En Studio Xaquixe hemos estado ocupados con una gran variedad de proyectos en Oaxaca y fuera de la región. Así que, mientras muchos consideran julio y agosto meses de relajación y de un ritmo más tranquilo, aquí en Xaquixe hemos encontrado que "ir más lento" es solo con el fin de acelerar. Echa un vistazo...&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX"&gt;En el taller se cerró el      trabajo en los hornos que utilizamos para hacer piezas de arte en vidrio      por remodelación y para reconstruir nuestro horno mediano con el fin de      que esté en las mejores condiciones para la temporada de otoño y el siguiente      año. Además, nuestro equipo estuvo trabajando duro en la reorganización      del taller, de modo que desde las pipas hasta los pigmentos de colores,      todo están bien ordenado para comenzar el año siguiente que estará lleno      de actividad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX"&gt;Hemos terminado la construcción      de nuestra nueva galería en el taller. Por un largo plazo había sido un      sueño tener un espacio elegante y dedicado a la exhibición de nuestro      inventario de productos y de la variedad de increíbles piezas de arte que      Christian ha creado en los últimos años. ¡Ahora es un hecho! Paredes      terminadas y lizas, un techo nuevo, puertas y ventanas de cristal, un      bello gabinete de exhibición y un suelo de mosaico increíble realizado por      Arte y Decoración—uno de los únicos productores restantes de mosaicos en      Oaxaca. Estamos muy orgullosos de los resultados. La próxima vez que estés      por el taller, por favor pasa y ve la galería. ¡Es toda luz y color! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX"&gt;En julio se instaló en el Ex      Convento de San Pablo, una obra encargada por la Fundación Alfredo Harp      Helú y creada en colaboración con el Maestro Francisco Toledo.

Como ponente invitado, Christian presentó el tema de los desafíos de los pequeños talleres de arte en vidrio para ser sostenibles en el mercado (social, ambiental y económicamente).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span lang="ES-MX" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Gill Sans&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;Después se trasladó hasta las brisas tropicales y las aguas cristalinas de Saint John’s, USVI. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="longtext" style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-size: auto auto; background-attachment: scroll; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat;"&gt;Allí visitó el centro de arte Trash to Treasure en Maho Bay. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: black;"&gt;En un artículo en el sitio de Trash to Treasures se mencionó: "Christian es responsable de ser uno de los pioneros que hicieron del taller de vidrio en Maho Bay un ejemplo de que se pueden hacer objetos de arte de vidrio utilizando vidrio de desecho. Él nos ayudó a operar de un modo más seguro y más eficiente energéticamente. Primero que nada, creó esculturas extraordinarias de vidrio que era basura, lo cual ha elevado el nivel de trabajo de nuestros artistas y de los artistas invitados." Hemos publicado las fotos de algunas de las creaciones que esculpió Christian este verano en Maho Bay. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps" style="background-color: black;"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Gill Sans&amp;quot;;

At Studio Xaquixe we’ve been busy with a myriad of projects within Oaxaca and farther afoot.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So while many consider July and August as one of relaxation and slower rhythms, we at Xaquixe have found that we only “slow down” in order to speed up.&amp;nbsp; Take a look…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;In the      shop we shut down work in our art glass furnaces for a little bit of      remodelling—taking several weeks to reconstruct our medium furnace and      have it in tip top condition for the Fall season. In addition, our team      was hard at work reorganizing the studio, so that every pipe and color      pigment was well stocked and organized for the very full year ahead. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;We      completed work on the our gallery space at the workshop.&amp;nbsp; It’s been a longterm dream of ours      to have an elegant and dedicated space for the exhibition of our inventory      of products and the array of amazing art pieces Christian has created over      the last months.&amp;nbsp; It’s now      done!&amp;nbsp; Finished walls, a new      ceiling, glass doors and windows, a beautiful exhibition cabinet, and an      amazing mosaic floor done by the guys at Arte y Decoración—one of the only      remaining producers of mosaic tiles in Oaxaca. We are really proud of the      results.&amp;nbsp; So next time you’re      out at the studio, please take a peak into the gallery—it’s all light and      color!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;In      July we hung the newest addition to the ex-convento de San Pablo, a piece      commissioned by the Fundación Alfredo Harp Helú and created in      collaboration with Maestro Francisco Toledo.&amp;nbsp; You can stroll by &lt;a href="http://www.museotextildeoaxaca.org.mx/museo/historia_museo_textil.htm"&gt;the Museo Textil&lt;/a&gt;      in city center and pass through to the ex-convento to take a look.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;We      began work on a massive fused glass window in collaboration with the      architect Mario Bolivar.&amp;nbsp;      We’re still creating molds in the studio to complete the project.      We look forward to sharing it with you when the it’s done.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;Christian      traveled north for the summer, spreading the word and work of Xaquixe      across the border.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="circle"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;His       first stop was in June at the &lt;a href="http://www.glassart.org/2011_Seattle_WA.html"&gt;41st Annual GAS (Glass Art       Society)&lt;/a&gt; Conference&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; held this year in Seattle,       Washington.&amp;nbsp; There, Christian       presented on the challenges of small art glass studios to remain       sustainable in the marketplace (socially, environmentally and       financially).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="circle"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;His       second stop was to the warm breezes and crystal waters of St. John’s,       USVI.&amp;nbsp; There he visited the       Trash to Treasure Art Center in Maho Bay. On Trash to Treasure’s site       they commented, “Christian is responsible for pioneering &lt;span class="il"&gt;Maho&lt;/span&gt;'s       glass studio into an example of how fine art glass objects can be made       from waste glass bottles.&amp;nbsp; He assisted us in making our operations       safe and more energy efficient.&amp;nbsp; Most of all he created       extraordinary art from waste glass and raised the bar for our staff       artists and other visiting artists.”&amp;nbsp; We’ve posted pictures of some of Christian’s summer       creations while at Maho Bay.&amp;nbsp;He’ll be returning in December to       install them in Concordia Estates, if any of you local to USVI would like       to take a gander.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal"&gt;And      last, but certainly not least, we’ve expanded our team this summer!&amp;nbsp; If you’ve been by the studio, you      may have met some of the new faces.&amp;nbsp;      Our office has gotten a much needed lift from the entrance of &lt;a href="http://www.xaquixe.com/glass/team.php"&gt;Elsa      Sánchez Díaz&lt;/a&gt;, our new Operations Administrator&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; And if you’ve dropped into the      studio while it’s in action, you may have met one of these two guys: &lt;a href="http://www.xaquixe.com/glass/team.php"&gt;Antonio      Velasco Muñoz&lt;/a&gt;, Christian’s personal assistant, as well as our newest studio      apprentice; or &lt;a href="http://www.xaquixe.com/glass/team.php"&gt;Salvador (Chava) Pulido&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% yellow;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; who is collaborating with      Christian on a project to innovate our combustion system in the studio      using renewable resources (more on that in a future post). We’re really      happy to have their hands, minds, hearts and fresh energy added to the      project!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ES"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="ES" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Gill Sans&amp;quot;; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/857036712375677629-4501018170173111450?l=studioxaquixe.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://studioxaquixe.blogspot.com/feeds/4501018170173111450/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://studioxaquixe.blogspot.com/2011/11/xaquixe-el-tiempo-de-la-transparencia.html#comment-form' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/857036712375677629/posts/default/4501018170173111450'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/857036712375677629/posts/default/4501018170173111450'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://studioxaquixe.blogspot.com/2011/11/xaquixe-el-tiempo-de-la-transparencia.html' title='El Final del Verano – End of Summer Update'/><author><name>Xaquixe Studio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10886405430154779847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
