Latvijas Ministru prezidente Laimdota Straujuma viesojas Groglass®

Esam pagodināti – šorīt uzņēmumā Groglass® viesojās Latvijas Ministru prezidente Laimdota Straujuma un Latvijas Tirdzniecības un Rūpniecības Kameras (LTRK) padome. Viesi tika laipni uzņemti un informēti par uzņēmuma vēsturi, attīstību un veiksmīgo darbību, kā arī bija lieliska iespēja izstaigāt ražotni un redzēt, kā tiek ražots augtas kvalitātes „neredzamais” stikls, kas tiek eskportēts uz vairāk kā 40 dažādām pasaules valstīm. Viesi bija patīkami pārseigti uzzināt dažādus interesantus faktus, piemēram, liela uzmanība tiek pievērsta pētniecībai un sadarbībai ar zinātnes jomu, t.sk., Latvijas Universitātes Cietvielu fizikas institūtu, uzņēmuma klientu vidū ir dažādu valstu muzeji, veikali u.c., kā arī, spriežot pēc pārdošanas rezultātiem, katrās 90 sekundēs kaut kur pasaulē ar SIA Groglass stiklu tiek ierāmēts kāds mākslas darbs.
Latvijas Ministru prezidente Laimdota Straujuma augstu novērtē uzņēmuma Groglass® darbību inovatīvā jomā, izmantojot zinātnes atklājumus: «Jūsu darbs ir ļoti iedvesmojošs citiem uzņēmīgiem cilvēkiem Latvijā, darbojoties ar pievienotās vērtības produktu radīšanu.»
Groglass® telpās notika arī LTRK padomes sēde.
Bija patiess prieks uzņemt viesus, kā arī saņemt tik daudz pozitīvas atsaukmes par uzņēmumu!

Uzņēmums Groglass® turpina atbalstīt latviešu māksliniekus

Šī gada aprīļa beigās Briselē jau 33.reizi pēc kārtas notika Art Brussels 2015 – starptautiska laikmetīgās mākslas izstāde.  Laika gaitā tā ir pamatīgi pilnveidojusies un kļuvusi par nozīmīgu mākslas pasākumu, kas nu jau pulcē vairāk kā 200 galerijas no visas pasaules. Šogad Latviju pārstāvēja galerija Alma ar mākslinieka Andra Eglīša solo darbu ekspozīciju, kas sastāvēja no iespaidīga mākslas objekta, gleznas un fotogrāfijām.

Foto  sērija  “Iespējamā vieta” ir mākslinieka Andra Eglīša brīvdabas darbnīcā tapušas abstraktu objektu konstrukcijas uzņemtas ar ģimenes mantojumu – kolodija plašu fotokameru. Visas sešas bildes tika ierāmētas ar „neredzamo” Artglass™ stiklu.

„Aktuāls bija jautājums ,kā lai saglabā visas smalkās fotogrāfijas nianses. Jau agrāk, kad ierāmējām īpaši vērtīgus mākslas darbus, izmantojām Groglass® ražoto Artglas™s stiklu. Tas ir labākais mākslas darbu ierāmēšanai, jo tas ir anti-reflektīvs un nodrošina gandrīz 100% aizsardzību pret kaitīgo UV starojumu, tā pasargājot un saglabājot vērtīgos mākslas darbus. Lepojamies, ka šāds – augstākās kvalitātes neatspīdošais stikls tiek ražots Latvijā un paldies Groglass® komandai par atsaucību un atbalstu”, saka Astrīda Riņķe – Galerijas Alma vadītāja un īpašniece.

Andris Eglītis ir jauns un talantīgs mākslinieks. Viņš neapstājas pie sasniegtā, bet arvien ir meklē jaunus radošos risinājumus, lai izteiktu savu pasaules uztveri caur mākslu. 2013.gadā A.Eglītis ieguva Purvīša balvu – prestižāko laikmetīgās mākslas apbalvojumu Latvijā. Un šogad mākslinieks kopā ar Katrīnu Neiburgu veidoja Latvijas paviljonu 56. Venēcijas biennālē.

Uzņēmums Groglass® ir pagodināts atbalstīt Andri Eglīti – vēlam veiksmi, kā arī arvien jaunus radošos sasniegumus!

Groglass® continues to support talanted artists

Art Brussels (http://www.artbrussels.com/) is a fair, which has been established 33 years ago and has a strong focus on international contemporary art. The fair has been expanded over the years and now boasting 200 galleries from all around the world. Latvia was represented at the SOLO section – Alma Gallery (Riga) showed works by Andris Eglītis, one of the artists representing Latvia (together with Katrīna Neiburga) at the Venice Biennale 2015. Eglītis’ series of photographs “Possible Place” were made with his family heritage collodion plate studio-camera and framed with the “invisible” Artglass™ by Groglass®, highlighting the beauty of each framed artwork, which are all unique in their poetic and delicate way, and at the same time dark appeal.

“We had a challenge to retain and accentuate all the delicate nuances of the photos. We have used Artglass™ before, when we framed especially valuable artworks. For us it is the best choice for picture framing, because it has improved transmission and it protects the artworks against the damaging UV rays. We are proud that this premium quality glass is manufactured in Latvia and we are grateful for support from the Groglass® team”, comments Astrīda Riņķe – the founder and sole director of Alma Gallery.

Company Groglass® is honoured to support young and talented artists and wishes Andris Eglītis success and new achievements.

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
