Got something to say to the Republicans?

 

 

Dear Friends,

 

This September, the Republicans are meeting in Saint Paul, Minnesota, September 1-4, 2008, to nominate candidates for president and vice-president of the United States and to create their political platform.

 

The Republicans, as you may remember, are the ones that brought the citizens of the United States (and the citizens of the world) such delights as the war in Iraq, the current economic recession, flagrantly increased national debt, and a lack of timely response to global warming. They are also creators of the current impasse with national healthcare, the debacle in New Orleans and Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina, the stalemate with NAFTA reform, decreasing immigrant rights, tax cuts for the rich, and blatant, far-reaching government corruption.

 

So how do you feel about all that? Want to express yourselves? Well, we want to help you.

 

Grupo Soap del Corazón is a Latino artists’ group based out of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul. We have a nine-year history of cultural and social activism here in Minnesota and in North and South America. Our work has been seen by thousands of people in galleries, museums, non-profits, and alternative art spaces as well as on the walls and telephone poles of many communities. (For more on the history of Grupo Soap, see our website: www.myspace.com/gruposoapdelcorazon). We are organizing an international poster project, to take place on the streets of your town (wherever you are) and on the streets of our town. As you may know, political posters have a long and varied international history (www.politicalgraphics.org) and have been an effective way for artists to effect change. We are hoping to inspire posters and postering throughout the world…  in Spain, Chile, Ireland, Norway, India, Mexico, Germany, etc – and also throughout the U.S. Here’s how you can be a part of our efforts:

 

1.    Make a poster. Anything expressing your viewpoint on the coming U.S. election, the Republican convention, the state of the United States, it’s role in the world, and the state of that world.

 

2.    Create the poster any way you want.

 

3.    Minimum size for the poster is 11”x17”.

 

4.    You must print a minimum run of 8 posters. The posters must be multi-run prints: one-of-a-kind works of art will not be accepted. A minimum of 5 must be placed out in your community, on walls, on telephone poles, in windows, etc.

 

5.    A minimum of 3 of the posters must be sent to Grupo Soap del Corazón and arrive by August 30th, 2008. 1 poster will be in an art exhibit that we create and, later, our archive. 1 poster will be sent to the Center for the Study of Political Graphics. The rest will be used to poster the streets of the Twin Cities before, during, and after the Republican convention.

 

6.    To be part of this effort, you must also send us at least one digital image of your poster on walls, telephone poles, etc in YOUR community. Send them to artjones@bitstream.net.

 

7.    Digital of all posters posted out in your community will be put up on our website: myspace.com/gruposoapdelcorazon.

 

8.    There will be an exhibition of ALL the posters, most likely opening in October for the end of the campaign season. Right now we are in negotiations with the California Gallery in Northeast Minneapolis. We will announce the show on our myspace site by September 15th, 2008.

 

9.    Send your posters to:

 

Grafica Politica #2

Grupo Soap del Corazon

c/o Douglas Padilla

304 2nd Street NE           

Minneapolis, MN  55413

 

10. Please spread the word. Email around to other artists and encourage them to participate. We especially urge you to encourage artists in countries outside the U.S.A. – we want the world’s voices to be heard here.

 

11. We will pay special attention to anyone who organizes a group of artists and sends in digital and posters as a group. Additionally, groups will get extra acknowledgement in the exhibition.

 

 

So, poster your town with your thoughts and feelings – and we’ll help you poster ours.

¿Tienes algo que decirles a los Republicanos?

 
 
Queridos amigos,
 
Este septiembre, los Republicanos tendrán una convención en St. Paul, Minnesota, (del 1 al 4 de septiembre del 2008), para nominar a los candidatos para la presidencia y la vicepresidencia de los Estados Unidos y para crear su plataforma política.
 
Los Republicanos, como recordarás, son los que han brindado a los ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos (y a los ciudadanos del mundo) la guerra contra Irak, la actual resección económica, el incremento de la deuda interna nacional y la falta de una respuesta al calentamiento global. Ellos, también son los creadores del estancamiento del sistema nacional de salud y de la reforma con el TLC (NAFTA), el deterioro de los derechos de los inmigrantes, cortes de impuestos para los ricos y una inminente corrupción en el gobierno.
 
¿Cómo se hace sentir todo esto? ¿Quiere expresarlo? Nosotros le queremos ayudar.
 
El Grupo Soap del Corazón es un grupo de artistas latinos con base en las ciudades gemelas de Minneapolis y St. Paul. Tenemos un historial de nueve años de activismo cultural y social en Minnesota, en Norteamérica y Sudamérica. Nuestro trabajo ha alcanzado a miles de personas en galerías, museos, instituciones sin fines de lucro y en espacios alternativos, así como en paredes y postes de teléfono en las calles de muchas comunidades. (Para más información acerca del grupo, visite nuestra página Web: www.myspace.com/gruposoapdelcorazon). Actualmente estamos organizando un proyecto internacional de cartel, que se llevará a cabo en las calles de su ciudad (dondequiera que te encuentres) y en las calles de nuestra ciudad. Como tal ves sabrá el cartel político tiene una larga historia internacional (www.politicalgraphics.org) y ha sido un elemento fundamental para los artistas que buscan un cambio. Esperamos inspirar a los artistas a crear carteles y a pegarlos por todo el mundo… España, Chile, Irlanda, Noruega, India, México, Alemania, etc. y también en los Estados Unidos. Debajo le diremos cómo participar:
 
Diseña un cartel. Cualquier pensamiento que exprese tu punto de vista para las elecciones presidenciales de los Estados Unidos, la convención republicana, la situación política de los Estados Unidos y su implicación en el mundo y la situación actual de mundo.
Crea un cartel en la manera que te sea posible.
Tamaño mínimo del cartel será 11”X17”.
Deberás imprimir al menos 8 carteles. El cartel tendrá que ser reproducible: carteles únicos, originales no serán aceptados. Un mínimo de cinco carteles deberán pegarse en tu comunidad: paredes públicas, postes telefónicos, ventanas. etc.
Deberás mandar un mínimo de 3 carteles al Grupo Soap del Corazón para el 30 de agosto de 2008. Uno de estos tres carteles será enviado al Center for the Study of Political Graphics. El resto se colocarán en las calles de la Ciudades Gemelas, antes, durante y después de la convención republicana.
Para ser parte de este esfuerzo tendrás que mandar una imagen digital de tu cartel colocado en las calles de tu ciudad o en tu comunidad. Favor de enviarla a artjones@bitsream.net.
Las imágenes digitales de tu cartel en la calle, tendrán vida en nuestra página Web: myspace.com/gruposoapdelcorazon.
En octubre de 2008 tendremos una exhibición de todos los carteles. En este momento estamos en pláticas con la galería California en el noreste de Minneapolis. Anunciaremos la exhibición en myspace el 15 de septiembre de 2008.
Manda tus carteles a:
                                          Grafica Política #2

                                           Grupo Soap del Corazón

                                           304 2nd Street NE

                                           Minneapolis, MN 55413

 Corre la voz al mundo entero. Envía correos electrónicos a otros artistas y anímalos a participar. Especialmente a los artistas que residan fuera de los Estados Unidos. Queremos que esas voces se escuchen aquí.
Pondremos atención especial a cualquiera que pueda organizar un grupo de artistas y que mande su trabajo como grupo. Estos grupos tendrán reconocimiento especial durante la exhibición.
 

Así que a trabajar, empapela tu ciudad con tus pensamientos y tus sentimientos y nosotros te ayudaremos a empapelar nuestra ciudad.

		<description>Thanks for writing about that!!

The dollar is sinking because our individual and corporate economies have come to be based on credit.

The US economy is being eaten up by war (with some rich profiting off death) and our job is supposed to be propping it up by shopping.

That&#039;s bullshit!

Slugbug, http://www.silencedmajority.blogs.com where we wrote &quot;What Would Jesus Buy&quot; and another piece about downtown Seattle on Black Friday.

It was nuts having the malls open at 5 AM or even midnight and having Canadians rush down, Europeans fly over - just for our bargains.

We are becoming a Banana Republic.</description>
