Corrections Theme
As artists, we often express our feelings and thoughts concerning injustices, abuses of power, good and evil, or just the way we would like the Earth to be. Even if it’s only our own little corner of the world or in our own heart and soul. Making corrections, righting wrongs. This exhibit is dedicated to that theme. An example of a “wrong” could be a polluted landscape, political or governmental abuses, ignorance and lies, war scene or a disaster. An example of a “right” (a correction) could represent or express any situation that has been corrected. The work can be of any style or media: representational, abstract or conceptual.
Corrections Exhibit
The exhibit will also include visitor participation. Attendees can write down something that they feel needs correcting. Such as: abuses of any kind, overpopulation, corporate greed, political corruption, or whatever one wishes - global, national, local, or personal. They could then feed this Wrong into a paper shredder that would be set up in the gallery. (Something will be posted stating that only Wrongs that are NOT motivated by anger, hatred, bigotry/intolerance, or jealousy/envy should be fed into this shredder.)
We will also have a secondary shredder to receive petty or selfish concerns – just so people can get these things “off their chest” or just to get rid of the negative emotions that they are causing a person to harbor. At the end of the opening reception, our "court jester" will read aloud some of the Wrongs to be righted. In olden days, the king's court jester was the only one who could present truths in public before the king - without losing his head.
Summary
As artists, we can’t raise money the way musicians can, but we can raise awareness and focus. This one exhibit won't change the world, but at least we artists can stand together and hopefully get some attention paid to what we'd like to see corrected. The state of the world these days often seems so grim and hopeless, terribly out of balance, in desperate need of some "magic." Some Magic... and some Truth.
Artists

"Freedom and Art: Artists Thoughts on Freedom"
2008-09-06 until 2008-12-31
Micra Art Group
Skogas, , SE Sweden
Mirca Art Group based out of Skogås, Sweden is pleased to announce the publication of its first and long awaited book: "Freedom and Art". A collaborative work of 78 international artists, this book deals with the thoughts of the
participants on Freedom along with their art, inspired by that gift. Group founder Stefan Tunedal, wanted this book to be a true act of freedom. Thus each participating artist will purchase the book and “set it free” in a public place!
Four artists who will be participating in the book: Brad Michael Moore, Cassandra Gordon-Harris, Luise Andersen and Carla Goldberg, who compiled the information and created the publication.
Amnesty International is sponsoring the book on its website, as proceeds from the sale will be donated to that
organization, keeping true the intent of this collaboration.
The book will be released for sale to the public on September 6, 2008- International Read a Book Day - and can
be obtained from the bookstore at http://www.blurb.com
Freedom and Art
20.00 USD/ (approx. 12.60 Euro), plus taxes and shipping.
18 x 18 cm or 7 x 7 inches
(ISBN number is: 978-91-977701-0-1)
(*) Addition Statement:
The Voice of Art in a Battle for Freedom represents International artists create book in support of key political figure. On October 2nd, 2008, the Mirca Art Group, an international coalition of professional artists, will release their landmark collaborative effort, a book entitled Freedom & Art, to the public. The book features 74 works of art, each accompanied by a short statement about the synergy of freedom and art in our world, and is being sold to raise funds in support of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a key political figure who has been under house arrest in Myanmar (formerly Burma) for the past 18 years over her bid for political freedom.
The book will be released to the public initially through an event called “Set a Book Free” on Mahatma Gandhi’s Birthday, October 2nd when all artists featured within the pages of the book will place a copy donated by Internet-based publishing site Blurb.com in a public location to raise interest.
The project was born out of artmesh, a social media website that allows artists to network via forums and groups, similar to the way users interact on social mega-site Facebook.com. Swedish founder Stefan Tunedal created the Mirca Art Group as a private forum within artmesh that would focus on fostering art-orientated discussions in an open, tolerant atmosphere. The Mirca Art group eventually grew to include nearly 250 artists from six continents and over thirty countries. Aung San Suu Kyi and her battle for freedom – a passion of Tunedal’s – became a rallying cause for the group and is the inspiration for the book.
According to Carla Goldberg, US-based coordinator and senior editor for Freedom & Art, the book was meant to harness the energy and passion of the artists for Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi into an actionable
strategy to aid in her release. On the effort to work with artists from around the world, Carla says, “The project has brought our group together in a whole new way. There has been a lot of wonderful back-and-forth on message boards and everyone has been willing to offer their individual talents where needed.” On the effort to assemble the work of the artists together, she says, "It has been like assembling a beautiful puzzle...each piece is unique and, in the end, everything has fit together to create a complete work of art."
After its initial release to the public in October the book will be available for sale through the official website of Amnesty International and Amazon.com. All proceeds from the sale of the book Freedom & Art will be donated to Amnesty International to support efforts being made on behalf of Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi's . A traveling exhibit featuring a selection of the art published in the book is also planned. It will open February 14, 2009, at the Mount Beacon Fine Arts Gallery in Beacon, NY.
“I wanted to see what I can do from this safe studio in Stockholm where it would be impossible to even think of imprisoning an elected (official)," says Tunedal when asked about his passion for the plight Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi. “A woman like her should not be treated like this. She has the right to be free," adds Hungarian artist Krisztina Asztalos, writing from the other side of Europe. "Aung San Suu Kyi's efforts...are an inspiration for the many people throughout the world who are striving to attain democracy, human rights and ethnic conciliation."
By working together in the spirit of global collaboration, these artists have become a united voice of hope and pierced places where freedom has failed with the liberating power of artistic expression.
There are 74 Mirca artists from 27 countries represented.

I have exhibited, since the late 1970's, in both Solo and Group exhibitions in North America and Mexico. I've most recently exhibited in New York, and am set to exhibit 2 & 3-D works in San Francisco and New York, in the Spring (2009). I mostly accept invitations.

It is not the same in the art world today as the in times I grew up within, professionally, 38 years ago. Electronic and Internet exhibitions, of many statures, have now sprung up all around the world. They engage artist's ideas and renderings via the constituting of exhibitions, and reforming the role of art's presence in these contemporary times. I have had my share of hanging on walls for finite periods. Now I get flashed on screens, uploaded, downloaded, stolen from (then & now), copied, incorporated, borrowed from, and pondered over - all the while, I may be on a walk down my country road, or sleeping.
