<div style="color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12.0959997177124px;">
A study by Rebecca Chamberlain from KU Leuven, Belgium has found that artists have structurally different brains, compared with non-artists. Well, that explains a lot! I'm sure many of us have suspected as much, but now science is beginning to look into the matter and this small study has revealed some surprising details that distinguish the creative brain. Using a brain scanning method called voxel-based morphometry, researchers peered into the brains of 21 art students and 23 non-artists. What they found was that the artist group had significantly more gray matter in a region of the brain involved in visual imagery.</div>

<span style="color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12.0959997177124px;">Dr. Chamberlain also asked the participants to complete drawing tasks. Those better at </span></span><a href="http://www.artistdaily.com/learn-how-to-draw-lessons/" style="color: #8a2003; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12.0959997177124px; text-decoration: none;">drawing</a><span style="color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 12.0959997177124px;"> had increased gray and white matter in the cerebellum and in the supplementary motor area, involved in fine motor control. Related studies performed with creative persons in other fields (such as music) also suggests enhanced processing in these areas.</span></span><div style="color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12.0959997177124px;">
</div>
<div style="color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12.0959997177124px;">
"It falls into line with evidence that focus of expertise really does change the brain. The brain is incredibly flexible in response to training and there are huge individual differences that we are only beginning to tap into," reports Dr. Chamberlain. This sounds to us like reinforcement of the 10,000 hour rule. Practice makes perfect perhaps because the brain is rewired to constantly get better at it while we work. Talent in art is useful, but persistence, especially in developing a skill, counts for more. Combine the two and eventually a great artist emerges from the years of hard brain-training effort.</div>
<div style="color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Helvetica; font-size: 12.0959997177124px;">
Ellen Winner of Boston College, who was not involved in the study, said that this study should help "to put to rest the facile claims that artists use 'the right side of their brain' given that increased gray and white matter were found in the art group in both left and right structures of the brain." What would really nail all the data down would be a large-scale prospective study of the creative vs. non-creative brain. In the meantime, it is interesting to remember all the hours we spent with a pencil in our hands as we were growing up. Who knew then that we were not just having fun, but shaping our very future abilities in the process?</div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Esto valida con creces el esfuerzo que hacemos desde hace 9 años con nuestro concurso anual de dibujo, que este año se celebrará el sábado próximo, 28 de marzo. Sabemos que el dibujo es el punto de partida de un proceso que hace crecer la creatividad y, por lo tanto, la productividad. No dudemos que es tiempo MUY BIEN EMPLEADO!!!</span></div>

A más dinero, más premios y más publicidad... Pues no les vamos a negar que se nos ha hecho difícil, situación que responde al estado económico...y emocional...en que se encuentra nuestra Isla. Pero en esos momentos difíciles, estas actividades, que fomentan el arte y dan ánimo a los jóvenes y los "encubiertos"(los aficionados al arte que no lo ejecutan con fines de lucro) son las que debemos sostener, para no olvidarnos que "no sólo de pan vive el hombre" y que el ser humano lleva a cabo gestorías cuya sinrazón es precisamente su valor.</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the time of year when we go around knocking on doors to get sponsors for our annual drawing contest. With more money, we can give better prizes and make more publicity. Well, we can't deny that this year it has been harder than any other, responding to the state of the economy, and the emotional turmoil that this causes... But it is precisely in times such as this when activities that promote art and give positive reinforcement to young people and art äficionados"(artists that don't call themselves that because they don't do it for profit) are important. They remind us that "man does not live on bread alone" and that, as humans, we are capable of doing "senseless" things whose very value is their impracticality.</span><br />

Ayer fué "peces"... y hoy esto son.................."insectos"?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Claro que NO...estos son "juguetes", inventivas criaturas nunca antes vistas...que nos sorprenden y nos hacen regresar al mundo de la imaginación infantil. Yo debo confesar que nunca fuí muy "valiente" en cuanto a crear cosas que los no artistas gustan de llamar absurdas. Pero esta exhibición "se bota" precisamente en ese sentido. Aquí casi se pierde de vista el mundo de las referencias animales y se pasa al universo paralelo de lo NUNCA VISTO. Disfrútenlo y no dejen pasar la oportunidad de "adoptar"una de estas criaturas...ya yo escogí...</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yesterday I posted a picture of what looked "like" fishes... and these could perhaps be "confused" for insects..............NO WAY! This are creatures that send us back to childhood imagination. I must confess that I was never very brave when it came to making things that could be called "absurd"...but that is precisely what this show does. It leaves behind the animal references of the world we know and transports us to a reality beyond.</span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Come enjoy the experience and don't miss the opportunity of "adopting" one of this marvelous creatures...I already chose ...</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cada vez que veo esta foto me echo a reir. El gesto, la mirada y la "lengua por fuera"... No deja de asombrarme lo creativo del tratamiento de las partes que la componen. Aquí no hay reglas ni inhibiciones. Hiram Rosado está en completo control de su creatividad. Y ésta es una de más de 30 figuras que presenta en la exhibición <i>JUGUETEANDO, </i> cuya apertura será el próximo jueves 5 de marzo en la galería "The Art Room"(C<i>alle Navarro #53 en Hato Rey).</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tras más de 26 años como maestro de cerámica, no es difícil entender que estas figuras son el resultado de su búsqueda de una forma de comunicar a sus alumnos, en especial a los niños, que no debemos poner límites a nuestra imaginación y que el barro está allí para hacer "lo que tu quieras". Como él mismo dice: "los niños me hicieron hacerlo..."</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each time I look at this picture I LOL. The expression of that face, the tongue sticking out... I am astonished at the extreme creativity in the handling of the "parts". There are no inhibitions here. Hiram Rosado is in complete control of his creativity. This is one of more than 30 sculptures he is presenting in the show titled "<i>PLAYING...", </i>that will open at "The Art Room"</span><br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After more than 26 years as a ceramics teacher, it is easy to understand that this figures came about as a way to communicate to his students, specially the children, that there should be no limit to the imagination and that the clay is there so you can do "whatever you want". The way he puts it: "The children made me do it..."</span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, here it is, typo and all (It says dijubo, instead of dibujo), the first announcement of our yearly drawing contest. Sponsored by PILOT PENS, the Municipio Autónomo de Caguas and, hopefully a few others, the contest is meant to encourage those that draw in their notebooks but don't feel they are "artists"... Everybody knows at least one of those, the flowers that bloom in the desert and waste their perfume and their beauty, unseen. This year, with a Grand Price of $500 cash, we hope to attract many more "aficionados", ages 12 to 112. So, please, spread the word and tell them to go to our Facebook page (Fusion Isleña) and join us there, and at the Paseo de las Artes on March 21st.

<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bueno, aquí está, con todo y error tipográfico (dijubo), el anuncio de avanzada de nuestro concurso anual de dibujo. Como siempre, PILOT PENS y el Municipio Autónomo de Caguas se unen para apoyar a los que dibujan incesantemente en sus libretas y no se reconocen como los ärtistas"que son. Esos son los que "florecen"en el desierto, sin que nadie los vea...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Este año, un Gran Premio de $500 atraerá a muchos más aficionados, entre las edades de 12 y 112 años. Si conoces alguno, y todos conocemos a alguien "que dibuja", pása la voz y únete a nosotros en nuestra página de Facebook para más detalles. El concurso es en el Paseo de las Artes el 21 de marzo y aún seguimos trabajando para que hayan más sorpresas...</span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few days ago a young artist (she could be my daughter) "challenged" me to post a picture of my art for five days in a row on Facebook and to challenge one other artist each day to do the same. Well, I failed miserably, because I don't get to my computer every day, so a few days went by between artworks #2 and #3, which I just posted today. It is a generational thing... But , non the less, it is a great idea. It made me think of the pieces I'm most proud of and it got me to send them "out there" into the web. So, thanks, Linnette Vázquez Polanco and keep up </span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hace unos días, una artista joven, (que podría ser hija mía) me retó a que pusiera en FACEBOOK, durante 5 días consecutivos, una obra mía y que retara cada día a otro artista a hacer lo mismo. Bueno, pues fallé porque durante varios días ni siquiera llegué a trabajar en la computadora, así es que pasaron varios días entre el día #2 y el día #3, que apenas acabo de "postear". Es una cuestión generqacional..., pero una gran idea. Me hizo pensar en las obras de las que estoy más orgullosa y ënviarlas a la red". Gracias Linnette Vázquez Polanco y sigue p'alante con éxito!!!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week we are getting ready for the MAKER FAIR, to be held at the c3tec school in Caguas this coming Saturday. </span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It promises to be a great place in which to showcase the idea that artists are MAKERS, in the best sense of the word. We also want to put out there the belief that by associating we can accomplish greater things. Fusión Isleña, a worker-owned corporation, is proof of this. We are on our 10th year and we have </span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">been showing to the world that there is more to creativity in Puerto Rico than just traditional crafts. (Our drawing contest is also on its 9th year.) </span><i style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Makers</i><span style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> are people who turn ideas into reality, whether they use technology or not. We are looking forward to sharing with the other makers, and with the public the ART of "the idea come true"!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Esta semana nos estamos preparando para participar en el MAKER FAIR que se llevará a cabo este sábado en el colegio c3tec de Caguas. Promete ser una gran activida y un magnífico lugar donde presentar la idea de que los artistas son MAKERS (PRODUCTORES), en el mejor sentido de la palabra. También queremos insistir en que asociándonos podemos lograr más. Fusión Isleña, corporación propiedad de trabajadores, es prueba de esto. Estamos en nuestro 10mo año de demostrar que en PR hay excelentes artistas, además de artesanos. (Nuestro concurso de dibujo también está en su 9no año.)

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Conocimos a René Castillo primeramente como fotógrafo. Hemos exhibido en la galería piezas suyas de fotografía desde hace tiempo y también alguno que otro cuadro. Ahora nos ha traído 10 nuevos dibujos y pinturas en papel, de mediano formato que nos ponen a "disfrutar" de la riqueza de los colores y las formas. Con títulos sugestivos, son una forma excelente de introducir en nuestro ambiente arte original y emotivo. Con un buen "matting" y marco, llenan una pared. Sin invertir una fortuna puedes convivir con arte "de verdad". Como digo yo a los visitantes del MAPR, que me preguntan como juzgar una obra: "Si no te cansas de mirarla........."</span></div>

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">René Castillo is first and foremost a photographer. We have had his work in our gallery for a long time, and also an occasional painting. Now he has brought us 10 new drawings and paintings done in paper, in medium format, that bring us the enjoyment of "form and color" gloriously. With suggestive titles, they are an excellent way of introducing into our space the enrichment of living with original pieces. With a good matting and frame, they fill the wall with movement and emotion. As I always say to visitors at the MAPR, when asked about judging the worthiness of a piece to purchase: " If you want to keep looking at it..........."</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nuevo año!! Felicidades a todos!!! Y nosotros aquí vamos de nuevo porque tan pronto regresamos de nuestras "forzadas" vacaciones (el Centro de Bellas Artes cierra hasta Reyes) le metemos mano a nuestro certamen anual de dibujo: <i>BOLIGRÁFICO(r)</i>. Este año se celebra por 9na vez y ya estamos buscando auspiciadores y diseñando el afiche. A más auspiciadores , más publicidad y más y mejores premios. Con una donación para un Gran Premio de $500, esperamos atraer a artistas (no profesionales) de todas las edades y ver una calidad de dibujos que supere, si es posible, a las maravillas que hemos visto hasta ahora. Fecha y detalles vienen pronto.</span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New year! Best wishes to everyone!!! And here we go again, because as soon as we came back from our "forced" vacations (Bellas Artes de Caguas closes until 3Kings), we begin working on our yearly drawing contest:<i> BOLIGRÁFICO(r)</i>. This year is the 9th of the contest, and we are already searching for sponsors. More sponsors means more publicity and better prices. With a donation for a Grand Price of $500 cash, we hope to attract amateur artists of all ages and see them produce drawings that will astonish us.

Desde el pasado jueves, tenemos en la galería una nueva colección de bultos y carteras, diseñados por Héctor Quiñones, un diseñador puertorriqueño que utiliza telas y accesorios "vintage" para crear piezas únicas, originales y de gran calidad. </div>
<div style="color: #cc0000; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #cc0000; text-align: left;">
Al darle esta oportunidad a artistas que crean líneas en pequeña escala, hacemos un esfuerzo por que crezca el número de "creadores" que pueden vivir de su obra. Ellos están deseosos de trabajar más, y tienen un caudal ilimitado de ideas...</div>
<div style="color: #cc0000; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #cc0000; text-align: left;">
Lo que falta son los clientes, que aprecien sus piezas y su labor. En estas "fiestas" en que lo más fácil es ir al "mall" y comprar lo primero que vemos, recordemos que las personas especiales de nuestra lista (madres, hijas, hermanas, hermanos, amigos,...etc) merecen que busquemos para ellos algo ESPECIAL!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">Since last thursday, we have at Fusión Isleña a line of bags and purses designed and created by Héctor Quiñones, a puertorrican who uses "vintage" fabrics and accessories for very unique and original pieces.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">By giving artists that create small collections the opportunity to show their work, we are helping them become successful "creators". They just want to work, and have limitless ideas...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #274e13;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #274e13;">But they need clients to purchase their pieces... In this "season" when we go to the mall and purchase the first thing we see, we should consider these other alternative: the special people in our list (mothers, daughters, sisters, brothers, friends...etc) deserve that we take the trouble to search for something just as SPECIAL!!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Queridos amigos: La semana pasada la farmacia del pueblo de Caguas me cobró $19.99 por un producto que en Walgreens pagué durante meses a $55.00! Las farmacias locales, así como las ferreterías independientes son ejemplos de negocios que te dan mejores alternativas (no tienes que comprar una libra de clavos cuando sólo necesitas una docena...) y a precios competitivos.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hoy es SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY, el día que señalamos para recordar que los pequeños negocios son los que nos dan acceso a variedad y servicio personalizado...las grandes empresas limitan nuestras alternativas para lograr mayor márgen de ganancias. Además, el $ que se gasta en esos negocios sale instantaneamente de PR, mientras que el de los negocios locales se queda AQUÍ.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Por favor, tengan en cuenta esas cosas al hacer sus compras. Es otra manera de "hacer patria"sin involucrar la política... </span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear Friends: Last week I bought at the Caguas town center's drugstore a product for $19.99 that I had been buying at Walgreen's for months and that cost me $55.00 there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Local drugstores, like local hardware stores (where you can buy the nails that you need, instead of having to buy a pound), provide us with more choices and personalized attention, while Big Business does the opposite, to maximize their profits. Besides, what you spend there leaves PR immediately, while in the local stores the profits stay HERE.</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After many months of planning and painting, and a lot of hard work, our friend and admired Caguas artist, <i>GLORIA BOSA OSORIO</i> is ready to show her latest body of work: this exhibition, called <u>"Horses and More Horses", </u> because it really couldn't be called anything else. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The plethora of equine images in her mind has finally made itself</span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> come forth, and canvas after canvas is now populated with these animals, prancing, running, and interacting, in all sorts of interpretations.</span><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Being as brave as she is when faced with so many ways of expression, we get to enjoy, and maybe take home, images that appeal to to the viewers for different reasons. No doubt that horse lovers will be touched, surprised and pleased.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We hope you'll be able to join us!!!</span><br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Después de muchos meses de planes y pintura y mucho árduo trabajo, nuestra amiga y admirada artista de Caguas,<i> GLORIA BOSA OSORIO,</i> está lista finalmente para dejarnos ver su reciente cuerpo de trabajo en esta exhibición titulada <u>"Caballos y Más Caballos", </u>que realmente no podía llamarse de ninguna otra manera.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Un caudal de imágenes equinas escaparon por fin de su mente y fueron a habitar en lienzo trás lienzo, pastando, corriendo, jugueteando, en toda clase de interpretaciones. Con característica valentía, la artista se enfrenta a sus variadas manifestaciones y nosotros las observamos y hasta quizás nos llevemos con nosotros aquellas con las que nos identifiquemos de manera especial. Para los amantes de los caballos será sin duda una gran experiencia.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Les esperamos!</span><br />

<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Créanlo o no, ese es el título de la exhibición que comienza la próxima semana en Limner Gallery, en Hudson NY. Contestándo a un "open call" de las exhibiciones mensuales de esta "vieja" galería que se mudó de la ciudad de NY a Hudson a partir de los sucesos de 9/11, Hiram Rosado, miembro y presidente de Fusión Isleña, se decidió a enviar su pieza "<i>Cristo o Quijote" ...</i> por correo! Cuando supo que era uno de los 28 artistas escogidos, se enfrentó a la "angustia de la separación" que desgraciadamente es inevitable cuando mandamos piezas fuera de este país que está rodeado de agua por todas partes... Los artistas "isleños" encuentran su mercado encerrado ya que la transportación de las piezas, sobre todo las grandes y pesadas, es riesgoso y caro. </span><div>

<div>
<span style="color: #0c343d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ayudar a los artistas que hacen su obra en PR a acceder a otros mercados siempre fué una de las metas de Fusión Isleña. La competencia entre artistas para echar su obra al mundo es intensa pero exhilarante. Nuestra obra merece ser vista, Quién dijo miedo, señores?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Believe it or not, that is the title of the monthly show that begins next week at Limner Gallery, in Hudson NY. This öld"gallery moved from Manhattan to Hudson after traumatic 9/11. By answering an open call for works that fit that title, member and president of Fusión Isleña, Hiram Rosado, had to make up his mind to send this ceramic piece called <i>Christ or Quixote?...</i>BY MAIL! After being among the 28 artists chosen, he had to face the "separation anxiety" which is inevitable for artists that have to send pieces away from this land, surrounded by water... Island artists see their market severely limited because transportation for their pieces is both expensive and risky.</span></span></div>

The competition is tough and the results uncertain but the work deserves to be seen. AVANTI!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">...el maravilloso concierto que dió la Orquesta Sinfónica de PR en el Centro de Bellas Artes de Caguas el pasado sábado, en recordación y homenaje al fenecido Alcalde William Miranda Marín. Todavía no nos recuperamos de su muy lamentada desaparición y siempre honraremos su memoria. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fusión Isleña "vino a parar a Caguas" por gestión directa y personal suya. Cuando fundamos nuestra Corporación Especial Propiedad de Trabajadores, la número 100 en PR, alquilamos un espacio en el Centro para montar una exhibición y presentarnos a la prensa como la única PT en Puerto Rico compuesta por artistas. Tuvimos el honor de que él estuviera presente en la apertura y, quedando encantado con nuestra oferta, nos dijera estas palabras: :<i> "Yo quiero que ustedes se queden en Caguas". </i>De primera intención nos invitó a quedarnos en ese local y luego, cuando nos mudamos frente a la boletería, nos siguió auspiciando. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Si tuvieramos una peseta por cada persona que entra y se queda maravillado por la calidad de nuestra oferta... !!! Willie fue cliente nuestro. Necesitamos que nuestro público tenga la visión que tuvo él: APOYEMOS A LOS ARTISTAS QUE PRODUCEN EN PUERTO RICO! ELLOS SON PARTE IMPORTANTE DE LA ECONOMÏA LOCAL.</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fusión Isleña put down it's "roots" in Caguas because of his vision and personal invitation. When we founded a Corporación Especial, Propiedad de Trabajadores (Special Worker-owned Corporation), the 100th in PR and the only one by artists, we rented a space in Bellas Artes de Caguas so that we could present our company to the press. We had the honor of receiving his visit on the night of the opening of our exhibition and, being impressed by the quality of what he was seeing, he said to us: <i> "I want you to stay in Caguas."</i> Fom that first "home" we moved to the space in front of the ticket office, still with his support.</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If we only had a quarter for each time someone admires our art offer!!! Willie was also our client, and that is precisely what we need, IN ORDER TO KEEP HELPING THE ARTISTS WHO STAY AND PRODUCE IN PUERTO RICO! WE ARE PART OF THE ECONOMY !!!</span><br />

Congreso de Sostenibilidad, subtitulado <i>Cultura y Agricultura: Un modelo de producción sostenible para el desarrollo agrícola y cultural de Puerto Rico.</i> La Sra. Ivonne Class (productora de espectáculos) nos habló de como hay cosas típicas de PR, como la "salsa" que pueden ser desarrolladas para producir ganáncias sólidas. La Dra Lilliana Collado (Dir. ICP) nos habló de proyectos que el ICP está desarrollando para la promoción de turismo cultural, en especial de una "Ruta Taína" que se está fraguando, y la Sra. Ediltrudis Pichardo (Viceministra de Cultura de la Rep. Dom.) nos describió lo que se está ya llevando a cabo a este fin en la República Dominicana. El mensaje aglutinador de las tres ponencias fué: QUEDA MUCHO POR HACER. Estamos entusiasmados! Por la tarde los panelistas hablaron ya en concreto de la Agricultura y de todo el crecimiento que ES NECESARIO en este renglón.</span><br />

Dra. Lilliana Collado (ICP) recounted things that the PR Institute is doing to promote cultural tourism, in particular a "Taino Trail" that is in the works, and Mrs. Ediltrudis Pichardo, Viceminister of Culture of the Dominican Republic told of things that are already being done to this effect in that sister country. The overall message was THERE IS A LOT TO BE DONE. We are enthusiastic about that message. In the afternoon , panelists talked about parallel efforts in agricultural development that are DIRELY NEEDED. We must move forward and become more self sufficient.</span></span>Fusion Islena PThttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09020803248252269881noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245126244242792005.post-33553448824304561432014-09-16T07:42:00.000-07:002014-09-16T07:42:04.930-07:00Estuvimos en...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Si no han oído de la Incubadora, vale la pena investigar. Es una gestión única porque su propósito es el establecimiento de empresas creativas en 8 renglones: video juegos, artes gráficas, cinematografía y televisión, neo-artesanías, diseño industrial, música, diseño de moda y turismo cultural. El RUM aportará apoyo intelectual y sus laboratorios , y el Municipio les facilitará una sede desde donde operar. Es una visión nueva de como la colaboración es fuente de progreso y todos se benefician. Menos mal que alguien como Silvia le ha metido el hombro a un proyecto en bien del talento de PR. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im6-ExS6NBo">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im6-ExS6NBo</a></span><br />

If you haven't heard about this project, it is well worth your time.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Incubadora is an effort to aid artists in the start of 8 different creative industries: video games, graphic arts, film and TV, contemporary crafts, industrial design, music, fashion design,and cultural tourism.The RUM will provide their laboratories and intellectual support, and the Municipality will give them a place to start. It is a new way of collaborating for the good of our future... We need more people like Silvia, thinking big and aiding to bring forth our many talents. </span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last Wednesday I had the opportunity of sitting in on a talk about conservation of contemporary art given by professors Chakira Santiago and Irene Esteves at the MAPR. This rather shocking photograph shows one of the works they mentioned. While Ms Santiago gave us a very organized and useful chunk of information about the things to be considered when you are in charge of a valuable work of art, Ms Esteves addressed us as artists and challenged us to think about materials and the "future" of our art. As Hiram often says, "artists work for history", so it seems that we should want our pieces to survive... As a commentary, I suggested that contemporary art is counting on photography (still and motion). to be the real repository of our works. We know that countless photographs (specially from cell phones) are going to be taken and we trust that at least a few "official ones" will save our work forever. Still, the disappearance of the work itself might create a void, that can not be filled by images... </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Contemporary art incorporates, not only perishable materials, but also materials whose longevity is still unknown. It happened to me with my first rope sculptures (marimercebollero.com) because I used a glue that years latter turned brittle and unstable. I solved the problem by going back to sewing the fabric...the tried and true old way of creating with textiles... </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you say? Is creating with unstable materials irresponsible or just the way of the future?</span><br />

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">El pasado miércoles tuve la oportunidad de escuchar una charla sobre </span><span style="color: #8e7cc3; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">s</span><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">la conservación de obras de arte contemporáneas dictada por las profesoras Chakira Santiago e Irene esteves en el MAPR. Esta foto bastante "llamativa" muestra una de las obras problemáticas que mencionaron. Ms. Santiago nos proveyó una gran cantidad de información sobre la preservación de las obras de las que seamos responsables y Ms Esteves se dirigió a nosotros como artistas, presentes y futuros, y nos retó a pensar en nuestra responsabilidad al elegir los materiales. Como dice Hiram..."los artistas trabajan para la historia"... pero, en ese caso, nos tenemos que preocupar de la preservación de nuestro trabajo. Yo mencioné, a modo de comentario, que hoy en día confiamos en que nuestro trabajo quedará recogido en innumerables fotos y videos y que ciertamente algún record oficial quedará para la posteridad. Pero al desaparecer las obras originales, se forma un "vacío" porque no es lo mismo experimentar el original que verlo en fotos?</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">El arte contemporáneo no sólo utiliza materiales que sabemos se van a deteriorar sino tambien cosas cuya duración desconocemos. A mí me pasó con las esculturas de soga (marimercebollero.com) en las que al principio utilicé un pegamento que resultó degradarse con los años. Tuve que recurrir al tradicional método del arte textil: hilo y aguja.</span><br />
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me imagino que hay opiniones diversas: Es "irresponsable" crear obras con materiales perecederos?</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Y a quién no??? Y este año se lucieron de verdad, floreciendo más que nunca y durando porque la falta de lluvia hizo que conservaran la flor...</span><br />
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pero, como se pinta un cuadro contemporáneo de un flamboyán? Algo que no parezca uno de esos cuadros costumbristas que pintan los artistas aficionados y qué usualmente incluyen una casita en una loma? Esta obra de Jaymee Weinreich es muy diferente. Es lo que se llama una triada, de color. El azul violáceo, el verde amarillento y el anaranjado están equidistantes en la rueda de colores y se combinan a la perfección. En esta obra no hay marrones ni negros, ni colores neutrales. Todo es riqueza y fuerza. Nunca hemos visto un cuadro de flamboyán con tanta "personalidad"! Se vería estupenda en cualquier oficina o casa moderna.</span><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Who doesn't like flamboyanes??? And this year they flowered more and lasted more because the lack of rain let them keep their flowers longer...</span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But, how can you paint a flamboyán that looks "contemporary"? Something that doesn't look like one of those traditional pieces done by "Sunday painters" that include a little house on a hill. Well, this work by Jaymee Weinreich does the trick. It is done with just three colors, a triad. Blue v</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">iolet, orange and yellow green are equidistant in the color wheel, and match perfectly</span></span><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"> There is no brown here, nor black, nor neutral colors. It is all richness and vibrancy. We have never seen a flamboyan paingting with so much personality! It will certainly look fantastic in a modern office or home.</span></span><br />
