Carlo Bernardini inaugurates to the Umbracle of the Ciudad De Las
Artes Y Las Ciencias in Valencia a new fibers optic installation
"Permeable Space".
Working with a unique system of fiber optics, Bernardini creates a
shifting, illusory network of illuminated lines that traverse the
space in weblike formations. Viewers' processes of perception are
challenged and overturned as they enter the created environment,
experiencing it from within and without.
His is a form of creativity that works on the basis of a code of
modifications in space reflecting variants produced by light. So much
is confirmed by the present research of Carlo Bernardini, who handles
light and shade like materials and substances, using
electro-luminescent surfaces and optical fibers with internal lighting
in a context of total darkness.
In these works with interior and exterior environmental light
installations, the optical superimposition of lines traversing a space
and lines running along the planes of the same space, viewed from a
certain position, can produce two-dimensional visual conditions.
Closing one eye, transforming it into a single lens, the image becomes
two-dimensional; as soon as the viewpoint shifts volumetric changes
come about, generating mirror image-forms.
The first impression is not of the optical fibers themselves, but
rather of transparent plates of glass lit up along the sides.
The optical fibers only reveal the empty space they enclose in a
subsequent phase of perception.
The observer can enter into a sort of illusory space, experiencing the
installation from within and without.

CARLO BERNARDINI was born in Viterbo in 1966 and obtained his diploma
at the Fine Arts Academy in Rome in 1987. In 1997 he wrote the
theoretical essay on "The division of visual unity", which was
published by Stampa Alternativa. In 2000 and 2005 he received a grant
"Overseas Grantee" from the Pollock - Krasner Foundation of New York,
and in 2002 the prize Targetti Art Light Collection "White Sculpture".
He has created and installed permanent public sculptures in stainless
steel and optic fibres in various Italian cities. He currently teaches
at the Fine Arts Academy of "Brera" in Milan. He lives and works both
in Milan.

BRATISLAVA

26 June -31 August 2008

Sculptures produce a unique mood and distinct atmosphere; they enrich the ways that culture can be enjoyed both by locals and visitors to the city alike. The possibility to explore barrier-free communication using works of art in the streets and on city squares not only helps build up a relationship to art, but also cultivates the aesthetic insight and awareness of the viewer. Every summer quality art and distinguished artistic figures from all over the world come together in Bratislava.

This annual event enjoys exceptional popularity and interest not just from the general public but also professional circles. At a previous year of the exhibition the then rector of the Budapest Academy of Fine Arts, Professor Adam Farkaš, even noted that Bratislava is becoming the European capital of sculpture every summer thanks to this event.

Now in its thirteenth year, this year the event will involve an even greater number of works (more than 200), participating artists (67) and countries (22), and it will take place at more venues than it ever did before.

In addition to outdoor sites on the city squares Hviezdoslavovo námestie and Františkánske námestie with large dimension works of artists from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Spain and Korea, and in the courtyard of Primate's Palace with works of the "stars" of this year's exhibition, outstanding Polish artist Igor Mitoraj and the no less renowned Czech artist Olbram Zoubek, the artistic works of over 60 artists will also be put on show in the "chamber" environment of the various participating galleries. Joining local Slovak artists will be others from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Austria, Bulgaria, Italy, France, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Croatia, Spain, Japan, Korea, Israel, Brazil, Russia, Great Britain and Georgia.

The premises on the 1^st floor of Dom umenia (House of Art) will be the venue for a broadly conceived display of artists from various countries entitled Art Without Frontiers. Art has always ignored barriers that endeavour incomprehensibly to separate and prevent the open and free promotion of artistic values. The works of artists of various genres and generations, using different expressive and material means, present a mission of co-operation and better mutual understanding through the universal communication medium that is fine art.

In addition to various Slovak artists like Peter Roller, Ján Hoffstädter and Ingrid Višňovská, Daniel Brunovský, or Ľubo Stacho, for instance, other works on display will include those of young Finnish artists the likes of Vesa-Pekka Rannikko and Jari Mannisto, as well as the large dimension installation Flags from Markus Kahre, winner of the 2007 Ars Fennica Prize for young artist; there will be works from renowned artists from other countries as well, including Lis Andersen (DK), Susanne Kathlen Mader (N), Barbro Raen Thomassen (N), Fredrik Raddum (N), Gunnar Carl Nilsson (S), Bert van Loo (NL), Roland de Jong Orlando (NL), Gebhard Sengmüller (A), Mitsouko Mori (J), Carlos Galvao (BR), Gjalt Blauw (NL), Neven Bilić (HR) recommended to be included by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, or Alexander Pankin (RUS), already renowned also in this part of the world.

In Mirbach Palace of Bratislava City Gallery visitors will have the chance to see works of four Italian artists at the exhibition entitled Italian Lights, in the curator concept of Lia de Venere. They are Giuseppe Teofilo, Carlo Bernardini, Filippo Centenari and Carlo Steiner whose works creatively utilise and play with lights;

In Gallery Z there will be an installation – exhibition of Hungarian artist István Gellér B. – A Growing City;

in the Gallery of the French Institute curator Zsuzsa Dárdai will present the works of two French representatives of the MADI movement, Jean Charass and Saint-Cricq;

in the Gallery of the Austrian Cultural Forum in co-operation with Galerie Martin Janda from Vienna, the installations of young Austrian artist Johannes Vogel will be exhibited;

in the Gallery of the Czech Centre the author of the large dimension work created specially for this exhibition , Shrine for Bratislava and installed on Františkánske námestie, Václav Fiala, will put on a selection of his more intimate constructivist work;

in the Gallery of the Bulgarian Cultural and Information Centre acclaimed sculptor and organiser of symposia from Bulgarian Ilindentci, Ivan Russev, will present his stone sculptures;

The Kressling Gallery at its new address on Zámočnícka ulica is involved in the project with a selection of works from young Slovak and Czech artists - 7 Sculptors, where among others visitors can see works of Erik Binder, Viktor Frešo, Mário Chromý, Kristof Kinter (CZ) or Evžen Šimera;

one floor up at the same address in Komart Gallery you will find works of Federico Diaz from the Czech Republic;

and finally Gallery Forzet will have exhibit works of Milan Lukáč.

This year's SCULPTURE and OBJECT XIII also welcomes the 3^rd International Sculpture Symposium L´Art pour la Santé SO-CHA, Topolčianky 2008, from 13 – 31 August 2008

MEDIA RELEASE: 19 Story Sky Garage Condo in NYC Chelsea District Topped Out..

Topping out [all concrete poured] Completed on 10-story Sky Garage luxury condo at 200 11th Avenue in NYC's Chelsea district,
says Architect of Record Steven Kratchman, AIA.


New York, NY, June 09th, 2008
Topping Out Completed on 19-Story Sky Garage Luxury Condo at 200 11th Avenue in Chelsea, says Architect of Record, Steven Kratchman.

All concrete has now been poured. The 19-story, 16 unit, luxury condominium tower at 200 11th Avenue in Chelsea in New York City was topped out today, according to the building's Architect of Record, Steven Kratchman, AIA.

200 11th Avenue is often referred to as the sky garage building, because it's designed with a car elevator that travels vertically to all of the residential units. Each luxury apartment will be sold with an attached garage, similar to a suburban home, but stacked vertically, Mr. Kratchman said. The upper façade will be made of stainless steel panels. The four base stories are to be clad in terra cotta.

Located in the former warehouse district of West Chelsea in Manhattan, 200 11th Avenue will offer expansive views of the Hudson River.

Architect and Urban Designer Steven Kratchman, AIA, is the founder and CEO of the firm Steven Kratchman Architect, PC. Before establishing his own firm, Mr. Kratchman served as lead architect on the now world renowned Chelsea Piers complex in Manhattan. The Kratchman firm was recently contracted by Surround Art to create their architectural master plan for a clean, green Silver LEED industrial campus at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

We are honored to be the Architect of Record of 200 11th Avenue, working with the esteemed Design Architect Annabelle Selldorf on this elegantly designed project," Mr. Kratchman said. Construction is expected to be completed in February, 2009.

Credits for 200 11th Avenue: The Design Architect is the firm Selldorf Architects of New York City, Annabelle Selldorf, Founder. The Architect of Record is the firm Steven Kratchman Architect, P.C., of New York City, Steven Kratchman, Founder and CEO. The owner is Gaia House LLC, which is a partnership between Urban Muse LLC and YoungWoo & Associates.

The Kratchman and Selldorf firms were previously paired as Architect of Record and Design Architect, respectively, on a six-story vertical addition to an existing three-story former warehouse in the lower Manhattan meatpacking district at 415 West 13th Street.

Steven Kratchman Architect, P.C., was founded in 1999 by Steven Kratchman, AIA, architect and urban designer, who previously served as Senior Designer for the team that transformed an abandoned New York City urban harbor area into the now world-renowned Chelsea Piers.

His firm has grown from two architects to a professional staff of 15, who work on retail, commercial and residential projects, multi-family residential, single-family residential, historic and landmark properties, private clubs and sports facilities, educational institutions, new from-the-ground-up buildings and restaurants.

Water Mortar

Enjoy having water fights in the summer?

Need to drench the nauseating dry? (Ok maybe that's a little far fetched) but we've seriously never had as much fun with a water filled balloon before!

The Water Mortar goes beyond your basic water gun; this is a water grenade that has no equal and is as big as a small child! (ok… not quite).

Have heaps of fun as you use it to blast enemies with water bombs that fire up to 8 metres, so there's no chance you'll ever miss your target! With The Water Mortar, YOU are in charge, and as it comes with 100 water bombs, you can rest assure that your victim will get a soaking!

All you need to do is fill the water bombs, load your Water Mortar, aim at your unexpecting victims and hey…splashda-la-vista baby! The shoulder mounted Water Mortar leaves no survivors, so if you're considering having a water fight, this brute is certainly the one for you.
