LIBERARTI.ORG NEWSLETTER

liberarti lounge.01
The first thing to say is a big thanks to all those who took part in the
last liberarti lounge. The lounge was spread over two hotel rooms in the
Adelphi Hotel and was viewable all weekend. We had a wide range of artists
come in at a wide range of hours, some to look at some of the art and others
to come and sit with others.
On show were a number of xeroxed images either from the website or posted to
us, these were stuck around the walls and handed out along with the art
objects also posted in. There were performances from robots and humans,
artists and poets all keen to share their art with anyone who was there.
Continuing each night until late, when the hotel staff would shut us down
the lounge would shed its shell and meander through the corridors to another
artists room for the process to start again.
Such was the impression liberarti.org (as part of the aconvention) left with
its public the broadsheets got involved and liberarti.org was mentioned in
October 31st edition of The Guardian.

liberarti lounge.02
The latest manifestation of liberarti lounge will be in Plymouth, UK on the
night of December 16th at the Barbican Theatre's BBar. It is set to be a
popular event with plenty of interest from local artists who have been
called through the local newspaper and poster campaigns. In addition to this
there are artists submitting work through liberarti.org to be disseminated
at the event. The rule of non-curation that frames liberarti.org means local
artists can exhibit next to internationally renowned artists on a level
footing. Being a gift economy the liberarti lounge ensures no piece is given
any monetary value so it may be handed out free.
There will of course be some performances (two have already been submitted),
short films, net art, xeroxed art and poetry. All are invited to attend and
all are invited to participate so if you have any art you want to show /swap
/ give away, whatever the medium, whatever the message, see if you can swap
you art for someone else's, or just give it away.

This is therefore an official invite to either submit work online, by post.
