the environment. Why did you choose the glass as a material for your work? As a material ether, pure, clean and to which the light passes through and transformed.

Normally suspend the glass plates with steel cables. What glass do you use? I use glasses that are commonly used in the production of leaded lights. They go through a process of semiindustrial production and their colors depend on the internal composition of each.

How did you develop your career? With much effort, sacrifice and above all, perseverance. What are the plans for 2012? I have opened several fronts. Mainly, keep working hard with my gallery, Gallery Cayon, I will carry ARCO Madrid and other international fairs such as London and ArtBo PINTA (Bogota). I will continue presenting public sculpture projects, a topic that interests me a lot. Also I have in mind any installation design, as I did in 2011 for the Art of ArtBasel Statatements, but was not selected. And, surely, to produce a sculpture medium sized (1.5 - 2 meters) outdoors. As for exhibitions, have been selected for European Glass Context 2012, the New Talent category. So my work may be premium time in Denmark.

According to Morton (1999), the two main types of glass paint and enamels are metallic luster. Both apply similarly. Glosses are metal compounds which, in the furnace, a small amount of deposited metal on the glass surface, making iridescent. The oldest seems to be the silver nitrate, which becomes yellow when cooked. ELSKUS (1980), distinguishes between two types of colors to glass: the glass or grisaille painting (limited
palette and opaque) and transparent colors or enamels (more varied, but poor adhesion to the glass surface). The former are used to draw outlines, drop shadows and graphics. Recommended in the house Reusche, and others like Hancock and Drakenfeld. Application techniques on glass enamels. The term "glass paint" according to Kohler (1998) often refers more to the windows and other traditional methods, while "enamel on glass" usually refers to other artistic techniques. • Painting on glass. Traditional techniques The techniques of traditional glass painting are still used in contemporary glass art. Can be applied by brush mixed with an oil based medium or water. The water is cleaner because it does not leave residue when burned. The consistency of the mixture varies from enamel to another, but is often used a part of the enamel by two half. You must be dried before baking. ELSKUS (1980) suggests the following means: • Water • Alcohol • Oils such as clove, anise, lavender, oil of turpentine, dammar varnish • White vinegar • Glycerin • Water with powdered gum arabic • Water with sugar View images

The Palace of Charles V in Granada is an amazing construction of the Renaissance style located in the heart of the Alhambra.

Short-term courses are proposed program covering a wide range of topics, its virtuality is the diversity of content that otherwise could not be included in the initial offer in September. Furthermore, the duration is so disparate from one day to three modalities in their methodological approaches, cluster, of timing, activities and approaches. The short course format is a proposed program in the People's University that achieves two important goals: first, to incorporate courses that complement the contents of the different classrooms and school, and, second, to accommodate proposals that, even without reference to the contents of any classroom, are considered interesting program in the framework of the VHS because they provide new content and interest to the public. This course is taught glass by our friend Luis Macht.

Studies show that exposure before birth and early age causes changes in the mammary glands that predispose women to develop breast cancer over their lifetime. High levels of this substance is also associated with testicular cancer, decreased sperm count, abortions, a tendency to advance the date of puberty, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
An Institute of Ceramics and Glass Center of Scientific Research commissioned by the National Association of Manufacturing Auto Glass Containers (ANFEVI) to confirm the absence of Bisphenol A (BPA) in glass containers has concluded that the analysis certificates glass containers manufactured in Spain by factories belonging to ANFEVI confirm the absence of all the substances on the list SVCH of European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
Furthermore, no organic substances were detected, made consistent with the high melting temperatures (1500 ° C) and high residence times at these temperatures (~ 20 h) of the glass melt. Since these substances are deposited either in subsequent treatments, is ruled out any possibility of accommodating this type of substances in the final product. In particular, glass containers produced by all associated companies ANFEVI not contain Bisphenol

Canada has banned BPA in the manufacture of bottles, while for the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has banned the use of this compound in bottles in 2010. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States and the European Union are currently reviewing scientific information to determine whether to take further regulatory action.

In "The Tr3s R" we will explain the process of transformation of four types of household waste, some old friends as cartons and paper and metal containers and plastic as well as organic matter and glass. It also focuses attention on an industrial waste such as copper, present in many devices of everyday life such as appliances or computers.
Society is slowly becoming aware of the need to further deepen the philosophy of the three Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle. CosmoCaixa Madrid returns to affect this important issue for our planet and opened on 1 March its new temporary exhibition "The Tr3s R" in his museum in the capital. There is plenty of time to go visit as it will for all until next February 10, 2013. The exhibition highlights the millions of products we consume and throw away the packaging of which after a few minutes of your life. Cartons and paper, metals, plastic containers, glass and other debris such as appliances and much more. Once used they become waste, until recently, ended up in the garbage indiscriminately.
Therefore, "The Tr3s R" raises the question: Can be remedied the problem of waste? The first step is to reduce consumption through responsible consumption.
The purpose of the exhibition is ultimately sensitize people about how valuable they may be small changes in habits, in this case add to the overall strategy to reduce, reuse and recycle.
The best waste is not generated! We must reuse products still serve.
The combination of the three must be a commitment by all, and visit this exhibition may be a good opportunity to understand why.
Reuse allows to extend the life of the products.
When: From March 1, 2012 to February 10, 2013, Tuesday to Sunday.
The last step is to recycle parts and materials to convert waste into raw material to manufacture new products.

But that does not matter because something much better, which is cryptically offers credible. And of extraordinary beauty. No painter of his generation, and generate the excitement of color, has been so wise and sensible, and free, in the exploration of color and emotion. Chagall was born and learn to look at life in a small Russian town, Vitebsk, in the late nineteenth century.

These include digital displays and collages showing the microuniverse Oursler own. Many of the characters find their way through all the different media within the exhibition. Tony Oursler, known for its innovative combination of video, sculpture and performance, exploring the relationship between the individual, the media and the mass media, with humor, irony and imagination. It opened in Soledad Lorenzo gallery exhibition entitled False-Color Actions "false color ACTIONS" Tony Oursler. The artist on this occasion, his fifth single in the gallery presents a collection of his most recent continuous exploration of the nature of human relationships.
Each individual installation is a combination comprising: bubbles of different colors made of glass blowing, photo prints and sculptures in fiberglass. Individually, the works present a stage on which light up and cast characters.
Here the artist adds new elements to their compositions of sculpture and video projections.
Blown glass bubbles represent the own speech bubbles in comics and in them are captured video projections.
Human figures printed to scale and colors abound in the gallery - these forms are cut out and reanimated by video projections and sound.
These facilities face juxtaposed animated characters, frozen, suggesting isolation and interpersonal struggle.
Among other artists, Oursler has collaborated with Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth member.

This impressive initial sketch, dated 1500, which strangely recalls the power of Picasso, has four figures instead of three (Juan Bautista fell at the end of the cartel, replaced by the innocent lamb that announces the tragic fate of the child ) and exposed for the first time with the final result. Conceived in Florence, left to paint the Battle of Anghiari in the Palazzo Vecchio, executed mainly in Milan and completed unfinished at the court of Francis I of France where Leonardo died, no one knows who commissioned the work, historians doubt among Louis XII of France and a Florentine collector. But we do know that the Santa Ana there was talk in 1503, and that Leonardo took it, along with the Mona Lisa and the beautiful San Juan Bautista, who also exposed now, when in 1916 he went to France.
The former faint blue mantle of the Virgin is now a very lively lapis lazuli. The hair and the veil of Santa Ana are so sharp that you can almost touch. In the rocky landscape in the background, the famous Leonardo atmospheric perspective, shaped by the mysterious technique of non-finite, and its vibrant gray have been clarified so that the Commissioner ensures that you can see a stream of water to the bottom, perhaps forgot to add " with a good magnifying glass. " The St. Anne Leonardo da Vinci, his most ambitious and more thoughtful, a huge oil painting on poplar wood solid (168 x 130 cm) that genius swept through Europe over the last 20 years of his life (1452-1516) , now shines with a light and more majestic than a box looks like a sculpture. After a 18-month restoration, which split the international scientific committee composed of 16 specialists to cause two high-profile resignations, the Louvre opens tomorrow overwhelming exposure, which lasts until 25 June and clothes to the new Madonna with Child and St. Ana with 135 works. The visit, a Tuesday and the Louvre closed to the public, it's exciting, "like attending a revival or a revival", as defined by the young and passionate Delieuvin Vincent, the museum curator who organized the exhibition. In his view "all great art deserves at least a century restoration," and this has required a long and not easy. The Louvre began to think about cleaning the
last, unfinished work by Leonardo in the nineties, given look dull and faded, and in view of the chips and the many layers of varnish-like yellow was the Mona Lisa. Once decided, in 2009, it was urgent to intervene, it took a year to seek funding and choose the team of restorers through public tender. The director of the restoration is the Italian Cinzia Pasquali, and the patron Barry Lam, CEO of Quanta Computer, a Taiwanese group. Although, during the work, the two scientists resigned Pasquali accused of having done too aggressive restoration, the museum today defended his work as "very careful" and states that it has followed the principle of least possible using clean techniques reversible so that in the future may be revised without damage. The hardest part was "spot clean and remove layers of paint and repainted" that hid the stroke subtle yet very physical Leonardo. One of the surprises revealed is that the infrared fingerprints had impregnated Da Vinci everywhere. "Now we know who put his fingers in the oil, that shaped the layers by hand, crushed and put the new layers to achieve the effect desired relief," says Delieuvin. The Santa Ana was the great obsession of the Tuscan master, the best sign of perfectionism, as more than 50 studies and drawings, mostly coming
According to Vincent Delieuvin, the work is "the scientific and artistic testament, his whole world is there, all his wisdom. The renewal of the iconography, the dynamism of the scene, the natural, landscape, life and the tragedy of the characters, the lightness of the lines give a magical effect, and we understand why in 1517 to see the Santa Ana the study of Leonardo was already a big draw. " Why has more fame and more seductive the Mona Lisa? "Because it looks at the viewer directly, because it is a portrait not divine because it is closer, because that challenges us and smile is a unique star." The direction of thought Louvre's Mona Lisa temporarily transferred to the rooms on the mezzanine which exhibits the Santa Ana at the end gave up, thinking that the 20,000 daily visitors entering the Louvre to see it not possible to appreciate the enduring influence of this Virgin languid that fascinated Delacroix, Degas and Max Ernst. Another of the gems of the exhibition is the humble Gioconda Madrid. The discovery of the Prado has a special place, 25 meters from the Santa Ana, and near the San Juan Bautista. Colorful and pimpante, arriving home to his model recalls the Mona Lisa is just a dark and blurry reflection of what it was. Varnished to dirt, tucked in his glass cage, saddened by the passing of time. Do you dare to touch the Louvre? "The restoration of the Santa Ana, and the magnificent restoration of the copy of the Prado have shown that it is technically possible to restore the Mona Lisa," says the curator. "Now we see through different eyes, a copy of Madrid has revealed details that do not know. It's still better than it was the Santa Ana But one day there will have to, because every day is darker. "

In the text he wrote for the catalog, Jaime Moreno Villarreal explained that alballuri is "the Arabic etymology of the word 'bead', which means in Spanish accounts of glass necklaces and jewelry enristran, which means 'transparency or lens' ". The production of these "beads", Toledo worked in the glass workshop Xaquixe Studio, San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, founded in 2002 by Christian Crosses and Harp Salime Thornton.
The mere mention of the name of Francisco Toledo is more than enough to attract the public to an exhibition of the artist.

During his participation in the Cervantes, Toledo said that the use of glass was a new facet of his work and he had to do with a project done with the firm Legorreta + Legorreta for the doors of the auditorium of the new building graduate Faculty of Economics, National Autonomous University of Mexico.
Toledo, who is in Oaxaca has also used tempered glass and blown glass.

From 2010, Toledo began his exploration of various techniques in glass: blown, fused glass and now the sand. According to the workshop, Toledo is the first artist in the world to use the mineral mica encapsulated in glass. Last year, Toledo created the stained glass chapel in the center of the former Convent of San Pablo, Oaxaca, recently restored by the Fundación Alfredo Harp Helu. The different elements are reflected in the stained glass manifested one or the other, depending on the angle of light at different times of day.
