1777115583Paris: Nyon and Stoupe 1777. The invention of ball bearings making possible one of the great engineering feats of the 18th century First edition of this account of this remarkable feat the first practical use of ball bearings in engineering. Charged with designing the bronze equestrian statue of the Russian emperor Peter the Great that remains a celebrated landmark of St Petersburg the French sculptor Etienne Falconet decided that the traditional pedestal for equestrian statues would be too mundane. Only a massive rock would suffice. Eventually an enormous piece of granite was located in a marsh near the Gulf of Finland. The Thunder Stone as it was dubbed was estimated to be 40 feet long 25 feet side and 21 feet tall and weighed some 1800 tons: about 1300 tons more than any of the obelisks moved by the ancient Egyptians or Romans. Most engineers declared its removal impossible but Catherine the Great turned to Carburi a Greek of dubious moral reputation who had banished himself from his native island of Cephalonia and had come to Russia where he found favour with the empress. To move the giant rock Carburi devised a gigantic sled moving on a system of rails and six-inch bronze ball bearings. Although ball bearings had been shown in earlier sketches by both Leonardo da Vinci and Agostino Ramelli Carburi's feat was the first practical demonstration of their use. It predated the first modern recorded patent on ball bearings that awarded to Philip Vaughan a British inventor and ironmaster who created a design for a ball bearing in Carmarthen in 1794 by more than two decades. The project invited comparison to the moving of the Vatican obelisk by Fontana in the 16th century which Carburi here argues must have been easier because it was a shorter distance.

Catálogo de bolsillo y de excelente factura realizado con motivo de la exposición de la obra del artista en el Museo de Bellas Artes en julio de 2008. La publicación en formato de bolsillo y de bella factura incluye fotografías de algunas obras de Hugo Marín por Mario Vivado y un encendido prólogo de Alejandro Jodorowsky viejo amigo del artista. Sobresale la agudeza y estilo del ensayo de Carrasco que ahonda primero en la obra y luego en la biografía de Hugo Marín presentándonos el trabajo más completo hasta ahora sobre el artista haciendo una notable introducción al rico mundo que nos fascina y nos inquieta de esas esculturas de cuero o barro de sus "cabezas" de esa ancestralidad siempre nueva y transfigurada. Para Hugo Marín el arte es un medio de autoconocimiento que posibilita la creación y el poder organizador de la naturaleza. Tanto en la pintura como en la escultura se expresa a través de imágenes relacionadas a elementos míticos y ancestrales que se conservan en todas las culturas a través de la memoria colectiva. Mezcla lo primitivo y ritual de culturas ya extinguidas. Recurre tanto a mitos y símbolos de antiguas religiones como la tibetana o el Tantra de la India como a la iconografía de los pueblos precolombinos y el arte rupestre. Para sus pinturas utiliza la técnica mixta en la que incluye adobe y paja el polvo de ladrillo mármol y grafito. Son obras en las que ejecución y temática reflejan claramente su interés por los temas antropológicos. Ocho Libros unknown books
