third issue of emagazine

Walking the path of editing the third issue of emagazine,
it was clear that we had a great deal of amazing projects to
exhibit pointing, in most cases, to different subjects and
themes, but no matter the underlying topic, all came to
complete the atmosphere of dialogue and collaboration we
wanted since the begening.
emagazine has deeply settled its approach as a social
minded publication and platform, this time featuring
Katarzyna´s project, Olympia, regarding her personal
experience with Hodgkin´s disease and how has she faced it
making a strong statement while combining – aesthetically
speaking- her work with Manet´s Olympia´s nudity. In
fact we wanted to go further, we wanted to add non-art
related opinions from people who has also suffered the
same circumstances: Kimberly D. Holland, president of
the Hodgkin´s Foundation, currently under threatment,
has kindly help us get a better picture, and even more,
she guided us into her commitment of financing, through
her Foundation, those experimental investigations that
certanly improve patiens´ life quality, and for the first time
emagazine was not only reffering a subject but linking it,
using art as breakeven point, with possible resolution. Al of
a sudden this huge effort make sense we where as part of the
process, expanding art capabilities to affect, in very positive
way, human being´s life. At the end, to honor Katarzyna´s
work and bravery, a young talented pianist, Harold Lopez-
Nussa, composed Prelude for Olympia, a pationate small
piece unique in its kind, never heard before, presented in
emagazine as pentagram (not music to be heard but to be
read) as the idea is that only a few, by reading the notes
could feel it, as only a few by suffering the disease could
image what is like.
Open doors to dialogue, design as it affects life, institutional
approaches, curatorial issues, video art and compelling
projecs, artists´ retrospective, journalism view on zones
in conflict like Iran, collaboration notes, fantasy and
storyboards, community programs as social scupltures, and
much more is to be discover among the more 100 pages of
this issue of emagazine. We do hope you enjoy and find your
way, your ideal project, your space with us.
