lunes, 15 de febrero de 2010

Tema: PEZ

Convocatoria: PEZ
El símbolo del pez estaba virtualmente atado a una serie de antiguas deidades Lunares, debido a esta órbita lunar que gobierna el mar y las mareas, como según Plinio, junto con la intercesión de los Cielos, también se volvió una profesión sostenida exclusivamente por mujeres que promulgaron los cambios de estaciones y la cosecha, así como el diseño de calendarios que predecían eclipses y prediciendo el futuro
El símbolo del pez normalmente es encontrado como un emblema de Cristiandad, pero sus orígenes incluso quedan bastante antes del nacimiento de Cristo. La forma estilizada de un pez construida de cortar los arcos tiene sus raíces en la sagrada geometría de Pythagoras.
La referencia literaria conocida más temprana al ichthys (= pez) también se ve en primeras catacumbas del siglo en Roma. Se usó como un código confidencial en los días tempranos de Cristiandad, cuando los cristianos eran perseguidos. Permitía identificar al amigo del enemigo. Al hablar con alguien que ellos no estaban seguros, un cristiano dibujaría uno la mitad del ichthys en la tierra y si la otra persona completara la figura, se asumía que ellos eran fidedignos .
La era de Cristiandad ha sido la Edad de Piscis, la señal del pez. Cada edad astrológica dura aproximadamente 2100 años. Ahora estamos entrando en la Era de Acuario.

AFABW 2010 “Call For Mail Art”

Hollywood: Artists For A Better World International is calling upon global artists to send their mail art to AFABW by July 13, 2010.  This mail art campaign honors artists as well as the establishment of an international holiday for the arts, referred to as “ART DAY,” which is celebrated on the second Friday in each August.  (This year’s 12th annual Art Day falls on August 13, 2010). “Mail Art” includes hand-decorated postcards, cards and/or envelopes that are sent through global postal services.
What does Mail Art look like? As the artist, you decide. Mail Art is essentially art using the postal service as the medium.
Founder of the Art Day holiday, Becky Mate says “Mail Art can be sent to anyone, and is all about opening your mail and finding a postcard from an artist. It is friendly, compact, instant joy.” Additionally, she encourages all to send their mail art to AFABW by July 13, 2010.

Postmarked 2010 6th Annual International Mail Art Exhibition and Silent Auction Fundraiser

Requesting your original mail art for display and sale to raise funds for The Claremont Forum's Prison Library Project, which sends thousands of books free to inmates throughout the country. Hundreds of volunteers package books (donated to the Project by our local community), which are then mailed in response to inmate letters requesting reading material while incarcerated. For many years, The Claremont Forum received these requests in hand-illustrated envelopes created by the prisoners who sent them. It is in this tradition that we present POSTMARKED as our very appropriate fundraiser. Please join us for this international event!
