Dissemination of Appropriate Technologies. GATE focusses its work on three key areas: Depending on the case at hand a traditional, intermediate or highly-developed can he the "appropriate" one. They should contribute to socio-economic development whilst ensuring optimal utilization of resources and minimal detriment to the environment. GATE defines "Appropriate technologies" as those which are suitable and acceptable in the light of economic, social and cultural criteria. GATE is a centre for the dissemination and promotion of appropriate technologies for developing countries. It was founded in 1978 as a special division of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH. At the trendy grocery, deli, cafe and self-service pub you’ll find refreshment and meet young folks and old-timers, too.Biological Monitoring: Signals from the EnvironmentĪ Publication of the Deutsches Zentrum für Entwicklungstechnologien - GATE, a Division of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH - 1991ĭeutsches Zentrum für Entwicklungstechnologien - GATEĭeutsches Zentrum für Entwicklungstechnologien - GATE - stands for German Appropriate Technology Exchange. Does her otherwise abstract “Trees” find its name from the many handsome vertical lines?Īfter your gallery perusal, visit the nearby Woolley Market. Jewel-like colors are enlivened by the gray background. In contrast, the mixed-media panels by Vandervelde are delightfully restful and expansive, the brushwork imaginative. And his use of discordant, opposing hues-faded greens against rose, mauve versus yellow-creates a very contemporary feeling.
“Glyph 4” demonstrates how an internal edge can suggest three dimensions-in this case, a multicolored tower. But the iconography is all his own cartoons of men, women, twisted bodies, faces, breasts, phalluses, cats, airplanes, happy faces and indecipherable scribbles. Mortz’s four “Glyph” panels strongly evoke the “white writing” of Mark Tobey with their “all-over” tangles of lines. The “Grand Opening” exhibit also includes work by two painters, Steve Mortz and Seattle-based Amy Vandervelde. One, entitled “Never”-in acrylic, gold leaf, rice paper, burlap and silk thread-is realist and haunting. In contrast are Somers’ paintings of ravens. Quite beautiful is his small “Triptych”-mixed media including raku-fired clay and steel. Somers’ “Memories of Mustang” combines wooden sticks, wetted fabric and rusted steel mesh, evoking spirits of plains Indians and expansive vistas. The “Free-formed Boxes” are fabricated of Raku clay, encaustic, wire and plastic wrap. His attractive “Steel Boxes” contrast the warmth of lacquered steel with brilliant gold leaf. Somers draws on neolithic iconography and Chinese bronzes for inspiration in his complex objects made from metal, clay and fabric. Their stunning “Aplarium Minor” is an eight-foot tower of white enameled steel with emerald glass windows-perfect for your backyard lawn. Here, White’s rolled steel embraces McJunkin’s sparkling filigree of pate de verre glass in “Depletion” and “Refreshing Ice.”
Now, their work is available to see and purchase at Trinky Busiu. The public has enjoyed the marriage of White’s sculptural steel with McJunkin’s beautiful glass in many galleries and outdoor installations in Skagit Valley-Camano Island, the Mount Vernon Riverwalk, and on the La Conner waterfront. For White, it’s a relief to have an attractive space where customers can appreciate his sculptures without having to stumble over hazardous tools and materials in his metal shop. Recently a new gallery, Trinky Busiu, at 809 Eastern Ave., has sprung from the minds of three well-known Skagit artists-Milo White, Brian Somers, and Lyn McJunkin. Will Sedro-Woolley be the next big thing? Have Edison, La Conner, and Mount Vernon run out of space and become too expensive for new galleries? Where: Trinky Busiu, 809 Eastern Ave., Sedro-Woolley
