The last remodeling of the government team Alcorcon City Council , have established five holdings Hall , which the Mayor will lead to savings in expenditure . I doubt that this is so , since the rise of several Deputy Mayors Councillors to an increase in their salaries . But specifying what our museum is concerned, it will cease to be the direct responsibility of the Department of Culture, whose owner take away powers but will amount to Deputy Mayor for competition become the First Deputy Mayor Jose Gabriel Astudillo, dispossessed of the Presidency of the recent conflict ESMASA employee of garbage collection in our town . This high office directly assume the new Department of Arts and Museums .

But on the other hand, with some reluctance we receive the transfer of responsibility to the Museum from Mr. Astudillo .
On the other hand , has not attended any of the openings and exhibitions that have taken place in the Museum since taking office in the Department , while other events held by various associations of our city itself have been told by their presence, demonstrating their lack of interest in our institution.
We can not forget that this man forced us to abandon the Museum Auditorium to celebrate our concert scheduled for last June 14 to mark the completion of a conference of Arts and Markets . Editorial In our Bulletin last July we were referring to this unique and eviction. Hence our reluctance. A sign of arrogance of that caliber is not the best sign that democratic behavior and respect for the rights acquired by an entity in advance is the most appropriate .

The core work Lisa is a desire to register the tension , gravity , the compression and energy flow . Although it is ordinary phenomena , tangibly present everywhere , is fascinated by the process of revealing thermoformed glass. The resulting sculpture emerges from its environment. Subtly persuades the viewer to question how we are connected with the forces that shape the work and nature. The juxtaposition of the natural and man-made have a strong presence in his work, along with an interest in the distinctive line and the illusory form . Apart from repeated exposures , Lisa also works commissioned where she can respond to a natural or historic environment . Originally from California with experience in graphic design, Lisa is based in Surrey ( UK ) . He won a second prize in the Cup UCA Farnham in 2005. In 2012 she was nominated for the Aesthetica Art Prize and completed two commissions for the National Trust in Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire. Also for The National Trust, which was commissioned by Unravelled in 2013 to produce a sculpture for the house Tudor The Vyne near Basingstoke.

The Eiffel Tower, symbol of Paris undisputed inaugurase since the Universal Exhibition of 1889 , celebrates its 125th anniversary engrossed in a rehabilitation process that will not return until after the summer its old . The development of the " Iron Lady " , as known to this structure 330 meters high end "around September or October," and will then , according to EFE a spokeswoman for the company , arriving the festivities. Although the restoration is the main reason that this year has been put damper on celebrations , there is a second reason : "I celebrate its 120th anniversary and can not afford an annual tribute ." Behind this remodeling , explain , beats the need to " modernize" the monument , in particular its first floor , despite being the largest of the three , with 5,000 square meters, is the least tourists congregate. Looking for that touch to make the first level of the tower more attractive , much of the soil at 54
- meters high will become a platform of glass that give the visitor the "feeling of floating ." The Algerian architect Alain Moatti , father of the idea , has also planned to surround the inclined surface , also transparent panels to increase the feeling of being suspended over the city. With the new device, Moatti show has closely supporting structures of the tower, hitherto hidden . A "lifting" from SETE hope that translates into an increase of 20 percent in the number of annual visits and justify , say , the expansion project . The zeal to respect the work of the creator of the tower, Gustave Eiffel, also explains the restraint with which the works have been addressed , aiming at the modernization of the monument without losing its essence . The tower was inaugurated on March 31, 1889 at 13:30 local time, when Eiffel traced the 1,710 steps that separate the ground from the third floor from there and hoisted the flag of France. The architect (1832-1923) conceived as a temporary attraction for the Universal Exposition to be

The monument was surrounded by controversy during the two years it took to build it , with angry criticism from some intellectuals, who referred to it as a " disgrace " for Paris. Skepticism , however , soon became enthusiastic , and told the monument after its opening, with the approval of the Parisians.

Located at the foot of the Seine and one end of the Champ de Mars , offers an exceptional view enjoyed an average of 7 million tourists a year, which places it as the fourth most visited cultural enclave of the city , behind the cathedral Notre Dame, the Sacre Coeur and the Louvre .

And only a few professionals are dedicated to him in the world , including French Thomas Bloch.
" He then asked for a glass blower to create 37 bowls of different sizes ," said Bloch. Bowls , placed one inside the other without touching , are attached to a rotatable shaft whose speed is controlled by a pedal . The sound is produced when the player slides his fingers smeared with a mixture of water and chalk . The set has a mix of " sewing machine and kebab translucent " appearance, musician jokes .
