Tenth Issue
June 21-August 21, 2002
Millions of people living in millions of microcosms! Microcosms overlapping ... where? Where is the gateway from the micro to the macro? Where do we find a bridge between the two? And how will we embrace the paradox of individuality and community, especially when it has been beaten into our minds by Hollywood that the two are contradictory and mutually exclusive? |

The Bogside Artists
William Kelly, Tom Kelly, and Kevin Hasson, known collectively as The Bogside Artists, live in Derry City, Northern Ireland, where, on January 30, 1972, fourteen people were shot dead by the British army. Much of their art--paintings, photographs, and murals--addresses the history of violence and injustice in Northern Ireland. They are "dedicated to using painting as a means to objectify the past so that its unconscious hold is unravelled." They have been involved in the organization and creation of numerous commemorative projects and, individually, have shown their art in galleries throughout Ireland. |
