Dejamos nuestro último episodio preguntándonos sobre los costos de construir una casa con derivados de la arcilla. ¡Resulta que es barato! Entonces, si es barato, ¿más personas han aprovechado la oportunidad de construir de esta manera? y ¿por qué no se ha popularizado en entornos urbanos? Para responder a estas preguntas, continuamos la conversación con Miguel Ángel Pérez, un bioconstructor de Baja, y hablamos sobre los costos de la construcción con arcilla. Tambien charlamos con Rachel Formanek, una neoyorquina que se mudó de California a Baja para encontrar condiciones de vida mejores y más asequibles. Por último, nos sentamos con Alex Ruiz, director de planificación urbana en Tecate y nos dió una nueva perspectiva sobre la viabilidad de la construcción con tierra en entornos urbanos.

From Paris, surrealism spread to Belgium, where René Magritte became a leading figure. In New York, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, and Dorothea Tanning represented surrealism at Peggy Guggenheim’s Gallery of the Century. In Mexico City Frida Kahlo and Diego Riviera together with a group of exiles from WWII, like Leonor Fini and Remedios Varo, organized and showed surrealist art. Exhibitions sprang up in Belgrade, Cairo, Prague, Brussels, London, and San Francisco. A historical survey of Fantastic Art, Dada, Surrealism at MOMA in 1936 introduced the movement to a wider audience. Breton’s death in 1966 left no heir to unite the divergent branches of surrealist artists all over the world and led to the end of surrealism as a unified movement, but its influence continues today.

On a dark, windy night, Carlsbad Oceanside Art League artists haunted the kitchen at the North Coastal Art Gallery to whip up a most gruesome abode: the spooky COAL mansion. Is up for grabs from October 1 through October 27 at the gallery. One picked up a pencil and said, “This should be drawn and quartered.” Another grabbed a bewitched brush and said, “I’m going to paint this house, red…. or blue. Well, no, we need the whole spectrum for this.“ Another grabbed a slab of gingerbread and said, “I think my knife is sharp enough.” Another gathered ghastly, green fondant and silently fashioned it into phantasms. When it was complete, they screamed with ardent admiration and said, “What a delightfully dilapidated domicile to display!" Stop in, a must see at the Gallery. Tickets are available at the gallery or online at the North Coastal Art Gallery https://northcoastalartgallery.com/silent-art-auction-by-local-artists/ Carlsbad-Oceanside Art League (North Coastal Art Gallery) on Facebook / Instagram

While today may be pumpkin spice and everything nice, the elves at The Barn Redefined, previously known as Poway Countryside Barn, are getting ready for the holiday season, with their popular Christmas at the Barn shopping event, themed “The 12 Days of Christmas”. A wonderful place for holiday decorating ideas; one of the most anticipated features of the event is their themed Christmas trees. This year, they have twenty-six! Themes include “Under the Stars” (camping/outdoor tree), “To All a Goodnight” (black, white, green, dark blue), “Enchanted Forest” (mossy, feathers, reds), “Classic Christmas” (red velvet, classic Santa, mistletoe), “Chrismukkah” (deep blue, gold, silver), and “Mrs. Clause’s Bake Shop (reds, light blues),” to name a few. The event provides lots of holiday photo opportunities, as the exterior will be a giant gingerbread house, and a large vintage trailer will become a “Candy Shop.” This year, they will be collecting new toys, arts & crafts and hygiene products for kids of all ages for Anvil of Hope, a non-profit focused on helping low-income families, those facing homelessness and temporary hardship. Everyone who donates will receive a paper gingerbread man with their name on it to hang on a dedicated wall. New this year is a gift-wrapping section with supplies available for purchase.
