DIVINING THE DREAM


“Divining the Dream” is about remembering, reclaiming and rejoicing in our common divinity. It is a thought provoking quest for love.

I have woven the poetry and art of sixty artists and twenty-five poets together with my own, to produce this global expression of love.

chose material inspired by dreams, meditations, archetypal stories and icons, social and ecological situations and trance states.
Vishnu, Buddah and Christ can be seen peacefully frequenting the same image or stanza.

The Goddess unfolds as Maiden, Mother and Crone.

Pan dances with Amazonian shamans.

Insects, snakes, animals and fish are respected.

The elements are revered.

Our Universal Consciousness is honored.

The book has no chapters, but quite shortly you might note that it follows the romance of our divine mother and father as they weave the wheel of the year. Moving through the solstices, equinoxes and the forgotten holydays which originally marked the beginning of our four seasons, we follow both their dance and our own heart. Dancing in the same rhythm, through our familiar humanstory, from birth to growth, decline to death, we rise so high and dip so low. We are on a hero’s journey: harvesting lessons and revelations.

Painters Aloria Weaver and David Heskin along with Delvin Solkinson (editor of CoSM Journal) have gifted the book by proofing it with me.

 

As a gift to the community I have organized an itinerant show of participating artists and also a visionary conference for 2013. At the conference there will be the book and exhibit launch, concerts, networking and presentations from:

Brigid Marlin

Carrie Ann Baade

Michael Divine

Bruce Rimell

Marc Henson

Leo Plaw and others

 

Profits from sales of this book will help pay logistical costs.

We are reclaiming the power, the vision and the love needed to pull us into a new and constructive age.

The book is available for 35 or 40 euros including shipping. (depending on the shipping destination):

de es news: massive group exposure

de es news: massive group exposure - by De Es Schwertberger

There are four groupexhibitions of fantastic-visionary artists, running at the same time, where i have attendet the festive openings and had the enjoyable opportunitiy to hang out with artist-friends and to make new ones. A spirit of a common cause is present, which gathers forces to break through into a larger public not only consisting of other artists and each artists personal entourage. It is the exposure to the "larger public"which will generate new collectors and sales. A shift from the "starving artists syndrome" to a position of "creating out of abundance" will certainly help to multiply the visibility of an art that deserves to be called art.

The shows are curated by artists who participate in them and not by highranking curators affiliated with museums , art fairs, galleries and art-halls. Also the showlocations are initiated independently from the socalled art world . Not only is there is an incredible massive display of contemporarty art of the other kind in the virtual showcases of social networks and platforms, now there is also a vital force that claims space in social and cultural reality.

This is good news : we are becoming a new art world, a parallel universe of contemporary art.

Curators and organisers : Prof. Philip Jacobson Rubinov, Olga Spiegel, Miguel Tio and France Garrido, Reinhard Schmid, Hanno Karlhuber. Thank you for all your tedious work you put into making these shows possible!
