Are you saying that there should be a freedom not to discuss anstract art? Because it somehow belongs in a realm of untouchable specialness You guys should wake up and realize that there´s life after politics. Don´t think I deserve any more of your grilling. Try to find another subject to engage in such combat debates. Not interested. Have better things to do. I´ve only posted my Color survey on NetBehaviour because I need statistics for my newest project. I hope you respond to the survey. It would be cool to have your PERSONAL OPINION solely on the COLOR subject. Thanks, good luck, cool down and try not to believe everything the theorics tell you Montserrat Bru chairperson Zumzum Gallery.Emerging Arts head curator Digital Power Poetry On Sat, May 16, 2009 at 12:42 PM, isabel brison <[email protected]> wrote: Hello, I was wondering if there is anything new about apolitical art.

Cool that you think that you´re doing "the most interesting, dynamic and exciting emerging art". Cool that you got me engaged here, answering your email about making politics, because Politics is all you think about, isn´t it? Cool that I´ve decided to work in something completely different. Emergency in concept and quality. Yes, Zumzum Gallery´s criteria is intrinsically autonomous, non tendencial and apolitical and our purpose is to promote real emerging arts created by emerging artists, understanding emerging as original, different and new. Our productions are always art installations/sets. New TechArts and Digital Poetry. This is what we do. I don´t dig in Ars politica-Ars contrapolitica. Question of choice, allow me! That´s why I would never promote any of it. Not in my scope. Been going on forever. As a matter of fact, this kind of art has been supported by churches and politicians and any other source of power and contrapower. I´m far more interested in presenting new interactive and creative options to the world. Cool too! And yes, under 30 artists are the ones who really need our support. Call it positive discrimination, if you want. Cool too! Now, to your last question: Zumzum Gallery do not need to belong or follow any political doctrine. We feel freer than free with our criteria. Like I said, we chose to keep autonomous, non tendencial and apolitical and focus in real, emerging options, as we understand them. There´s no political censorship at all in the part of the world I come from. Europe. Cannot say the same of India, where I´m now temporarily located. Censorship over here is fierce in any kind of issue. Anyhow, we managed to organize the international symposium Digital Power Poetry successfully, which is great. http://www.digitalpowerpoetry.com/ By the way, I hope you did the survey on Color, thanks! It would be great if you could forward the link to the Color survey to any school, university, home for the elderly, etc. I´ll be needing at least 5000 answers to be accurate and I value greatly the feedback of the youngest and the oldest, as I get very few responses from them. Thanks for your help Best regards Montserrat Bru chairperson Zumzum Gallery.

For me, the most interesting, dynamic and exciting emerging art has some form of political thought somewhere in its make-up. I am worried that your decision to only have younger artists who are not doing anything that includes political concepts is cutting out an awful lot of excellent talent... I am wondering, is it dangerous in your part of the world to allow creative people to refer to anything political? looking forward to your answers. karen - 33 years of old age.
