Keith Porter designed this ultramicrotome, which was built by instrument maker Josef Blum. Both this instrument and the Claude-Blum ultramicrotome could cut serial sections in ribbons. In 1953 a later version of the Porter Blum instrument, manufactured by Ivan Sorvall, became one of the first commercially available ultramicrotomes. (ca. 1950)

Claude-Blum Ultramicrotome
No full textClaude-Blum ultramicrotome, accession no. 197
Courtesy of the Merrill W. Chase Historic Instrument Collection
In the 1940s scientists first looked at biological material with electron microscopes. To prepare specimens so that they could be viewed clearly, Rockefeller researches developed microtomes that could cut slices as thin as one-tenth of micron. Albert Claude worked with instrument maker Josef Blum to build this ultramicrotome. The specimen was mounted on a turning disk, which advanced toward a stationary knife. The sections were collected on the surface of a water-filled trough in front of the knife. (late 1940s)

Ep. #185 - Andrew Blum
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Co-host Cymene reminisces this week about being the first intern hired by Wired magazine waaaay back in the day. Then (14:42) we are joined by journalist Andrew Blum (https://www.andrewblum.net)—the celebrated author of Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet—to talk about his new book, The Weather Machine (Ecco/HarperCollins, 2019). We dive deep into it, beginning with our “golden age” of meteorology, and its improved computer simulations. We talk about human presence within massive information infrastructures, his interest in place philosophy, balancing attentions to weather and climate, comparing weather banality vs. weather catastrophe; and, Andrew explains to us the different ways of interpreting the history of weather forecasting. From there we turn to the intersection of war and weather, how Cold War rivalry and internationalism helped shape the weather machine as a global cooperative project, and whether private corporations like Google and IBM will control the future of forecasting. Chemtrails and other weather conspiracies make an appearance, as does the secret Nazi invasion of Canada to build a weather station. We close talking about weather and sympathy and sharing storm stories

„Pismo uskrzydlonej ręki”, czyli Witkacy Heleny Blum Przyczynek do dyskusji o recepcji twórczości plastycznej Witkacego w kontekście surrealizmu
No full textHelena Blum was an art critic, museologist and art historian – one of the very first researchers of the world avant-garde and modern art in Poland. In 1932 she defended the first PhD. thesis in Poland about modern art, titled Currents in the constructional type in the modern Polish art. Since 1944 she lived in Krakow and was connected with the National Museum there. Between 1944 and 1965 she was first a custodian of the Polish Gallery of 20th-century Painting and Sculpture, and then its curator between 1965 and 1973. She created the collection of Polish modern art in that gallery, gathering the art of post-war Krakow artists as well as the art of Witkacy. In 1957 she organized the Formists group exhibition, where the art of Witkacy was also presented. Significantly, she was associated with the pre and post war avant-garde society of Krakow, who treated Witkacy as their Spiritual Father. It can be concluded, that Helena Blum co-created the image of Witkacy as an avant-garde artist, and that her role was essential also due to her position in the National Museum in Krakow and her ability to use the institution to promote her vision. It was Helena Blum, who was the commissioner of the monographic exhibition about Witkacy’s art organized in 1966, which strengthened the perception of Witkacy as a surrealist.Helena Blum była krytyczką sztuki, muzealniczką i historyczką sztuki – jedną z pierwszych badaczek awangardy światowej oraz polskiej sztuki nowoczesnej. W 1932 roku obroniła pierwszy w Polsce dotyczący tej ostatniej dziedziny doktorat pt. Kierunki o typie konstrukcyjnym w nowoczesnej sztuce polskiej. Od 1944 roku mieszkała w Krakowie, wiążąc się na długo z tamtejszym Muzeum Narodowym. W latach 1944–1965 była kustoszką Galerii Polskiej Malarstwa i Rzeźby XX wieku, a w latach 1965–1973 pełniła funkcję jej kuratorki. W muzeum tym stworzyła podstawowy zbiór polskiej sztuki nowoczesnej, gromadząc dzieła przede wszystkim powojennych artystów krakowskich, jak również Witkacego. W 1957 roku zorganizowała wystawę grupy formistów, na której zaprezentowano m.in. dzieła Stanisława Ignacego Witkiewicza. Co istotne, Blum była związana ze środowiskiem przedwojennych i powojennych krakowskich awangardzistów, które uważało Witkacego za swego ojca duchowego. Wszystko wskazuje przy tym na to, że Helena Blum była współtwórczynią promowanego przez to środowisko wizerunku Witkacego jako artysty awangardowego, a jej rola okazała się istotna m.in. z uwagi na pozycję, jaką zajmowała w krakowskim Muzeum Narodowym i możliwość wykorzystania tej instytucji do promowania swej wizji. To właśnie Helena Blum była komisarzem wystawy monograficznej Witkacego zorganizowanej w 1966 roku, która przyczyniła się do ugruntowania jego wizerunku jako surrealisty
