Artglass™ helps to highlight artworks in Venice Biennale 2015

Company Groglass® is honored to be the official sponsor for the German Pavilion in Venice Biennale 2015. This year a large photo installation by the Berlin based artist Tobias Zielony will open the show in the German Pavilion and right after entering the pavilion, visitors will be presented with 12 large wooden show cases in landscape format, hanging from the ceiling. Unique artistic documents and rare newspapers will be on display.

Since the pavilion will be flooded with light, it will be challenging to display artworks printed on paper, avoiding the unwanted reflections beaming all across the hall. Therefore, in order to protect and ensure the clearest visibility of the valuable documents, installations of Tobias Zielony will be exhibited behind large panes of Artglass™ anti-reflective glass. Artglass™ reduces the light reflection to less than 1%, allowing the viewers to focus on the displayed items. In addition, the „invisible glass” by Groglass® provides nearly 100% protection from harmful UV rays and is scratch resistant.

Artglass™ – premuim quality picture framing glass is used by independent frame shops, as well as by finest museums and art galleries worldwide. For more information please visit http://www.groglass.com/products/picture-framing

ARTGLASS™ vērienīgā Latvijā radītā dizaina izstādē – HUMANIZĀCIJA

Grandioza iespēja apskatīt Artglass™ „neredzamo stiklu” iedvesmojošā ekspozīcijā HUMANIZĀCIJA. Izstādē tiek demonstrēta Latvijā radītā dizaina daudzveidība un pieejamība, atklājot dizaina potenciālu jebkuras nozares un indivīda sadzīves situācijas ietvaros. Šī ir otrā atklātā ekspozīcija Latvijas laikmetīgā dizaina ekspozīciju un notikumu cikla DIZAINA MANIFESTĀCIJA ietvaros.

HUMANIZĀCIJA ir ļoti īpaša izstāde – tajā apvienots priekšmetiskais dizains, pakalpojumu dizains, kā arī tehniskās jaunrades risinājumi, kas līdz šim Latvijā vēl nav darīts. Tāpēc izstāde ir lieliska platforma, kas veicina mijiedarbību starp šīm nozarēm un sekmē jaunus radošos risinājumus.

Ekspozīcijā ir apskatāmi vairāk kā 130 Latvijas dizaina produktu un pakalpojumu paraugi, demonstrējot plašo pielietojamību un rosinot diskusiju par šī potenciāla mērķtiecīgāku apgūšanu un izmantošanu. Artglass™ „neredzamais stikls” apskatāms sadaļā MATERIĀLI, kurā atainota Latvijas zinātnieku, izgudrotāju un dizaineru jaunrade.

Izstāde HUMANIZĀCIJA apskatāma no šī gada 6.februāra līdz 29.martam Dekoratīvās mākslas un dizaina muzejā (Skārņu ielā 10/20, Rīgā). Papildus informācija: www.lnmm.lv

Amazing opportunity to see Artglass™ in the exposition HUMANISATION. It is an inspiring and ambitious manifestation of the variety and availability of the design created in Latvia, revealing the potential of design within the framework of any sector and everyday situation of an individual. This is the second exhibition of the DESIGN MANIFESTATION, the cycle of the expositions and events of the contemporary design of Latvia.

The exhibition is noteworthy event, because it combines product design, service design and technical innovations – so far it hasn`t been done in Latvia. Therefore it is great platform what encourages interaction between these sectors and lead to new creative solutions.

More than one hundred Latvian design items, including products, services and design processes are displayed in the exhibition.  Artglass™ – the “invisible glass” is exhibited at the section MATERIALS, where it`s possible to see the innovations created by Latvian scientists, inventors and designers.

Christmas 2014 charity project

During this Holiday Season, we think back to our motto – See What’s Important and we cannot take for granted our ability to see the beauty of the world around us. Therefore, this Holiday Season we chose to support children with visual impairments.

“Liepiņa” is a preschool operating since 1993 and located in Liepāja – a city in Western Latvia.

This year, with support from Groglass®, children in “Liepiņa” will receive:

  • Chart to estimate visual acuity with lighting;
  • 4 school desks with lighting for children’s individual work and other furniture;
  • Special training materials for playing center;
  • Light table (EDU2) for developing children’s vision, touch and feelings;
  • Learning games (kinetic sands, corner reflector, the answer bell with lighting, large abacus, blackboard with light etc.).

And with this support the children:

  • Will be able to develop according to his / her individuality and visual possibilities by using modern and appropriate materials;
  • Will be able to engage in cognition of the world around us by using the role attributes of the scene plays and with the light table (for developing the sense of tactile);
  • Will develop the skills to navigate according to their visual capabilities;
  • Will develop skills to evaluate themselves and their abilities to succeed as well as express themselves among their peers;
