Planet Earth Planet Art

A collaboration between Mirca Art Group and Bruce Rimell

On 1st March, internationally acclaimed Mirca Art Group releases its second major art book, Planet Earth Planet Art, in support of the environmental and social grassroots network Friends Of The Earth International.

Ninety-five artists present their artwork as a voice raised to bring awareness of the urgent problems of the imbalanced lifestyles and unsustainable environmental consumption we humans face, accompanied by a personal statement which brings the clarity of the artist to these problems. These artists come from a huge variety of nations and thus this book is truly a global voice, with contributions from East and West, from the developed and developing worlds.

Delightfully presented in an elegantly designed 208-page coffee-table book format, this collection of contemporary artforms ranges from the abstract to the photographic, the visionary to the spectacular, and is prefaced by a wonderful poem (quoted above) entitled Make Art, Not War from Nnimmo Bassey, the Chair of Friends Of The Earth International.

Mirca Action: We Turn Our Backs On Vanity Galleries

A vanity gallery is an art gallery that charges artists fees in order to exhibit their work and makes most of its money from artists rather than from sales. They are called vanity galleries because they aim at the artist's vanity.

With this postcard 19 Mirca members show what they think of vanity galleries. The design is inspired by the 1929 print including the 16 surrealists.
