  “Freedom & Art” book - released to the public

  Mirca Art Group based out of Skogås, Sweden, is pleased to announce the publication of its first and long awaited book: "Freedom and Art".
  
  It can be obtained from the bookstore at
  
  http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/367936
  
  Title: Freedom and Art
  20.00 USD/ (approx. 13.50 Euro), plus taxes and shipping.
  18 x 18 cm or 7 x 7 inches
  (ISBN number is: 978-91-977701-0-1).
  
  A collaborative work of 78 artists from 27 countries, this book deals with the thoughts of the participants on freedom along with their art, inspired by that gift. Group founder, Stefan Tunedal, wanted this book to be a true act of freedom. Thus each participating artist purchased the book and “set it free” in a public place on Mahatma Gandhi’s Birthday, on October 2nd, 2008. A traveling exhibit featuring a selection of the art published in the book is also planned. It will open on January 6th (till March 8th) 2009, at the Mount Beacon Fine Arts Gallery in Beacon, New York.
  
  Amnesty International is sponsoring the book on its website http://www.amnestyusa.org (see “Shop”), as proceeds from the sale will be donated to that organization in order to support Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, a key political figure who has been under house arrest in Myanmar (formerly Burma) for the past 18 years over her bid for political freedom.
  
  
  Kind regards
  
  Heinz “HEGO” Gövert, Germany (Ambassador of MIRCA ART GROUP)
