PRESS RELEASE
*************
"A Virtual Memorial" and
"Le Musee di-visioniste"
are happy to launch the online exhibition

"Mirror at the Bottom -
Artists portraiting themselves"

curated by Agricola de de Cologne.

"Artists' self-portraits belong to the most fascinating artistic formats
since here the viewer gets a lot of more information about an artist than
through his working in other type of formats.
The view through the mirror at the bottom offers a critical reflection
either connected to an ideal image or its contrary.
153 artists submitted about 300 works. Each artist represents in his
individuality a different unique approach to self-reflection and to art as
such.
This online show encompasses a wide range of media and individual styles.
It represents a composition from virtual, net based "new media" to
traditional, physical
"old media" (but digitalized) artworks, and, in this way, an art work of
itsown."

The exhibition will run during July and August on A Virtual Memorial
www.a-virtual-memorial.org or alternatively
www.nmartproject.net/cur/mirror/index.html
in the framework of "Features of the Month"
and in September/October on
Le Musee di-visioniste www.le-musee-divisioniste.org
in the framework of "Featured Projects",
and will remain online for permanent, afterwards.
