Syndicate: FW: SOLIDARITEA CON ANTE KUSTRE |
Dear friends, I have just received another Solidaritea e-mail. Soros action makes me really amused, but seems some others are trying to be more innovative. Anyhow, the problem of solidarity and the Internet... second run! best ana /-\/\//-\ P3R/-\1(/-\ Jan Van Eyck Academy Academieplein 1 6211 km Maastricht -free translation ana- ---------- From: "Ante Kustre" <ante.kustre@st.tel.hr> Reply-To: "Ante Kustre" <ante.kustre@st.tel.hr> Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 16:08:59 +0100 To: <ana.peraica@st.tel.hr> Subject: SOLIDARITEA CON BRIAN A message of solidarity with Brian I have send on 40 addresses. I am interested about solidarity with Antonio, who is our man, even more, it is me. Dear, respected welcome to a project "E, solidarite". Its goal is in determining the level of solidarity between Croats, as in country, as out of it. The project predominantly refers to people, that on this or the other way are working with arts and culture, and art in the media. Because the author of the project (signed down) is an artist and journalist, he is interested how the solidarity of the people from that branch is with ones in troubles. More concrete: with me! Today it is me, tomorrow someone else. From where to start, if not from oneself?!! And to how to address if not to you? I think I am in the worst financial and existential situation than all of you I am addressing to, as for this or that (in our milieu) you know. Already for two and a half year I am unemployed and without any income, for already months! I survive thanks to unselfish assisting of my employed sister, my mother (who is a house-wife) and father (an pensioner with a minimum pension). With us is living my sister's daughter. There are five of us, so, in troubles, because when the one is in troubles, the others are too. But solidarity is not in question! How is the solidarity among people that are not in a blood but in spiritual relation? That is what I am interested in. From collected sources and your works (on the topic UNEMPLOYMENT AND SOLIDARITY IN THE AGE OF VIRTUALITY) I am going to set the exhibition in Split, if I collect enough of contribution by sponsors an don the Internet. I would like to open it on 6th March 2001. on my own birthday. And I expect from you benevolent money contributions because I need them mostly, then your works, in all media, including textual and music. On the exhibition I would deliver statistical data on collaborators of project and collected resources. For example: how many of calls I sent and who many of people called up, how many of support I got, how many from Croatia, how many from the world, how many man, how many woman etc. Names of those that didn't reply to my call are not going to be stated, neither in initials, but are going to be denoted in numbers (statistically). As well the wish of those who want to be anonymous donators is going to be keep, as well as omitting the level of sent contribution, according to the will. The number of my giro-account at the Splitska Banka is 34400-620-21-15001534143, and number of the foreign transfer of money at the same bank is 34400-621-63- 7017/00-6241. My unique citizen number is: 0603855380068. My address (needed for the sending of money by post and for sending works) is : Vinkovacka 9, Split. My biography you can see on: www.artur-hr/galerija/kustre/market-think Warning: all recorded and resigned traveling tv-shows I done without a kuna of honorarium! Those were the times. All travels and exhibitions were sponsored, and small amounts I would spend on the realization of those projects. All video-film I made and directed on my own account, with the free montage of Toni Dropulic. Meanwhile split ATV emitted 40 minute music video film "Leningrad cowboys go into a Prague" in December 2000, and as well without a kuna of honorarium. Few days an exhibition "Meter square" finished I also contributed. I managed to sell two T-shirts (with my slogans and design of Florian Kliskic Floka), both for 150 kunas. Computer on which I write this is, lets be clear, property of my own niece. I am not the member of any political party. I don't have any properties. I am not married. I don't drive a car. I don't have a rich cousin in America. I am not prosecuted. I don't drink, I don't use drugs. I don't know what to say... Wish you all HAPPY NEW YE-ART! ante.kustre@st.tel.hr P.S.. Musicians, writers, and poor artists, I assume your reaction is going to be: "What is happening to this one, he asks for help from us, and we don't have enough.!? Why he does it, nevertheless? Because the solidarity among poor (in problems, pushed on the margin, not accepted) is what to them (or us) is most needed! WE are not going to solidarize with rich?! And what is going to happen to us if we are not solidare among us, on acts, not only on words?! I remember words of one prophet: "the word is going to decline when the flowers loose smell with a good act". You probably noticed the flowers already lost the smell. Take the roses on the Split's market and you' ll see where the world arrived. Further more, this project is going to have reflection in the public and media (you know I know to do that) and is going with a force of the example act well on the surround. It is going to open a deep problem of the society, make public more sensible, and imply the conscious of the problem for acting solidarity. Finally, did the time to be sensitive on problems of individuals in troubles, not only collected troubles arrived?! WE still didn't have the concert whose all income would go to someone who is existentially in problems because of unemployment. Only in split there is 50 000 of unemployed while Croatia has more than 400 000! Does a man need to have a cancer or step on the mine so he is going to have some charity action?! At the end, why are we not going to give a first good example in that direction? I am making this project, participate in it... P.S.. according to today's reaction, all negative (except one!) there is no reaction (ignoring), and I realized a need to writing this sentence more. Of course I expect your symbolic contribution is going to make my wallet fatter (I am not a dreamer !) but I expect that the value of your works is going to be bigger than the one of monetary contributions!. With out your money, I would have, as now, what to eat, as I had by now, but without your works what can I have on the exhibition?!
