After receiving more than 1000 submissions, ICAF and the famous Italian artist Enzo Mari created two distinct exhibitions to display the most powerful and creative pieces. One exhibit is at the Haus der Kunst The Haus der Kunst (literally House of Art) is an art museum in Munich, Germany. It is located at Prinzregentenstrasse 1 at the southern edge of the Englischer Garten, Munich's largest park. in Munich, Germany. Read more about this installation in this issue on pages 10-11. The second exhibit is by Enzo Mari--he exhibited his selections of the children's utopias at the Odeonplatz subway station in downtown Munich. Some of the pieces can be seen on these pages. When asked to interpret some of the children's art, Mr. Mari made many interesting observations. Let's have a look at what he said! When we think about "utopia"--a perfect place, which does not exist--it makes us think about our world. We start to look around and see what things are plentiful (there is a lot of it), and what things many people still don't have. Often people with lots of money, as well as those who want power, live very isolated from other people. They live in a technological and automated world--a "Cyborg-World"--and what is most important are things such as leisure, tourism, computers, the internet, the Internet, the, international computer network linking together thousands of individual networks at military and government agencies, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, industrial and financial corporations of all sizes, and commercial enterprises global market, and impassive "creativity". In other words Adv. 1. in other words - otherwise stated; "in other words, we are broke" put differently , they alienate To voluntarily convey or transfer title to real property by gift, disposition by will or the laws of Descent and Distribution, or by sale. For example, a seller may alienate property by transferring to a buyer a parcel of the seller's land containing a house, in themselves from others. Children risk becoming so fascinated by this technological and automated world that they are absorbed by it, and lose the ability to interact with other people. However, some children seen how dangerous it is to become isolated from the rest of the world--they have not lost their humanity. The see where the world is heading, and speak out through their artworks. Other children believe, and they are right to do so, that adults must work on the challenge of utopia. The voices of children and the efforts of adults must unite to change the future of our world. Enzo Mari bio Enzo Mari was born in Novara, Italy, in 1931.
