Puntociego, muestra de videoarte en Puerto Rico

2011-12-22T09:03:00.001-08:00

PUNTOCIEGO, con la política en el ojo.
Muestra de trabajos de videoarte en torno a la política.

Con el generoso apoyo de la Galería 778 presentamos Puntociego

el 28 de diciembre de 2011 a las 8:00 pm,

una muestra de trabajos audiovisuales curada en Santiago de Chile por la agrupación Kinoki.

En una convocatoria internacional se invitó a artistas a presentar obra audiovisual en la cual se trabaje

el punto de contacto entre arte y política de manera amplia. Puntociego pretende mostrar un panorama

actual sobre el tema mediante un mosaico de cortos de video y sobre todo pretende generar un espacio de reflexión y diálogo.

En la selección final destacan los cortos de artistas como Pedro Chaskel, Pablo Salas, Patricio Guzmán,

Carlos Flores del Pino y Anders Rönnlund, este último artista sueco.

La premier tuvo lugar en el Museo de Artes Visuales de Santiago en noviembre de este año.

A Puerto Rico llega una selección de esta muestra para ser vista
en la Galería 778 el 28 de diciembre a las 8:00 pm.
**************************************************
Como adición especial, en Puerto Rico veremos piezas de videoarte de dos artistas locales:

Bomba y stones de Ozzie Forbes y la animación

MENUDA URBE de José "Quique" Rivera, que ha recibido numerosos reconocimientos y

ha sido presentada en festivales en Costa Rica, Nueva York y Canada.
***************************************************
Contaremos con la presencia del Dr. Walter Imilan, antropólogo doctorado en Alemania,

académico de la Universidad de Chile y miembro del equipo curatorial, quien hará una introducción

y estará disponible para dialogar con el público.

La galería estará abierta desde las 10 am, la presentación a la muestra de video comienza PUNTUAL a las 8 pm.
Galería 778 presenta actualmente CALEIDOSCOPIO, colectiva de pequeño formato que podrás visitar ese día.

El colectivo Kinoki, los organizadores de esta muestra, está conformado por los artistas Francisco Huichaqueo,

Entrevista a Lucía N Nieves Cortés, diseñadora y dueña de snou* Berlin:

Lucía Nieves: una joyita puertorriqueña en Berlín | El punto es…

www.elpuntoes.com

por Mariángel González.

El que me conoce bien sabe que soy una fanática del diseño, en particular del diseño industrial y del diseño de joyería. Siempre estoy investigando por el web sobre artistas independientes alrededor del mundo. Pero este artículo no se trata de mi amor por el diseño, se trata de un artista y un ser humano radiante que responde al nombre de Lucía Natalia Nieves Cortés. Arquitecto, diseñadora de joyería y guía turístico, Lucía es sin lugar a duda una joyita puertorriqueña en Berlín.

Nacida en el 1976 en San Juan, Lucía siempre ha sentido la necesidad de crear. Sus padres manifestaron este interés al matricularla desde pequeña en campamentos de verano de la Liga de Arte de San Juan. Luego estudió arquitectura en la Universidad de Puerto Rico y orfebrería y diseño de joyas en Staatliche Zeichenakademie en Hanau, Alemania. Ahora tiene su propia compañía de diseño llamada Snou* (por su apellido Nieves…get it?) en Berlín. Bajo estas líneas, los invito a que conozcan más sobre el mundo de Lucía.

¿Siempre supiste que querías ser arquitecto y orfebre?

En 1995 entré a estudiar arquitectura. Fue esencial para adquirir los fundamentos del diseño. Antes de terminar el bachillerato sentía que ese no era mi camino. La joyería me atraía desde la adolescencia. Era una ávida portadora y creadora. Hice mi último año de arquitectura en Guadalajara, México, nuevamente de intercambio. Allí aprendí los fundamentos de la orfebrería en un tallercito. Los que trabajaban allí eran gente humilde y fueron muy generosos conmigo, aprendí muchísimo. Después de arquitectura trabajé haciendo producción de diseño gráfico. Entre tanto empecé a hacer y vender mis primeras piezas. Hasta entonces, todo esto me parecía un hobby que me encantaba. Pero hubo un momento en que me dí cuenta en que quería hacer esto profesionalmente. Para eso había que aprender “como Dios manda”.

¿Porqué Alemania?

La decisión de venirme a Alemania en el 2003 fue muy rápida. Hubo cambios en mi vida que me impulsaron a dar el salto. Mis experiencias de intercambio también me ayudaron. Fue la mejor decisión que he tomado. El plan era venir, estudiar joyería, volver. Siempre digo: no sé si es que me quedé o si es que me he estado quedando. Ya llevo acá 7 años.

¿Qué te inspira en tu diseño?

El arte contemporáneo, el [movimiento de arte] Bauhaus, la naturaleza y la experimentación con los materiales.

¿Influencia(s) en tu trabajo? ¿Arquitectos? ¿Orfebres?

La escena de joyería contemporánea. Artistas como Otto Künzli, Jiro Kamata, Yuka Oyama, Marc Monzó.

Snou* se venía cocinando hace mucho rato, pero la fecha de nacimiento oficial es el 2009, un año después de terminar la educación como orfebre....

Lucía-Natalia Nieves Cortés, nacida en San Juan 1976, estudió arquitectura y ha dedicado una buena parte de su vida a descubrir el mundo y viajar. Holanda, México y Alemania son algunas de las paradas en su camino. Su pasión por la joyería se hizo evidente desde la adolescencia. Portar llamativas piezas de joyería, muchas de las cuales ella misma creaba, era una de sus marcas de reconocimiento. En muchos casos estas piezas eran objetos que no estaban pensados como joyas, pero que ella transformaba para ser portados sobre el cuerpo. „Siempre tuve la sensación de que los accesorios que se ofrecen en el mercado no responden estéticamente a lo que yo busco. Por eso siempre me gustó mucho hacer mis propias joyas. „ Estas piezas no pretendían ser símbolos de estatus sino contenedores de otros significados, quizá más ancestrales o emocionales, intervenciones de color, acentos sobre el cuerpo. En un pequeño taller de joyería en México comenzó, de manera informal, su educación como orfebre. Allí aprendió los rudimentos del oficio, mexican style. Tras terminar el bachillerato en la Facultad de arquitectura de la UPR, decidió que dentro de las ramas del diseño la joyería era su camino. Ese impulso la llevó en el 2003 a ingresar en la carrera de orfebrería de la Staatliche Zeichenakademie Hanau, Alemania. Esta escuela alemana especializada en joyería fue fundada en el 1772 y cuenta con prestigio a nivel internacional. La diseñadora reside actualmente en Berlín. Snou*, su marca de joyería, fue fundada oficialmente en el 2009. En su taller berlinés imagina, experimenta y fabrica piezas utilizando materiales poco usuales en el mundo de la joyería. Piezas únicas, en textiles, cuero, plata, plásticos; formas modernas y minimalistas; intervenciones de color. Todo fabricado a mano, con un altísimo estándar de calidad, allí mismo en su taller, lo cual le da la flexibilidad de adaptar cualquier pieza a los deseos y necesidades de sus clientes directos. SNOU* es expresión de feminidad y alegría de vivir.

A (very) brief description of how BRAILLE rings are made.

2011-08-04T08:08:00.001-07:00

The material is worked to a stripe and formed to a circle.

The circle is soldered closed.

A ring!

The rings are then marked, holes are drilled for each one of the points.

Short wires are fixed in each of the holes to make the high relief.

Voilá!
See them here in my ETSY shop

NEW! Ring pair "Love is blind" -Braille wedding bands, MADE TO ORDER

2011-08-04T05:23:00.003-07:00

"Love is blind", ironically because it can "see" beyond mere appearances, deep into where eyes cannot perceive.

With these, bride and groom exchange bands with their names depicted in the Braille alphabet.
The bands are hand worked in a high degree of precision and perfection, giving them a fresh and clean, modern style. 5mm wide bands. This listing is for sterling silver bands in bas-relief (the braille letters are made as holes, see first picture). For rings in high-relief (see the top ring on the second pic), view: http://www.etsy.com/listing/79072419/ring-pair-love-is-blind-high-relief .

Del "robo" póstumo del rostro de una poetisa

2011-03-03T13:57:00.001-08:00

Me ha pasado algo super curioso. En un viaje a la ciudad de Montevideo, leyendo el diario Uruguayo "La Republica" , me llamó la atención una imagen que creía conocer bien. Se trata del retrato de la poetisa Julia de Burgos (1914-1953), una de sus fotos más icónicas, donde la dama apoya su rostro sobre su graciosa mano y que recuerdo haber visto reproducido en gran cantidad de portadas de libros, además de souvenirs y artesanías, desde la t-shirt comprada en el Festival Claridad hasta el bultito en venta en Lares para la conmemoración del famoso "grito". Más aturdida quedé al ver el titular del artículo "Una poeta argentina en el Real de San Carlos" (La República, pág. 32 , Lunes 21 de febrero 2011, sección 2 ). ¡Qué,qué!! ¿Nuestra Julia? ¿Argentina? Leyendo u poco más el artículo noté que en ningún lugar aparecía el nombre de Julia, sino que el artículo trataba de la sí argentina Alfonsina Storni (1892-1938). ¡Que raro! Los periódicos uruguayos me habían parecido tan bien escritos e interesantes, si bien el manejo de las imágenes era un tanto pobre. ¿Cómo podían cometer tal error? De hecho mi compañero había hecho un comentario que al final dió en el clavo: es como si bajaran las imágenes del internet. En efecto una breve investigación en la web empezó apenas desenmarañar un misterio que dejo a medias por si alguien se interesa en seguirle la pista. Si uno "googlea" las imágenes bajo el nombre de Alfonsina Storni, encontrará que varios blogs y páginas web utilizan equivocadamente el antes descrito retrato de Julia de Burgos.

Aquí una lista:
http://noaformacion.blogspot.com/2010/04/gotas-culturales-alfonsina-storni.html?showComment=1299186591335#c8228935958328280317

http://daniel-danielliteratura.blogspot.com/2010/07/alfonsina-storni.html?showComment=1299187966432#c2604469336541505698

incluso una de origen alemán:
http://www.lyrikwelt.de/autoren/storni.htm

Lo interesante del asunto es que el error, según mi teoría, es una consecuencia específica de las peripecias del internet. Alguien en busca del rostro de Storni, debe haber dado con una de las muchas páginas donde se habla de ambas poetisas, quienes comparten una gran cantidad de paralelismos, y tomó una foto de de Burgos por el semblante de la Storni. Lo interesante de esta historia casi policial sería rastrear el momento en que se produce este error y reflexionar sobre cómo este tipo de traspiés en un mundo bombardeado por imágenes e informaciones que se cruzan, re-modela nuestro acervo cultural y reescribe involuntaria y erradamente la historia.

Vernissage                    Freitag    03.12.2010    18h

" Wenn etwas bricht, entstehen Geschichten über Dinge, die einmal waren."

Christine Schönau´s Schmuckserie entstand aus der Faszination einzelner Scherben.

Wenn man einmal auf sie aufmerksam geworden ist, entdeckt man sie überall. Auf Wegen, Feldern und sogar in Flüssen. Sie sind leuchtend weiß oder bunt gemustert, interessant geschwungen; mit Goldrand oder stark verwittert. Jede Scherbe ist anders und einzigartig.

Hebt man sie auf und hält sie in den Händen, stellt sich die Frage: Was war sie mal, wo gehörte sie hin und was war ihr Nutzen?
Die Erinnerung an ein Musters oder eine Form fügt die Scherbe wieder zusammen und lässt so eine eigene Geschichte entstehen.

z.B. die eines zerbrochenen Tellers- wieso ist er zerbrochen?

In Ihrer Kollektion setze Sie die verschiedenen Scherben zu einem neuen Ganzen zusammen und erzähle so eine eigene Geschichte, deren Interpretation dem Betrachter selbst überlassen bleibt.

Denn jede Erinnerung ist einzigartig.

Konzert und Vernissage
Freitag, 26. November 2010 um 20:00
Cafe Dritter Raum
Live in Concert: Tobias G. - "Mr. Universe Judas"

Der Liederbarde Tobias G. hat sehr viel Liebe zu geben, leider will sie bisher Keine so richtig haben. Warum wissen wir auch nicht. Er sieht gut aus, ist charmant, intelligent und so voller Gefühl. Herzzerreißend und todkomisch singt er über seine Erfahrungen mit dem wei...blichen Geschlecht und dem Leben im (All)gemeinen. Das Publikum wird zu Tränen gerührt und weiß nicht mal, ob es wegen der Komik oder Tragik in den Songs ist. Auf jeden Fall dürfte dieser Abend niemanden unberührt lassen – und wer weiß, vielleicht kann er das eine oder andere Frauenherz ganz für sich gewinnen…

Außerdem präsentieren wir kraftvolle, farbenfrohe Malereien, die den trüben Alltag auf magische Weise transzendieren:
„Der Pinsel der Liebe“, neue Bilder von Tobias Gürtler.

Eröffnung der Ausstellung
YOU ARE A STAR
(Foto Ausstellung im Rahmen von Monat der Fotografie)

Feierliche Eröffnung: 19 Uhr mit Volksküche

14 junge Fotografinnen und Videonauten zeigen Bilder von der Welt, die geeignet sind Realitätsbegriffe zurecht zu rücken und zu verändern.

Sie deuten plötzliche, persönliche und mediale Ereignisse an und geben Blicke in „das zu erforschende Unbekannte“ frei.

Künstler/innen
Alexandra Walther, Cecilia Helsing, Emma Jane Spain, Joanna O’Hanlon, Josie Macdonald, Julian Hand, Maria DePaula Vazquez, Michael Parker, Nick Kaplony, Paul Hynes Allen, Paul Kindersley, Sandra Ross, Shane Gilliver, William Mackrell

Ausstellungsleitung/organisation: Alexandra Walther, Dirk Steglich, Josie Macdonald

How to determine ring size, a quick and easy method

2010-08-19T03:59:00.001-07:00

Hi there, see the image for a quick, at-home method for determining the appropriate ring size which a person wears.

Warning: The best way is always to have your (or your loved one´s) finger measured by a professional jeweler.

But if you need to reach a quick approximate, this is a good way which usually yields good results. This is, a good option, when someone wants to surprise someone else with a ring as a gift, or for an engagement ring.

Good Luck!

Silver and its antibacterial properties

2010-08-12T08:28:00.001-07:00

excerpt taken from: http://silverinvestingnews.com/3447/use-of-silver-as-antibacterial-agent-on-the-rise.html

Silver’s Antibacterial Properties in Demand

....

For centuries, humans have used silver as an antibacterial agent for medicinal and food storage purposes. Now those historical uses can be expanded upon as scientists discover the numerous benefits of ionized silver nanoparticles including ease of production, ability to be fabricated into a wide array of products, and non-toxicity to humans and mammals in general.

Some of these uses are discussed by The Silver Institute’s senior technology consultant, Jeffrey Ellis: “With increasing uses of silver in many forms including sprays, gels and coatings, the use of silver as an antimicrobial agent continues to grow not only in hospitals and other patient treatment centers, but also in public areas such as restaurants, airports and institutional buildings.”

Other use for silver include as a coating for “wall coverings, sinks, flooring, climate control ducts and on bed rails. It is also now used on stethoscopes, pens, clipboards, catheters, endotracheal tubes and on other portable items. Silver is also embedded in textiles such as gowns, masks and wound care products.”

Silver in endotracheal tubes is especially important in the medical field as it helps to protect patients that require ventilator-assisted breathing against ventilator-associated pneumonia, an illness more common than hospitals would like to admit.

Ionic silver can also be found in the latest household cleaning supplies to hit the market. PURE Bioscience, which develops products for tackling global health problems like Staph, has developed a new product branded IV-7 Ultimate Germ Defense. The non-toxic disinfectant has garnered the lowest EPA toxicity rating and contains silver dihydrogen citrate-based antimicrobials (SDC).

An increasingly important use for silver is in the treatment of stored local water supplies as a safer alternative to chlorine, which can lead to the formation of many hazardous compounds. IV-7 Water Purifier, enough to purify 40 million gallons of water, was recently donated through Project Hope to Haiti.

Silver is also increasingly being used as a deterrent to microbial growth in food packaging, which is hardly a new practice. My grandmother can remember her mother placing a silver coin at the bottom of each glass milk bottle the milkman delivered to their home, which she thought was merely superstitious, but in reality her mother was on to something. Today, silver in food packaging is becoming more and more popular, particularly in Japan, and includes paperboard cartons, plastic wrap, and yes, milk containers.

Exhibition: SCHMUCK ALS ERINNERUNGSTRÄGER (jewellery as a vessel of memory: lost memories, recovered memories, borrowed memories.)

2010-06-24T12:38:00.001-07:00

On the occasion of the 48 Stunden Neukölln Festival and the 650 years of Rixdorf

SNOU: Atelier for Contemporary Jewellery is presenting an exhibition on the theme:

SCHMUCK ALS ERINNERUNGSTRÄGER

Jewellery as a vessel of memory: lost memories, recovered memories, borrowed memories.

In many cases Jewellery is the vessel of memory. Be it a family heirloom, a present from a dear friend or a loved one, a piece of jewellery can remind us of a family history, a loved person or a specific period in time. The question raised here is, to which extent are we the owners of a memory contained in these objects? Or, to go further, to which extent will we accept the invitation to reinvent ourselves and our histories through the symbols that we wear?

Three jewellery artists will be presenting their works:

Lucia Nieves (Puerto Rico)

Anna Kaufmann (Germany)

Sabine Schoska (Germany)

Lucia Nieves is presenting a limited series of objects which span the gap between Souvenir and Jewellery.

Anna Kaufmann presents a collection of recovered Vintage pieces.

Sabine Schoska presents a series of Jewellery which is the result of a process driven by moments frozen in time through snapshots.

These three young jewellery artists work on the frontier between jewellery, art and design. In their vision, the value of jewellery lies within the meaning and content which a piece communicates. In this way, the most uncommon materials acquire a contemporary value and a new aesthetic.

Exhibition opening:

Friday, June 25 at 7PM.

Saturday 26: 1PM to 9PM

Sunday 27: 4PM to 7PM.

Address:

Richardstr. 43-44

The Cadavre Exquis NO.5

2010-05-16T03:43:00.000-07:00

Click on the images to get a zoomed in view

Thanks to everyone who participated in this weeks Cadavre Exquis. As always we got an interesting story with mysterious charaters and a sweet honey ending. And THIS TIME there was a give-away. Those who commented partcipated for a SNOU gift certificate worth 20USD.

And the winner is......:

Kathryn from black bird letter press, whose fantastic

lady with scissors letterpress notebook

was featured in the list.

Congratulations Kathryn!

The cadavre exquis was widely used by surrealists as a way of entertainment and to develop creative abilities. Maybe you know this „game“ from your childhood. It is usually done on paper using text or drawings.

My CE lists are an „open“ version of the game. Each person writes one sentence, in the end the sentences add up to a story. The list is used as a source of inspiration (other comments are written between parenthesis...).

A weekend in Edinburgh

2010-05-14T03:10:00.000-07:00

When the plane landed the sun was shining intensly. Berlin had been grey for the past few days, and the weather report for Edinburgh didn´t promise better weather. And so, here I was, suprised by a flood of light and without my sunglasses. I took the "Airlink" bus to the Edinburgh´s city center ( Return ticket 6 GBP , aprox 30 mins to Waverly train station). The green landscape and the blue skies filled my eyes. A village of stone houses developed into a city during the trip which culminated with the magnificently delirious "skyline" of Edinburgh´s old city as seen from Prince´s street. Edinburgh was everything I did not expect. Beautiful and enigmatic at the same time. It constantly seemed to extend and abruptly end in front of my eyes. It even sometimes reminded me of the typical image of far west towns of Western films. It people were polite and good natured. Tourists like us abounded without becoming overwhelming. It ever changing topography fooled my sense of orientation. It gave the feeling of being small and yet we walked SO MUCH in the three days.

The rooms at the Dukes of Windsor Street hotel......................Kilts!!.........................The old castle

Accomodation at the Dukes of Windsor Street hotel was absolutely FANTASTIC. It is a small hotel with personal service, very tastefully furnished and well located. A walk down to the harbor and Leith is an must see, especially on sunny afternoons. Typical dishes are the very British fish and chips and the very Scottish Haggis. I recommend you to try both. Haggis is a sort of sausage made of pork lung and has a very peculiar taste. If you like liver you will probably like Haggis as well. We had wonderful fish and chips and Haggis at the Monster Mash Café in a relaxed student atmosphere. Fair prices and big portions.

Haggis And fish and chips with a Newcastle Brown Ale at the Monster Mash Café

Edinburgh is a paradise for second hand store lovers. Many organizations such as Oxfam have shops all around the city offering second hand clothing at very good prices. Most of it is not real vintage, but nevertheless I found some great stuff. On our walks though we stumbled across a real vintage Emporium. Armstrong´s is Edinburghs largest vintage clothing store. "Est 1840 Armstrongs has metamorphosed into a cornucopia of vintage and retro delights." Wow what a great coincidence. Wigs, jewelry, jackets, shoes, feather boas, just name it, they have it!

Gothic buildings everywhere..........................Armstrongs vintage emporium

The harbor..............................................If you are in Scottland:Scotch................more gothic churches

The Return of the Cadavre Exquis

2010-05-06T05:18:00.000-07:00

Finally! After a long, long pause!

The "cadavre exquis" ( English: Exquisite Corpse, Spanish: Cadaver Exquisito) was widely used by surrealists as a way of entertainment and to develop creative abilities. Maybe you know this „game“ from your childhood. It is usually done on paper using text or drawings.

And here is the resulting story for this week´s Cadavre, a story between a woman and a mysterious man, which takes place between Amsterdam, Budapest and Brooklyn , with an exciting open end which opens up the possiblities for so many other tales!!

Thanks to all of those who contributed to the story. The cadavre exquis says: until next time! (soon, real soon)...

Supplies in Berlin

2010-05-03T05:08:00.001-07:00

Today I went for a short shopping tour for supplies. I needed more violet yarn so I went to Fadeninsel on the Oranienstrasse 23 in Kreuzberg, and could not, of course resist buying new colors of wool!

New Wool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then I went to the Grüne Papeterie, a lovely shop on the Heinrichplatz. They have all sorts of special paper supplies, such as the envelopes which I always buy from them, made out of old recycled maps of Germany.

From Dung to Coffee Brew With No Aftertaste

The world’s most expensive coffee beans are found in the droppings of the civet, a catlike animal from Southeast Asia whose digestive tract produces a smooth brew.

BOUCHE À OREILLE: YINGMEI DUAN + VERENA KYSELKA at SAVVY CONTEMPORARY / 17.04.10 at 8.30pm

2010-04-17T15:38:00.001-07:00

SAVVY CONTEMPORARY, Richardstr. 43/44, Berlin-Neukölln
www.savvy-contemporary.com

Vernissage: 17.04.10, 8.30 p.m. (punctual)
Exhibition: 18.02.10 - 15.05.10
Opening hours: Thursday – Sunday, 4 – 8p.m.
The French expression „bouche à oreille“ can be translated
word-to-word as ‘mouth-to-ear’ but actually signifies an oral means
of communication, transmission of information, which is the oldest, most
economic and most intimate method of communication. The strength of the
expression gets almost lost in its English translation “word of
mouth” and gains a cloud of intimidation in its German translation
“Mundpropaganda”. This diversity in perception gives an interesting
inside of the conceptual and contextual background of this expression, which
might reveal a lot about social and political structures or structural
developments. This project invites Yingmei Duan and Verena Kyselka to deliberate on semantic
fields and contemporary foundations as well as structures of intimacy,
alienation, propaganda and related subjects under the umbrella of the French
expression „bouche à oreille“. Whereby, the expression
„bouche à oreille“ serves as a stepping stone for an artistic
discourse on some social and anthropological topics. By projecting perspectives
of a Chinese artist and a German artist, who have both lived under the realms
and constraints of a socialist system but have widely travelled, lived and
worked on several continents, the project aims at researching on this thematic
without geographical limits. While Mrs. Duan’s impulsive and perennial performance-pieces explore her
environment, human instincts and societal norms, Mrs. Kyselka’s
multi-media art pieces scrutinize the effects of heteronomy, dictatorship and
self-isolation on interpersonal relations from a socio-political point of view. In the course of the exhibition Yingmei Duan and Verena Kyselka will do several
performances and hold lectures on the topic of communication, especially with a
reference to the multifaceted Neukölln-society, as a case study. The vernissage will be opened on the 17th of April at 8.30 with a performance
of the artists! The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue!

Curator: Dr. Bonaventure S. B. Ndikung

A friend of mine, who makes wonderful music, talked to me about the Theremin, a quite quirky musical contraption patented by russian inventor Leon Theremin in 1928. See more info in Wikipedia. She is recording a piece today in which the instrument is used together with a harp. Success!

THIS WEEKEND Dec 4- Dec 6, Rixdorfer Weihnachtsmarkt

2009-12-03T01:27:00.001-08:00

The traditional Rixdorfer Christmas market will take place this weekend!
An event which is well known by Berliners of all other neigborhoods because it preserves a lot of the genuine, non-commercial , atmosphere of a traditional "Weihnachtsmarkt" (Christmas market) since 37 years.

The Richarplatz (Richard square), together with the Körnerpark, is one of the most beautiful hidden corners of Neukölln and the center of the Rixdorf also known as the Bohemian Village (Böhmisches Dorf) or Richardsdorf.

Founded in 1360 as a village of its own, the Rixdorf was considered the "biggest village outside Berlin" in 1869. Around 1907 it grew into a city which was then "swallowed" by Berlins rapid extension, and has become part of Berlins neighborhood of Neukölln.
Snou´s atelier @ "el nido" is just around the corner and will open its doors as well.

Opening times
Fr. Dec 4th 17:00 -21:00 Uhr
Sa. Dec 5th 14:00 -21:00 Uhr
Sun. Dec 6th 14:00 -20:00 Uhr

El nido is composed by SNoU, Anna Kaufmann and Vive Berlin tours

Das Bezirksamt Neukölln veranstaltet in diesem Jahr vom 04. bis 06. Dezember zum 37. Mal den Alt - Rixdorfer Weihnachtsmarkt am Richardplatz. Im Schein unzähliger Petroleumlichter unterstützen Vereine, Organisationen und Verbände die karitative Zielsetzung dieses Berlinweit einzigartigen Weihnachtsmarktes.

Anbieter von selbstgebasteltem Spielzeug und allerlei aus Holz, Metall und Keramik, Weihnachtsschmuck, Ölbilder, Schmuck, Kerzen, Honig, Marmelade, Bürsten, Besen, Glückwunschkarten finden sich zusammen, Kulinarisches von koreanischen Speisen über Rostbratwurst, kandierte Äpfel, Waffeln, Kuchen, gebrannte Mandeln, Zuckerwatte sowie Glühwein, Kinderpunsch, Kakao, Kaffee mit und ohne Alkohol, Honigmet, Rixdorfer Liköre und Schnäpse, Limonaden und vieles mehr werden boten.

Neben den zahlreichen Ständen wird es auch in diesem Jahr ein unterhaltendes Bühnenprogramm geben. Weitere Attraktionen wie Ponyreiten, die Kamele mit den drei Weisen aus dem Morgenland, die historische Schmiede und die Ausstellung bei Kutschen-Schöne begeistern die Besucher genau wie die historische Polizeitruppe. Auch der Weihnachtsmann mit seinen Engeln, der den Weihnachtsgedichten der Kinder lauscht und die Märchenhexe werden sicher einen Reiz für die kleinen Besucher bieten.

7 days in Berlin

2009-11-16T12:34:00.000-08:00

The project 7 Days is a work in progress, which is also an artwork. Each day, one artwork is added to the exhibition, and it is linked with the others within a creative dialog, so that the result can also be seen as a Gesamtkunstwerk.

The main subject is the 7 days of the creation of the world. Each artist develops his work based on the following concepts:

Day 1: Light and darkness

Day 2: Sky, water and horizon

Day 3: Earth and vegetation

Day 4: Stars, sun and moon

Day 5: Animals, sea and air

Day 6: Human being

Day 7: End of the Creation, rest

Walking theGrey area

2009-09-23T09:17:00.000-07:00

http://www.grayareasymposium.org/blog/

The Otro Diseno Foundation for Cultural Cooperation and Development, the agency Design Flux and Galeria La Refaccionaria, Mexico, are honored to present you our new joint project: Walking the Gray Area.

Walking the Gray Area is a collective exhibition curated by Valeria Siemelink and Andrea Wagner, that brings together 20 Latin American and 20 European jewellery makers and artists who ocationally work with jewellery as a medium, into a dialogue about jewellery, global mobility, contemporary identities and its personal and/or collective implications. The curators of Walking the Gray Area, have each selected 20 artists from their respective continents: Latin America and Europe. Each artist has a unique approach to jewellery: different perspectives of art and jewellery, differnt ideas, different interests, different materials and techniques, different countries. But all artists have one thing in common: like the curators themselves, they have experienced the phenomena of global mobility in one or another way: born in one place, lived, studied, worked in another one.

The artists have randomly paired: one Latin American artist has been coupled with one European artist. Each pair will start a dialogue, through a web blog that has been created for this purpose, in the ways they find interesting or relevant: they are able to exchange conversations, stories, pictures, images and even materials. The dialogue can be verbal, visual of both and will lead to the creation of one body ornament by artist.

We invite you to visit the blog, moderated by the Mexican art critic Jose Manuel Springer, which will walk you through the process of creating an exhibition from the scratch and allow you to interact with the artists and moderator.

The exhibition will be presented within the frame of the symposium Gray Area, Ist Encounter of Contemporary Jewellery between Latin America and Europe, to take place from April 12th to 16th in Mexico City. The opening date of the exhibition, at the fabulous Galeria La Refaccionaria, in Mexico City's historic Centre will be announced in the following months.

We hope that you will enjoy the experience and that you will walk along with us towards this amazing exhibition. Visit the Walking the Gray Area Blog at:

Otro Diseno Foundation for Cultural Cooperation and Development, la agencia Design Flux y Galeria La Refaccionaria, Mexico, tienen el placer de presentar su nuevo proyecto de cooperacion: Walking the Gray Area.

Walking the Gray Area es una exposicion colectiva, curada por Valeria Siemelink y Andrea Wagner, que pone en contacto a 20 artistas y joyeros latinoamericanos y 20 europeos para desarrollar un dialogo sobre joyeria, mobilidad global, indentidades contemporaneas y sus implicaciones tanto colectivas como personales. Cada una de las curadoras de la muestra han seleccionado 20 artistas de sus respectivos continentes: America Latina y Europa. Cada artista tiene un acercamiento muy particular con la joyeria: diferentes perspectivas, diferentes ideas, diferentes intereses, diferentes tecnicas y materiales, diferentes paises. Pero todos estos artistas tienen algo en comun: al igual que las curadoras mismas, todos han experimentado, de una u otra manera, el fenomeno creciente de la mobilidad global: nacidos en un lugar, viviendo, estudiando o trabajando en otro.

Los artistas han sido organizados en parejas creadas al azar: un artista latinoamericano ha sido emparejado con un europeo. Cada pareja iniciara un dialogo, a traves de un blog que ha sido creado con este proposito, de la manera que ellos decidan: a traves del intercambio de textos, imagenes, fotografias, videos e incluso materiales. El dialogo puede llevarse a cabo de manera verbal o visual y resultara en la creacion de un ornamento elaborado por cada uno de los 40 artistas participantes.

Estan coordialmente invitados a visitar este blog, moderado por el critico mexicano Jose Manuel Springer y acompanarnos en el proceso de creacion de una exhibicion e interactuar con los artistas y el moderador.

La exhibicion Walking the Gray Area sera presentada dentro del marco del simposio Area Gris, Ier encunetro de Joyeria Contemporanea entre America Latina y Europa, que se llavara a cabo del 12 al 16 de abril del 2010 en la Ciudad de Mexico. En los meses siguientes les informaremos la fecha exacta de la inauguracion, que tendra lugar en la Galeria La Refacciconaria, en el centro historico de la Ciudad de Mexico.

Esperamos que disfruten la experiencia y que nos acompanen durante el desarrollo the esta fascinante exhibicion. Son bienvenidos a visitar el Blog Walking the Gray Area en:

Cadavre Exquis 2

2009-05-31T16:10:00.000-07:00

This is the second time that I make this small "experiment", this time achieving amazing results. It might seem too bad that there wasn´t enough space to end this story, BUT I think the open end gives each one of us a chance to imagine what happened next. Please do comment with your suggestions!
I wish to thank all of those who participated, putting heart, soul and creativity into your contribution. and do not worry, The Cadavre Exquis will most surely visit again soon, bringing new adventures for our imagination!!!

Wondering why the images are soooo small ? Click on them to zoom in to a readable size!

Then I wrote something approximately like :
She turns around and sees him as well. Suddenly a spark transports her memory to another place. She remembers a tree in the distance, a butterfly in the air, happy times...

I am sorry to say that I couldn´t record the last comment. But then again this story is never over! Please comment and thanks!

Cadavre Exquis

2009-05-23T05:46:00.001-07:00

A lot of you have probably played "cadavre exquis" ( exquisite corpse or cadaver exquisito) . With images or sentences, you would pass around a folded paper where you could only see the contribution of the last participant based on which you could make your own contribution. In the end you would get a quite funny and absurd story or picture.
I made the experiment of making an open cadavre exquis using a treasury list. The treasury format is optimal. The images of the list help to give some inspiration, the comment thread has the same qualities of the traditional paper, except it is open , everyone can read all the previous contributions. And nevetheless some magical things happen. Just read:

Thank you all for putting your bit of creativity into this wonderful story!!

Mod3rnart´s istudio: a peek into the workshops of creative people

2009-05-14T10:20:00.000-07:00

I was invited to participate in a Blog project called istudio created by Mod3rnart.

Its creator describes the origin to the idea: "...its birth came from me being interested in where (studio/workshop) artists create their pieces. I want to create a sort of canvas of pictures from all over the world."

Mod3rnart are two young artists from Corfu, Greece (!) whom enjoy making beautiful items and sharing them with the world, as they say themselves.

So I took a look at istudio and loved it!!!

It is like having a key to the workshop of artists, no matter how far apart they are. And even if it is just a small peek, you know that an image speaks more than a thousand words.

It does satisfy the little voyeur in me.
I love getting a peek behind "the curtains" and into the workshops. Usually I think, wow! how can they keep their work spaces so tidy!!!! and organized!!!! did they clean up for the picture??did they always hve such wonderful organized spaces? Were they born with it?!!! (LOVED the before and after picture of Nadine Bozek).

It just gives you a more human idea of the people and places behind a "product",
it adds to its story and to its aura in a Walter Benjamin sort of way.

When you see a workshop you see more clearly that what comes out of this place was made by a person, lovingly sitting in front of a worktable, making decisions with eye and heart.

And you realize how different this is than having something that came out of a maschine for the thousandth time. And finally you come to the difference between a product and a piece, an item and a work of art! And, of course, it inspires me to be more organized in the future!!!

The story of stuff

2009-05-13T11:15:00.000-07:00

What is the Story of Stuff?

From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever

Zimmerhof is a yearly Reunion of Jewelry makers from all around the world. Three days of wonderful conferences and exchange in a relaxed atmosphere.

This year´s Zimmerhof has "Full of Facets" as Theme. Here the information from the organizers (Herman Hermsen & Sofia Beilharz/ Phylicia Gilijamse/ Maryvonne Wellen):

—With the theme “Full of Facets“ we would like to address to jewellery in all its diversity and richness. The symposium will be characterized by lectures from renomated jewellery artists and well-known designers who are specialized in contemporary jewellery and/or serie-design. Futhermore the program will contain theoretical
controversies and reflections.
New materials, innovative concepts and techniques like 3D modelling, rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing are going to be brought forward though presenting divers projects on this subject. Confrontations, different points of view to jewellery and new interpretations as well as definitions of the term jewellery will be discussed. We will focus on jewellery as an important, independent communication medium at the intersection with contemporary art, fashion and product design.
The program is internationally orientated with speakers from for example; Spain, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Austria, thereby alumni students from academies though Europe will lecture about their works. According to tradition there will be a possibility for the visitors to present their own works on the jewellery table.
As usual the Zimmerhof Symposium is a place for international encounter, exchange of knowledge, communication, contact and not at least for partying together!

From the Caribbean to the old continent.

Five years ago I "exiled" myself to Germany, with the objective of learning the age old profession of manipulating metals and fire. No, not alchemy, but its sister, goldsmithing.

People always ask if I only work with gold, because of the name goldsthmith. Unfortunately, I say, my business has yet to grow for me to work in gold that often. But it does not matter for a goldsmith is not a person who works exclusively in gold, but one who works almost exclusively making jewelry as opposed to silversmiths, whose work is to create objects of bigger scale, such as cups, chalices, tea sets, candle holders, etc... and whose techniques and tools are quite different to those used by goldsmiths.

In fact, I have a lot of JOY from working with materials outside the traditional scope of goldsmithing and combining them in the most unorthodox ways in order to achieve objects which represent my aesthetic vision.

What I did last sunday: Intro intim at Maria am Ostbahnhof
