Los Angeles (July 18, 2012) – Saatchi Online, a global platform for emerging artists, announces today the launch of 100 CURATORS 100 DAYS, a major initiative that recognizes 1,000 artists for their outstanding work. Beginning Wednesday, July 18, every day for 100 days Saatchi Online will reveal one curator’s selection of ten artists to be included in the largest exhibit of its kind. The curators have made their selections from over 60,000 artists that are currently exhibited on Saatchi Online. The entire list of curators for 100 CURATORS 100 DAYS can be viewed July 18 at www.saatchionline.com/100curators.

The 100 curators selected for the Saatchi Online project by Rebecca Wilson, Director of the Saatchi Gallery, London and Board Member of Saatchi Online, represent the world’s most prestigious museums and galleries. They include:

The stamp of approval from these curators provides a tremendous benefit to both artists and collectors. Artists who are selected will enjoy greater visibility and recognition, while first-time buyers as well as seasoned collectors will gain confidence in buying art online, by having experienced curators handpick and validate great emerging talent.

This is the inaugural exhibit under the helm of Saatchi Online’s new CEO, Margo Spiritus. “Our mission at Saatchi Online is to provide all artists with the tools, opportunity and support to have sustainable careers and to make a living selling their art. By providing a global platform visited by art lovers from over 190 countries each month, we are able to connect consumers and curators alike who would otherwise never have the opportunity to discover their work,” says Spiritus.

Saatchi Online was started by the Saatchi Gallery in London in 2006 in order to help artists without gallery representation to find an audience for their work. It is estimated that over 1 million artists across the globe aren’t represented by galleries. Saatchi Online provides these talented artists with a platform to showcase and sell their work in an environment with an excellent reputation for introducing outstanding artists.

The Language Habitat: an Ecopoetry Manifesto

The Language Habitat: an Ecopoetry Manifesto By James Engelhardt Ecopoetry is connection. It’s a way to engage the world by and through language. This poetry might be wary of language, but at its core believes that language is an evolved ability that comes from our bodies, that is close to the core of who we are in the world. Ecopoetry might borrow strategies and approaches from postmodernism and its off-shoots, depending on the poet and their interests, but the ecopoetic space is not a postmodern space. An ecopoem might play with slippages, but the play will lead to further connections. Ecopoetry does share a space with science. One of the concerns of ecopoetry is non-human nature (it shares this concern with the critical apparatus it borrows from, ecocriticism). It certainly shares that concern with most of the world’s history of poetry: How can we connect with non-human nature that seems so much more, so much larger than ourselves? How can we understand it? One way

Satın Alınamayan Ortak Kader “Yeni Normal”

Yeni normal.Şu günlerde oldukça duyduğumuz bu kavram  tuhaf ve ıssız olan bir uzamda huzursuzluğun kaygıya doğru  birleşme yarattığı noktada var olmakta.İçimizde bulunduğumuz gerçeklik şimdilerde böyle tarif ediliyor.Acaba gerçekten böyle mi? Yeni ve normal mi?Yeni olan gerçeklik acaba normalleştirici mi?  Bugünlerde çoğu insan nasıl normalleşeceğimiz konusunda tartışıyor, kakafonik tarzda bu tartışmalar hiçbir  şeyin eskisi gibi olmayacağını ifade eden gürültülü haber bültenlerine yakın benzerlikte yorumlarla beraber buharlaşıyor.Aslında anlamların, kavramların,temsillerin ağına yakalanan  vahşi anlamsız  bedenler olduğumuz gerçeği (Erasmusvari tabiriyle bir  “homo bulla”)ile karşı karşıyayız.Bunun yanı sıra insan hayatında korku ve izalosyonun tam ortasındayken derin ve olumlu bir değişim olabileceği inancıyla uyanıyoruz.Kapitalizmin rasyonalitesi ve şiddetli sonuçları olan ırkçılık, cinsiyetçilik ve eşitsizlikle karşı karşıya kalan insanlar olarak kendi “elleriyle” işledikler
