Within our program Culture 2012, on Saturday January 28th we scheduled a visit to the Museo Sorolla in Madrid, to visit the temporary exhibition "Sorolla Granada." At the time of enrollment in order our visit to the Museum, one of the staff serving the information desk told us that, from the early days of the month of February, guided tours of the Museum's collection were suppressed, but knew the reasons or causes of that reduction.

And considering its negative effects are not significant in a number of cases and short-term because they will all be compliments and congratulations of those Markozys by the measures taken. But the museums, of whatever kind, of magnitudes that are, bearing property, can not and should not have guided tours.

one of the easiest measures to implement in
To fill this lamentable suppression is where they need to collaborate, in our opinion and among other duties, the Associations of
Friends of Museums that are affected by these cuts. I do not need great oratory skills and develop academic theses to explain to visitors the characteristics of the funds to house the collections of various museums that have this problem. Most of them do not come, not nearly to the extensive collections which may have the Museo del Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen, to name the most famous in the national cultural scene. Most of the public attending the tours only demand a few simple explanations of the main features of the works that are contemplating. They do not need more content. Therefore, we believe it is an affordable work and very rewarding on the other hand, for the respective members of Associations of Friends to collaborate to guide his own museum. And that work will always be grateful for the audience and is also a means of disseminating their own associations to increase the number of its members. Everything but the public has to wander among the works without being able to enjoy the details that make them irreplaceable specimens.

During the 60 lived in the Caribbean in Trinidad-and-four years in Cuba, with a short stay in New York also. Finally in 1972 he established his residence in Antwerp, Belgium, where it has become a source of inspiration for many young Belgian artists. No wonder then, that his work contains references to the Jewish religion, sometimes treated as unorthodox when mixed with erotic and sexual elements. The addition of suggestive titles, sometimes with a touch of humor, allow an approach to the interpretation of his works. In the field of sculpture Leibovitz is a master of glass blowing though his work encompasses several overlapping techniques: etched, sandblasted or height to the grindstone and diamond. Born in Romania, educated in Israel and resident in Belgium for decades, Edward Leibovitz is an artist with a complex and extremely interesting, as himself. Trained in the field of painting and printmaking at the Academy of Fine Arts Okshi, Haifa, Jerusalem was not until 1972 that adopts the glass as a support of expression in sculpture, stained glass or facilities.
His work is always part of figuration, which does not necessarily mean it is easy to read. In fact Leibovitz weaves them their own symbolic universe with an aesthetic close to surrealism and the work of Marc Chagall, with which it could establish existential parallels.
Edward Leibovitz's book published in 1994 with texts by Marcel van Jole and Sylva Petrova (VAN JoLe 1994) among others, is an essential tool for anyone wishing to deepen the work of this great artist. In the year 2000, MAVA dedicated a solo exhibition after which the artist donated the book "The elephant hunter".

The strict curriculum of the Academy of drawing and design classes for five years had its effect on the intention of the young student. The new designs will sometimes take hours, days or weeks. Once a drawing is satisfactory, a clay model is made. The next step is the actual sculpture in clay represented perfectly smooth surfaces and details.

Then follows a series of positive and negative molds, a process-oriented details that the cast will determine the outcome of final sculpture. At first the plaster molds were delivered to the Czech Republic by the artist in person, with the aim of selecting the best in the smelting of glass and a selection of stained glass available.
Boyadjiev Latchezar born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria, where he attended the Ceramics Department of the Academy of Applied Arts. In 1985 he was admitted to the prestigious Academy of Applied Arts in Prague, Czech Republic (formerly Czechoslovakia), under the direction of Professor Stanislav Libensky, one of the most important glass artists of our time and source of influence for most of the artists Glass in the Czech
Republic and Slovakia. In 1986, just after graduating from the Academy, Boyadjiev Latchezar defected to the United States through Italy. After settling in California, Boyadjiev has worked for over ten years in the field of optical glass, using cold working techniques such as cut, sanded, polished and laminated glass to create sculptures for which optical initially made known.

His work was introduced exciting new SOFA Chicago in 1997 and the response was very enthusiastic, dynamic sculptures that reflect the depth and dimension, a new approach to contemporary art and glass design.

"I appreciate the feelings I get from most spectacular nature and the little things of everyday life," says Shimomoto. "I think the beauty of small things in nature are the ones that affect my inspiration." The fragility of the glass has a visceral immediate impact that Shimomoto appreciated.
himomoto Harue manipulates glass sculptural tapestries, examination of the aesthetic possibilities of the fusion methods and concepts of the means of glass. His work goes beyond the wall to create pathways through a
complex web of glass rods, transforming the gallery space into a meditative journey. Shimomoto shows the simplicity and clarity, trying to draw their impressions in ways that express its essence.
But, he says, "I want the viewer is too conscious of the glass. I almost think that the glass itself is too beautiful to be a medium. Many people see the glass as a functional object or decorative material. I want to break the images of the glass and give a different quality. Therefore, I have very careful to do my job half as potent as it inspires me. " In his work Shimomoto is fighting for what she calls "a powerful peace: the calm of a mountain."

Furthermore, the ERE is also triggered by a hand by the uncertainty that hangs over the financing of the entity. The Director counters that it would not be too appropriate to extend the budget when they know they could get grants administrations and the general accounts of the Board and the State. The worst predictions have come true. From the 9th of last January is in effect Redundancy Employment (ERE) agreed by the National Glass Centre (CNV) of La Granja. The head of the institution, Aurea Juárez, has confirmed the adoption of this measure, that "we in the hands" both management and the representative body of workers. Therefore, a suspension is granted and, unfortunately, necessary for the reduction in income due to falling sales as a result of the lack of specificity for the year just started on the amounts of the budget and grants which nourishes the body by the state and regional administrations.

the representations that are covering the bodies which offers to the eye. Gender characteristics appear to be not very essential for the artist at the time of representing the human form, giving the sculpture features of demigods, mythical figures, totems, once there was some signal anatomical gender attributed to beings who represents but in general are rarely seen the genitals, which speaks of the artistic vision that the artist has. Often the color is embedded in the glass, Obaldia use this vocabulary in all his works, evoking historical and mystical associations. The memory of tradition and the elements of our cultural heritage is a very valid in artistic creation, which commemorate events, ideologies, beliefs, to rebuild with new languages but clearly identified with certain ancient cultures. Symbolism in art became an expression of mysticism, as a continuation of tradition and reactionary realistic approach of Impressionism. Using symbols and pictorial conventions consistently, Symbolism expressed allegorical meanings, which in a metaphorical allusion was made to real-world phenomena with a more abstract language. If we speak of Latin American Art, we see that in its diversity and individuality, there is also a load of symbols that evoke the cultural elements of each part of the continent, each artist in his search for inspiration, find some elements that enrich your proposal and the are different. This is the case of Isabel de Obaldia, artist who was born in Washington (1957) but grew up and lived in Panama City, Panama where he acquired all this cultural influence and symbolism and incorporates them into his work, resulting powerful sculptures that recall images of ancient art and tribal. Primary: paintings and sculptures ObaldĂa Elizabeth, is an exhibition organized by the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale commemorating the 50th anniversary of the founding of Studio Glass Movement,
which led the formation of glassstudy schools throughout the United States and concentrate more significant production of glass art, and as a retrospective in the artistic work of this outstanding artist, making an emphasis on creating a series of sculptures in glass with a technique that includes their own manufacturing and introduction of new techniques .
Transformation of human being into an animal, covered with vegetation torsos, heads that seem to stare into space, limbs that are suspended as trophies of war, all these parts made of glass, the artist Isabel De Obaldia describes her work as almost a canvas on which can explore the possibilities of colors and textures.

Both tests can be done in one firing, but will be monitored through a peephole from 500 ° C to see which is the softening temperature, once noted it continues to raise the temperature to 800 ° C for the thermal map of the oven . (Fig. VII) We will test the same softening described for ceramic furnace (stop at some point a sheet of glass 3 mm thick and 20 x 1 cm, to soften by heat must touch a nail set 5mm below). We will at once with two types of glass: float Bullseye Glass and Spanish specific merger. To make the heat map will make the total fusion test and relief described in this chapter. (Fig. VIII).

The sample consisted of 10 windows that recreate iconic works of Ecuadorian painter, was mounted for a month, and the reception was such that the pieces remain in the territory of Havana, waiting for another space to expose the public, probably in the House of Alba.
Omar and David Ernesto Dasmián are two brothers (born in that order) that unites them, besides the usual blood and emotional ties, the love of glass. A little more than a decade, the largest of the Sánchez Prieto, civil engineering graduate, he began making art glass. Then, aroused the interest and talent of the youngest of the family, and together they entered the world of stained glass and Lamparo. But the experience has not been easy. Navigating in a demonstration that does not have any tradition in the city of Camagüey, has forced them to learn by doing, selftaught, and to some extent limits the social and artistic recognition of his work. In addition to the complex that makes purchase of raw materials and equipment needed.

Dasmián received a mention in the form of metal, with all Primavera (light fixture and table center), while David, with the cornucopia (table lamp) won the award in the same event. His work also Silent Square, a stained glass recreation of a colonial building demolished Camagüey, was recognized by the gallery Alejo Carpentier. Just the architecture-specific Camagüey's historic sites and high artistic value, will be the subject of the new series of windows that keep you busy the youngest of the brothers during 2012. "It's a way to unite my two passions, and also called for the preservation of this beautiful city," explained David.

Collateral to the exhibition, the group of Glass Prints, Camaguey project comprising four other young men besides Dasmián and David, which is also dedicated to making art with glasses, made a kind of workshop participants routes and walking summer one of the proposals organized by the Office of the Historian of Havana. Precisely this institution were given two separate awards for his contribution to the development of a space that promotes interest in the culture. December also brought good news for the protagonists of this story. Three of the pieces in the collection of Oswaldo Guayasamin, were exposed in the International Crafts Fair in Havana, another proof that the stained glass and Lamparo in Camagüey, is making inroads thanks to the ingenuity of some "bold" as David and Dasmián Sánchez Prieto. To corroborate this, is the invitation from the president of the manifestation of glass and metal of the ACAA Havana to participate in the First Exhibition of Stained organized by the art institution. Without doubt, 2012 promises to be another good year for this family of amateur artists who have decided to go for art and talent beyond adversity.

Visit to Victor Polo. February 2012
Well, Victor was asked to perform the windows for this new version of the sanctuary, where every September 8 devotees from all over the province come to visit the shrine to Our Lady of the Mountains in a renowned pilgrimage.
Volume II — Number 41
So Victor got to work and made a dozen beautiful stained glass windows for the sunlight entered this place turned into color inside the sanctuary. All expenditure of this artistic work, as we said Victor, has been borne by the brothers brotherhood of Our Lady of the Mountains.
In the early days of this year were visiting the area around Jerez de la Frontera and its surroundings. Take this opportunity to pay a visit to Victor Polo stained glass, which has a studio set in Jerez. Our work took us to the place where Victor has an additional workshop and the car park to achieve, but at last we found the site and left our car. The workshop is small in size but with enough space to make their creations Victor glass of different colors. This window began operations in El Puerto de Santa MarĂa, where he has held much of his trade as a creator of beautiful and artistic glass puzzle. But circumstances rule, the crisis tightens, the costs multiply, the market is constrained and Victor have to liquidate their business in the port and find a new place of work. And in Jerez de la Frontera. Do not let the light within Cadiz but changes heady plot. His studies in design and drafting help him concoct his creations.

It shows several collections of photographs with his works for private homes, mostly. Orders received from various parts of the southern half of the peninsula, including some in Madrid. But the work that we consider as the most important of his career is done for the Shrine of Our Lady of the Mountains, located in the town of Villamartin, one of the white villages in the mountains of Cadiz. Specifically, the sanctuary is about 9 kms from the village, situated on the hill Pajarete failure. In the picture we show in this report is a picture of the window he designed for the front of the new chapel of the Sanctuary, because it has two chapels oriented in the opposite direction and the chapel of the Virgin in the middle of the two. If the religious ceremony celebrated in the oldest of the two and rather small, because the image is oriented towards it. If the number of the faithful on the advice of the place in the new, much larger, and then the image is rotated to be oriented toward the other side.
Victor's creative ideas and designs that we saw on their albums attracted much attention and decided to see them in reality, so we set out to take advantage of the wonderful day we were enjoying in Jerez and we move on to the shrine to see "in situ "the windows. On page 44 of this Newsletter you can see some pictures we took of the sanctuary and stained glass. When we were enjoying the mountain scenery that is visible from the sanctuary, came to us by Mr. Paco, the husband of the former caretaker of the enclosure as this title was inherited by his unmarried daughter, due to the age of their parents. Mr. Paco had just eaten and was ready to give a brief walk around the chapel, but came to see us willing to lend a tirade. The man told us he just had surgery on one knee and that "the vet" had advised him to give every day a walk through the most flat where he. He also told us she had been working during his wild cow keeper in a nearby farmhouse, which had participated numerous times in the section of wild cattle for bull and had contracted a friendship with the right JesulĂn Ubrique. The good Mr. Paco we did spend a great time with his good humor and anecdotes in its long existence.

Lange Marina is very concerned about environmental damage. The events of the tragedy of Fukushima's made in his works reflect different aspects that threaten our seas.

On Wednesday 1 February at 20'00h, entitled Is there Anybody there?. A group exhibition of contemporary Spanish artists whose works revolve around the theme of communication. From new installations and a video projection, with glass as a medium of expression, each artist offers us his own interpretation on the relationship with others: Pilar Aldana,
and Joaquim Tembleque Merixtell Falco, Lorraine Valdepérez, Xavi Muñoz, Ricardo Calero, Yolanda Tabanera, Ana Talens, Monika Uz, Javier Velasco and Miguel Soler. This exhibition, organized by the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, after its closure in the MAVA (April 30) will continue its tour to the National Glass Centre Foundation of La Granja.

Botin Foundation plans for its new headquarters. "We want to fluff the building, making it more transparent and regain its industrial image with austerity, which are not times for stories," said Emilio Varela and Diego Medina, MVN Architects, responsible for transforming the old store, dark and theatrical, in a plant polyvalent for events and other offices. Rehabilitation hard work was done before, so their work is more about changing the suit to the building. Or better yet, naked.

As a foundation we try to get out of the typical classical prize or scholarship, we explore new ways of encouraging innovation and solidarity, and we wanted a building that represents that." I mean, that was not stale. They do not care about the 50 meters separating it from the street of Goya. "We need a showcase," says Saenz de Miera. "We have to appeal to passing on the street, people will come here to do something."

• Adjusting the melting point This is another concern we have when we go to work with enamels and glazes on glass. Enamels for glass decoration.
In Soyer enamels for copper, this double addition has been positive in some cases, as in the S39 (red violet). Lundstrom, B. (1991), notes that soft enamels do not adhere as well to make the float as Bullseye.
Generally, the specific glass enamels melt at a temperature of about 500-600 ° C, as is the usual use of glassware decoration already formed, and a higher temperature would cause distortion.

2. Heating rate.
• Another problem may be the excess surface tension that creates a textured drop, not having reached sufficient temperature to achieve greater fluency in the glaze.
The glaze will melt sooner if slowly heated above the transformation range (approximately 500 º -600 º C) since the merger process starts from a gradual softening.
These problems will be solved by adding fluxes.
If heated quickly, you have to cook at a higher temperature so that the glaze is completely melted.
However, we must take into account the flux can influence slight changes in color or texture of the glaze, and not all are suitable fluxes heat at certain intervals.
3. Final cooking temperature. You have to keep more or less time cooking temperature to achieve final homogeneity in the oven, releasing gases and refine the glaze.

The Colossus of Ripollés.
Volume II — Number 41
February 2012
The Government has reserved 300,000 euros planned for 2012 budget to pay for a sculpture that, in his opinion, "has a much lower cost than the average of other provincial airports sculptures, because the artist has given up on receiving any artistic canon" . The artist Juan Ripollés denied in an interview on radio program "La Ventana" the sculpture that adorns the entrance to the airport of Castellon is inspired by Carlos Fabra, but defended the former management of the council, which he said has satisfied "to employers and the local people. "
The Castellón airport with no planes will soon have its particular guardian: a giant metal inspired more than 20 tonnes in the figure of PP provincial president, Carlos Fabra, whose head will an airplane. The Valencian artist Juan Ripollés is finished installing the sculpture 24 meters high cost 300,000 euros and flanking the entrance to the airport grounds. The work has been controversial from the start, both for its cost and for serving as a tribute to Carlos Fabra, president of the council charged with various tax crimes and still president of the Public Company SL Castellón Airport (Aerocar), in which the Generalitat and the council. Carlos Fabra who was hired in 2010 to Ripollés, an artist who has a large number of sculptures dotted around the city and has attended public dinners Fabra fully support prosecution. Ripollés said after the commission, that the sculpture would serve to honor the drive of the airport project. "A figure that he will head a plane, that is the germ and the sperm of the birth of the work," he said. An inspiration of which he boasted
himself Carlos Fabra: "He [Ripollés] has inspired me, and I do not think undeservedly, I've had a lot to do with the airport, if I immodesty." "I think it's wonderful, if they also inspire the muse and would be perfect," said Fabra. For the opposition, this charge is just another example of "megalomania" which will cost 300,000 euros to the public purse. The recruitment of the giant sculpture, according to a recent audit reveals, was held in June 2010 without the approval of the board of Aerocar and deficiencies in the documentation. The Government has acknowledged that it was Carlos Fabra who signed the contract with Ripollés in July 2010, but the request was hatched a year ago. The Valencian Government argued that Aerocar commissioned a law firm a legal report "to determine the method by which you could hire an artist of unquestionable prestige, a native of Castellon, as Ripollés." In late 2009 the board of Aerocar was a model and a sketch of the work, but it was not until September 2011 when his contract was formally approved.
In such statements, Ripoll said that once the work is completed, people will ask "Where is Carlos Fabra? '. "They are going to mean, that was Don Carlos? Yes she was wrong portraits Mr. 'Ripo.' " The painter and sculptor, said the inspiration for the sculpture came "a person of the fauna of my images," and the fact that the airport finally "has been achieved." Also, do not hesitate to describe the work as "a miracle". "If someone does something like 300,000 euros with what I've done, I cut two ears, like Van Gogh, cut only one", said in 'The Window'. Ripollés also referred to the future viability of the airport, an infrastructure that is "from the beginning." In this regard, said it is not possible to know "if it is profitable or not," since that is still pending "the final permit must grant the central government." Asked about their consideration in some circles as an artist favored by the PP, the Castellon said he has been the public face work with all types of governments and that the money you earn doing work in the private sector "I invest in public ". "I'm putting my own pocket money" during his speech ended Ripollés on the radio. See Bulletin No. 34

Many of the Spanish fashion houses these days fill their windows with posters of their production contract sales to factories and workshops around the world.

The promise of development through the implementation of a textile industry is export oriented an unfulfilled promise in Morocco.
