1. Our Bulletin has finally begun!!
Just as I told you in my last email, we have
created a modest bulletin with news and novelties in the fields
of Gaudí and Barcelona, and with the latest updates to the Club's
webpage.
We will attempt to release this bulletin every
month, so that you can all stay current on our activity, and
that of our members.
We want you all to collaborate, meaning that
if you have any suggestions or if you want to comment on one
number in particular, all you have to do is tell us!
Thanks for reading!! :-)
2. Members' Section
Since the last informative e-mail that we
sent you, we have received various messages with photographs
taken by our members. As you already know, any form of collaboration
or contribution to this site is welcomed by the Club and will
be published in the Members Section.
This month we added:
John Huges, of Ireland, made out of stainless steal
a Dragon Gate,similar to that of La Finca Güell.

Jan-Martign Verlaan, of Holland, sent us some beautiful
photographs of La Pedrera (Casa Mila) and a video of Sagrada
Familia.

Guy Crosley, an Australian artist, sent us photographs
of his work in "trencadís" (tiles) from his faraway continent.
They're really spectacular; don't miss them!

We are in the process of creating a new
design for this section -- your section -- and we want to
know what you would like to see here in the future. For the
moment, we have thought about adding the following categories:
Forum for Debate
Didactic Material (books, CD-ROM, videos, etc.)
The work of artists inspired by Gaudí's style
Member collaboration (photos, written texts, etc.)
Advice for traveling in Barcelona
Gaudi Tours we've organized
Stats about our members (where are they from?, how many are
there?, etc.)
3. Gaudí Press
We have added three articles which deal
with three diverse themes:
Beatification: Devotion to Gaudí begins before he enters
sainthood.
http://www.gaudiclub.com/ingles/i_links/i_beat8.asp
Tourism: La Pedrera breaks record for tourist visits.
http://www.gaudiclub.com/ingles/i_links/turism.asp
Relationship With Other Artists: FRIEDENSREICH HUNDERTWASSER:
The Austrian Gaudí.

4.- New Links
We have received an email from the designers
of the webpage of Sculptor Josep Ma. Subirachs, advising us
of their new Internet address:
http://www.subirachs.org
We have made him a link in our "Links" section:
http://www.gaudiclub.com/ingles/i_links/link1.asp
Also a link to the official website of Sagrada
Familia:
http://www.sagradafamilia.org/
San Diego artists Raymond Ellstad and Rosemary
Kimbal should be able to find their website in our Links section.

5.- 2002: The Year of Gaudí
We have prepared a special site dedicated
to news and information about the celebration of the 150th
anniversary of the birth of Gaudí, the year 2002 in Barcelona.
So you can find it easily, we have registered
the domains:
http://www.gaudi2002.com
and http://www.barcelona2002.com
We will be adding much to this section in
the near future
6.- Courses and Conventions
We take this opportunity to remind you that
on the coming 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th of November, the Seventh
International Convention of Gaudi Studies will be celebrated
in Delft, Holland.
You can read more information about this
in the "Gaudi News" section of our site:
http://www.gaudiclub.com/ingles/i_links/jornades.asp
We also have information about the monographic
course about the work of Gaudí given by Luis Gueilburt at
the University Polytechnics School of Barcelona.

7. Our Store
As you know, our Club provides a store,
in hopes that you will help support our project. If you've
never visited the store, take a look!
http://www.gaudiclub.com/tenda/principal.asp?lang=eng
Many members have asked for posters and
books; I promise you that very soon we will add those items.
For now, we have posted a multimedia CD-ROM
about Gaudí and his work that contains a synoptic biography
of the architect and his work, 150 unpublished images, 20
minutes of video, an original soundtrack and a map so that
you can easily locate the works of Gaudí. You can watch it
8 different languages:

8. Members Projects
We want to support, within our abilities,
our Club's members; this is why we present your creations
on our site.
In this case, Roberto Pachado, one of our
members, artist, native of Peru and resident of Barcelona,
offers us his work, some magnificent serigraphs based on the
work of Gaudí. For now, they are only accessible through http://www.gaudiclub.com/pachado/eng/pachado_ing.htm
at a special price of US $200. Sometime in the next month,
we will post them in our store at their normal price: 225
US $. If you are trying to think of a unique gift or something
with which to decorate your walls, this is a great option!
