---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE VOICE OF ART IN A BATTLE FOR FREEDOM "FREEDOM & ART" A collaborative book project

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. Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK, and USA.   Artist page ---------------------------------------------------------   Anders, Dagmar-Austria Andersen, Luise USA Asztalos, Kriztina-Hungary Baistrocchi, Giulio-Italy Baiwir, Leopold- Belgium Bayer Domanoski, Linda-USA Begerhotta, Manvendra-India Bonnici, Martin- Australia Breig, Renee-Sweden Cavalli, Luiz-Brazil Chavez, Daniel-USA Chicago, Kim-USA Cousins, Scott Jeffrey-USA Danette, Kimberley-USA D'Assumpcao, Alberto-Portugal Davidson, Mick-UK & the Netherlands Dickerson, Rickie-USA Erdos, Aniko-Hungary Eryk, Mark-USA Evans,Leo-USA Fangano, Alessio-Germany Flaitz, Carol-USA Follows, Andrew-Australia Fortia, Adel-Libya Gador, Maciej-Poland Goldberg, Carla- USA Gollapudi,Narasimha Murthy-India Gordon Harris,Cassandra-USA Guna, Bianka-Canada Heaslip, Nicoll-Australia HEGO-Germany Hodeib, Inaya- Lebanon Ideta, Goh- Japan Kinsey, Doug-USA Kitipov, Angel-Bulgaria Koedijk, Rob-the Netherlands Konstantinova, Svetlana- Russia Krol, Piotr-Poland Lemaitre, Isabelle-Italy Lennox, Owen-UK Lensen, Carla-the Netherlands Longueville,Laurence-Switzerland Mahuba, Ali-Malaysia & USA Malcom, Alison-UK Martin, Donna-USA McCabe, Midori-USA Moore, Brad Michael-USA Murphy, Don W.-USA Murphy, Linda-USA Oathman, Tourya-USA Oeser, Dagmar-Germany Prestegaard, Elly- Norway Petre, Catherine-Belgium Renouf, Naomi-UK Rimell, Bruce-UK Roldan, Pilar-Spain Selvon, Serge-Germany Severin, Constantin- Romania Singh, Prem-India Staples, Christopher-USA Steckbauer, Melissa-USA Steens, Anette-Norway Stromberg, Annika-Sweden Thomas, Simon-Sweden Tunedal, Katarina- Sweden Tunedal, Stefan-Sweden Tschaikowski, Anatoli-German Urum, Evrensel-Turkey Urum, Sevgi-Turkey Vaganov, Igor-Russia van der Merwe, Belinda-South Africa Ward Kelly, Stacey-USA Winchester, Elizabeth-USA Yoon, Mimi-USA Contact Information: Email: mircabook@yahoo.com Carla Goldberg, Editor USA Phone: 845-222-0177 web: www.mirca-art.com Mail: Mirca Art Group Box 29 S-142 21 Skogهs, Sweden Phone: +46-8-771 11 19    The book cover Can find information a bout the book on the link following... http://www.mirca-art.com/pressrelease.pdf   Can find more information on how to buy the book here... http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/367936   ------------------------------------------------------------------ A special statement about freedom and art  for  Adel Fortia One should have absolute freedom in creating one's Art . i believe that it is necessary to always search for freedom .
