ENIGM-ART Art Gallery Software and web agency | Curator Studio Les cours de la ville de Paris à L’Ecole du Louvre Les cours gratuits sont assez nombreux à Paris et j’estime qu’il est utile de faire un article sur chacun d’entre eux. Aujourd’hui ce sera sur les fameux cours gratuits de l’École du Louvre. Organisé avec le concours de la Ville de Paris, ce cours hebdomadaire se déroule, de novembre à mai et change de thématique chaque année. En 2011/2012 ce cour abordera le sujet de « Paris sur scène : Les spectacles à Paris, du Moyen Age aux années 60 » et à commencé le 18 novembre 2011. Ces cours ont lieu tous les vendredis de 18h30 à 19h30, sont gratuits et accessible à tous dans la limite des places disponibles (600 places). Amphithéâtre Rohan / 99, rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris Si ce sujet des cours gratuits vous intéresse, j’ai également fait un autre article sur les cours de cinéma du Forum des Images.
Carolina Arts News X-rays show why van Gogh's yellows have darkened - physics-math - 14 February 2011 Video: Tiny X-ray saves Van Gogh A bright yellow pigment developed in the 19th century was a gift to the Impressionists – it allowed the likes of Vincent van Gogh to create his vibrant sunflower paintings. But not all the works that used chrome yellow have fared well over time: the yellow areas in some of them have darkened considerably. No one knew why – until the powerful X-ray beam generator at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France, was turned on the paint. Janssens's team took samples of the pigment – lead chromate – from three century-old tubes of chrome yellow. They had to use old paint because the pigment was discovered to be toxic in 1950, and its use was discontinued. In the paint from one of the tubes, a nanometre-thick layer on the surface of the pigment darkened a little. Barium bad move So much for the oil paint in the tubes. "The mixture of sulphate and chromate is very sensitive to darkening under UV light. "And temperature may be important too.

Photo by Raymundo Barrera MOCA curatorial assistant Selene Preciado interviewed artist Jacob Hashimoto in conjunction with his exhibition Gas Giant, on view March 1–June 8, 2014 at MOCA Pacific Design Center. SELENE PRECIADO Jacob, can you please talk about the role that architecture played in each interpretation of Gas Giant and how it has tested “the limits of language, to reinterpret the space of the piece” especially in the case of the third and final presentation at MOCA Pacific Design Center? JACOB HASHIMOTO The MOCA Pacific Design Center is a very peculiar building. Untitled (process drawing 24), 2013. SP Can you please tell us how your work is conceptually related to sacred architecture—a subject you have mentioned as being of interest? JH My early experiences with James Turrell were the kind of awe that he could capture in a simple gesture, so this is the meeting of minimalism and poetics.
