Zhang Jianjun’s work, “Vestiges of a Process: Shanghai Garden,” is on view at the Asian Art Museum from February 5 – September 12, 2010. “Vestiges of a Process: Shanghai Garden” is situated closest to Lee Gallery the east side of North Court. It is an installation composed of two silicone rubber Taihu rocks, manufactured from molds of real Taihu rocks which in traditional garden culture are prized for providing city dwellers with a kind of symbolic access to nature. The rocks are accompanied by a silicone rubber vase. Together they are arrayed atop a pavement of gray antique bricks, acquired from the demolition of Shanghai houses constructed between 1923 and 1926. Visitors can walk between the rocks, reflecting on time and process.

This excerpt discusses Material Preparation and handling of plastics, including mixing of plastic material and additives (such as impact modifiers, fillers, flame retardants, mold release agents, plasticizers, reinforcements, heat stabilizers, lubricants and colorants), using dessicant dryers for material drying and dew meters for evaluating the moisture content of a plastic material. Our Injection Molding Basics series provides participants with a general understanding of the three major aspects of injection molding; the injection molding machine, the molding process, and the injection mold. These programs use 3D animation to demonstrate the inner workings of the machine and mold and to easily convey otherwise complex concepts. Important safety precautions are stressed throughout these training programs. A. Routsis Associates – Complete Training Solutions for the Plastics Industry.
