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.html
Tourism: La Pedrera breaks record for tourist visits.
http://www.gaudiclub.com/ingles/i_links/turism.html
Relationship With Other Artists: FRIEDENSREICH HUNDERTWASSER: The
Austrian Gaudí.
http://www.gaudiclub.com/ingles/i_links/artists.html
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.html
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.html
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!
