Design in Majorca: New Trends







"Solid"  by Joan Muñoz









Joan Muñoz is on the top list of Majorcan Designers.  In a constant research of new ideas,  new forms and new materials,  his work is absolutely outstanding.  Never worried about originality,  his designs transmit the simple joy of the process of creating.  And the results are awesome!  Purity of lines,  fressness,  elegance,  lightness,  simplicity...   After,  originality arises,  in a very natural way...                                                                                                                  
Another exceptional quality that I find in Joan's work is that his vision of contemporary design is full of warmth...                              

Not only talented,  Joan is truly someone in love with life and has also an extraordinary sense of humor...   This cocktail of qualities make of him one of the most promising young designers of Majorca,  and reflect the new spirit of the island.

Logic Moon












And 2012 arrived for me like this
Very gently,  very peacefully and very smooth
Like the first lights of the morning
And almost without noticing it...

And 2012 arrived for me like this
With a small group of people
The last ones that remained
After a night full of joy
Talking about anything,  talking about nothing,  maybe laughing...

I was not tired at all
I was just very quiet,  observing,  listening,  feeling...
There was a sort of happiness in the air
Was it the presence of deep love and understanding in my heart?
Or just my heart simply and finally in peace?

And 2012 arrived for me like this
Like a promise
A promise of life
A promise of changes
A promise of something new
A promise of happiness for everyone
Like the promise of a World that was going to rebirth...

And 2012 arrived for me like this
Very quiet,  very peaceful,  and with this music
That filled up the space in a very particular and unexpected way...

I did not wake up,  because I did not sleep
But I was more awaken than ever...

Nikola Saric: WEBS

Red Web














Nikola Saric (1985) is a young Serbian artist that lives and works in Germany.

Graduated from the TechnoArt School in Belgrade, in the branch of jewelry of art objects. In 2006 he enrolled the studies at the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade. A year later he changed to study wall painting at the Academy of Serbian Orthodox Church for Arts and Conservation, where he actually works on MA degree.
 
He has participated in several exhibitions at home and abroad, and was invited to develop  the project for the new floor mosaic for the Church of St. Petka in the Municipality of Paris Bondy, with the task of creating a richer cultural content and a more attractive tourism offer for this municipality. 

Today he focuses on projects of mural paintings,  for private interiors and public display. In 2010 he created the Wall Suit concept,  an original proposition to understand wall painting and design,  as a way to dress up a space.  And the following year he started a fashion label with the same name,  based in Hannover,  Germany.

All along the History of Art,  walls have been painted,  decorated with plaster,  stone,  wood,  and all sort of materials.  From the Prehistoric cave drawings,  through the murals of The Renaissence and the art of Keith Haring,  wall art has been an expression of the culture of it's time.  Modern societies seem to have forgotten this,  to express the culture of their time on their walls.  With his Wall Suit concept,  Nikola gives a another meaning to a wall,  an alternative view to suit the space,  and the wall becomes a work of art.

Energy Flow

 





Energy Flow representa otro aspecto del flujo de la energía.  Los antiguos taoístas observaron que en la Naturaleza existían dos energías complementarias,  como en los dos polos de una pila (negativo/positivo),  a las que denominaron Yin y Yang.  El Yin representa lo femenino,  el Yang,  lo masculino. 

En mis clases de taichi,  siempre he utilizado la metáfora del árbol,  o de una planta,  para explicar éste concepto.  Para crecer,  el árbol necesita las dos energías.  El tronco y las ramas van hacia arriba,  atraídos por la energía Yang,  masculina,  del Cielo;  y las raíces profundizan cada vez más,  atraídas por la energía Yin,  de la Tierra.  Al igual que los árboles y las plantas,  los seres humanos,  y todas las criaturas de la creación,  necesitamos las dos para crecer.  Ambas energías interactúan constantemente y fluyen en los dos sentidos.  También,  toda criatura viviente,  las lleva intrínsecas en su propia naturaleza.  Chi,  es el nombre taoísta,  que se le da a la energía.

Energy Flow representa,  siguiendo éste concepto,  la potente llegada del flujo de energía Yang,  para fertilizar la Tierra.

Un cálido agradecimiento a Pere Cortada,  del Centre Cap Vermell,  por el entrañable artículo que ha escrito sobre Fluxes y Magic Blue.  Me ha gustado especialmente su manera de comenzarlo,  con su característico y feliz entusiasmo:  

"Que todo fluya..."

Fluxes










El flujo de la energía se mueve en la forma de una onda sinusoidal.
La luz es una forma de energía.
La energía se mueve de un punto a otro punto, recorriendo el espacio y el tiempo.
El movimiento es energía en el espacio durante un periodo espacio-tiempo.
El ritmo es la música que crea la energía. El ritmo crea la estructura coreográfica.
El ritmo puede ser más rápido o más lento, dilatado o comprimido: forma la banda sonora durante el viaje de la pieza.





















Fluxes es una instalación de Jean-Marc Serrano Deladoey sobre el flujo de la energía en la coreografía.

Jean-Marc Serrano: Fluxes







El mismo 4 de noviembre a las 20h se inaugura la instalación "Fluxes",  de Jean-Marc Serrano,  en el espacio contiguo a Magic Blue,  en el Centro Cap Vermell.

Jean-Marc realiza,  desde hace años,  un interesante y comprometido trabajo de investigación en el mundo de la danza contemporánea,  con su propia compañía que se presenta habitualmente entre Mallorca,  Barcelona y Bruselas.    En una incesante búsqueda por encontrar nuevos lenguajes y medios de expresión,  sus propuestas están siempre llenas de originalidad y constituyen un desafío a abrir más nuestra propia percepción,  a ver con otros ojos...

Entre los dos espacios se crea un diálogo interesante.

Fluxes es una poética metáfora del flujo de la energía en la coreografía.  La espectacular y serpenteante línea roja de luz,  en la oscuridad,  nos invita sutilmente a recorrerla y descubrir progresivamente el espacio.  Inspira movimiento..

La luminosa línea azul de Magic Blue,  sobre fondo negro,  es una invitación a parar un momento,  mirar en nuestro interior,  y observar la sensación que produce en nuestro espíritu,  el impacto energético del color.  Inspira silencio.









Fluxes.  Inauguración:  4 de noviembre 2011.  20h
Centre Cap Vermell,  Cala Rajada,  Mallorca

Eduard Fontbona: La Nit i El Pianista




















A beautiful composition by Eduard,  son of my cousin Francesc.
Listening to his music,  brings me back to my own origins... a classical vein that flows in the family...
echos of Satie and the Impressionists,  a certain melancholy...  the arrival of Atumn... the solitude of the artist...
In other pieces he sounds more like a child,  full of freshness and joy of living... sometimes even a little bit jazzy...



Music:    Eduard Fontbona,  Piano Solo
                "La Nit M'emporta"

From the album La Nit dels Origens
Barcelona 2009
