It has been a success in terms of participation performers who have performed six concerts I CYCLE PIANO " VALDERAS CASTLE " .

The choice was also very clear : we had to carry it out outside the Museum.

To do this, the most logical place would be the Conservatory " Manuel de Falla " of Follana July , the President our city, which already had of the Foundation " Miguel previously unsuccessfully Angel Colmenero " long probed the possibility of moago who was very interes- ving one of his pianos Muted in performing a piano seum . concert series and our Association shared that desi- One afternoon , I waited for your director , José Rodríre, so I personally started the search for a free trans- guez Martín Peris , who cafer grand piano for several me to the Conservatory and I construction companies in proposed the idea.

Given our limited financial resources , we could not allocate any funding to the rent of a grand piano .

Although we were not supporters of our activities and info@amigosmava.org shows the scope of MAVA , the choice was very clear: either we developed the activity outside the museum or not we performed.

to be performed between the last Saturday of January and the first Saturday in March at 12 noon .

On this last point I think we made a big mistake. We believe now that the schedule has not been chosen the most appropriate , given the scarcity of public who came to the concerts .

We thought maybe we should have chosen a schedule late as housework could have limited the presence of people that surely would have been able to go to concerts if they would have made the Saturday afternoon , so we must have it considered for future similar events.

Her answer was yes and we had a few days after the meeting to finalize the terms of the completion of the cycle .

Regarding the level of the performers from the concerts we can ensure that it has been very high. On the whole, been eight participants who have shown admirable quality and preparation. Also the level of the selected works has been very high , having some difficulty implementing a clear and a demand for a highly refined mastery of piano technique .

We quickly agreed on all aspects of it and we had significant support the relationship had remained in the Martin and Julio Follana past, having agreed on some musical events and also had common friends.

In our YouTube page can be viewed several concerts in this cycle , as the rest of those who have played are " uploaded " to " private" and are awaiting their interpreters give us approval to pass to " public. "

Agreed the terms of the partnership , there was only setting the dates of the cycle and the relevant application to the Department of Education of the City of Alcorcón for the transfer of space Auditorium of the Conservatory.

In short, I think it has been a very enriching experience that has made our City a small dose of musical culture that has provided interpreters a framework , totally disinterested in turn, they will serve in the future to more committed interventions.

We agreed that the cycle would consist of six concerts

The personality of Kyohei Fujita has great significance beyond its own work due to the important work of dissemination and appreciation of contemporary glass in Japan.

Richard Satava is a glass artist from California.

In the late 1980s , was inspired by Satava jellyfish tank in an aquarium.

Began experimenting with jellyfish sculptures in glass and in 1990 began selling glass jellyfish sculptures .

The sculptures were selling well , and made more Satava .

For 2002 , Satava was designing and creating 

three hundred sculptures of jellyfish each month.

Satava 's sculptures are sold in galleries and gift shops in forty states , and sell for hundreds or thousands of dollars , depending on size.

Satava has recorded several of his works in the Register of Copyrights.

Satava describes his sculptures as " vertically oriented , with colorful, jellyfish with tentacles fantasy-like tendril and a

Mlasowsky has a BA from the School of Design in Denmark in Bornholm.

I Piano Cycle "Castle Valderas”

Volume II — Number 64

March 2014



Between January 25 and March 1 was held on I CYCLE PIANO " VALDERAS CASTLE " .

What has been the cause of this weak public assistance ?

This activity had to be located outside the enclosure MAVA for not getting a grand piano for free to any place in the Museum Auditorium .

Each of the events has been announced in the five community centers in our town , School Conservatory own " Manuel de Falla " at the Museum of Glass Art , Center for the Arts in Public Library Carretera de Leganés , Little Castle , in the Casa de la Mujer , in the Senior Center " Salvador Allende" , at the Senior Center of the Community of Madrid, at the Sports Park in Lisbon and in the city of our city . In each of these centers have been advertising the event through posters with information on each of the concerts.

For our part, we believe that the Developed six concerts on Satur- publicity given to the six events days at 12 noon in the Auditowhich composed the cycle has rium of the College - Conservato- been as wide Socioeconomically ry " Manuel de Falla " Alcorcon. our doctors have allowed us .

Our Association had two alternatives : either take the musical activity outside the museum or not do it. The choice was clear , so we requested the collaboration of the College - Conservatory " Manuel de Falla " of our City and it was no problem to hold the cycle in its dependencies.

We welcome , therefore, the support received by the Director of the Centre, José Rodríguez Martín Peris , and the facilities provided for the cycle we were able to perform normally and with the greatest possible decorum .

We also have to thank , how could it be otherwise , the collaboration of the " Miguel Angel Colmenero " Foundation and its president , Julio Follana , without whose support would not have been possible to hold this piano cycle .

The level of participation of pianists has been very high , so this cycle I Piano " Castle Valdez " was a success.

Not so the level of public support , which has been rather limited.

or at least , we have not been able to do more .

Perhaps the time has not been chosen the most appropriate. To perform domestic work in the morning may have influenced the lack of audience. Perhaps, if we had concerts scheduled for the afternoon of Saturday , the number of people could have been greater.

Collect this experience so that similar events in future , decide to change the schedule of concerts , see if we can attract a wider audience .

We must also reflect on the kinds of events at issue : free environment of a school , programmed by a cultural entity and absence of famous artists, classical music.

Therefore, estimates that less has not been able to do more ,

It is unfortunate , but it is what it is and what, not only did we undaunted in our proposals , but it serves as an incentive to keep hitting the nail harder until it as much as possible on wood and get gradually that the contribution of our bit to achieve increasingly penetrate the minds of our fellow citizens.

What to see in Arco? How not to get lost in this huge creative proposal that Madrid become a benchmark in the international avant-garde art from 19 to 23 February ?

Luis Gordillo , Herminio , Mateo Maté, David Magan (shown sitting on the picture ) and Juan Lopez are five artists that can facilitate the assimilation of what the show will tell.

There are five schools, five ways of understanding life and art, five life trajectories and four different languages and generations. And at last , five different works each other, but which together pose a manual to decode Arco.

The five declared fortunate to be in Madrid quote " and living in the arts today, with which it is falling ."

Subsequently , attracted by the art of sculpting glass and in collaboration with the creator of modern perfumery François Coty , I designed the first artistic perfume bottle , a work that evokes the essence of the fragrance.

In 1920 , René Lalique became famous for his work made glass art deco style of the time.

The choice of subject was responding to political interests , as the Furies , eternally punished for defying the gods , symbolized the German princes who had rebelled against Charles V and whom he had defeated in 1547.

Last February we visited the exhibition that the Museo del Prado dedicated to " The Furies " .

An exhibition, sponsored by the Fundación Amigos del Museo del Prado, depicting the birth , evolution and decline of the theme of the Furies from its entry into the European art in the midsixteenth century to the late seventeenth century.

The exhibition includes twenty works, among which a drawing

All these works illustrate why the success of the Furies for 120 years , when the rulers of elected as political allegory and painters as an excellent vehicle to represent the hardest difficulty in the art, both in its formal aspect ( they were huge nude figures in implausible ) foreshortening as expressive as representing the epitome of pain.

The aim of the exhibition is to show the birth , evolution and decline of this theme in European art between 1550 and 1700 over twenty works of Italian artists , Flemish, Dutch and Spanish , which include the aforementioned Titian, Miguel angel, Cornelis van Haarlem , Rubens, Ribera , Salvator Rossa or Langhetti .

The Russian sculptor Alexander Archipenko (1887-1964) , pioneer of Cubist sculpture, lives in the memory of fans , especially those of his famous sculpture of multicolored glass circus " Medrano II " (1913-1914) , which reduced the human figure in abstract forms.

Current technology allows to build great walls of translucent glass or transparent to fully take advantage of natural light and reduce energy cost of lighting systems installed .

But you need to ask for their safety and how to respond if such massive failure , such as that caused by a shock wave , and how can this affect breakage people who are on site .

To try to analyze these aspects , German researchers Ernst- Mach Institute ( EMI ) have paid attention to this aspect in the construction of a new complex of buildings in San Francisco. In this city, like many others around the world is constantly changing , constantly buildings are demolished to build another in its place , giving way to new structures .

This city is developing a new complex of buildings, the first of which will be located where until recently the Rail Terminal San Francisco Transbay was placed , and will be a structure of five stories high with glass facade over an area twenty thousand square meters and park conservatory roof .

In a second phase a skyscraper will be built , and in order to find out if the glass structure would be able to withstand a bomb or other explosive , a firm of engineering Yorker commissioned a study on its safety to a research team from the Institute Fraunhofer High Speed Dynamics ( Ernst- Mach Institute, EMI ) , located in Efrin-
