3rd International Exhibition CarCaricature - Zagreb 2009

3rd International Exhibition CarCaricature - Zagreb 2009

This year 3rd International Zagreb car caricature exhibition 2009 marks the 111th anniversary of the car's first appearance in Croatia. The car was driven by Count Marko Bombelles to his home in Vinica near Varazdin.
Since those early days, in all its guises, the car has become an essential part of everyday life. "His Majesty", the car, has become so necessary for work and play that it is difficult to imagine any activity which does not involve the use of an automobile. From basic functions such as travelling to and from work, to every other type economic, sport, cultural, political, recreational, tourist, health, military, police or "romantic" pursuit. It is omnipresent, ever desirable and IRREPLACEABLE! Life without a car is unimaginable. We ask ourselves how did we manage to live without the car for thousands of years.
What do we do with cars that are not in use anymore or are unusable - commonly known as car wrecks??? Those irresponsible throw them everywhere. They abandon all mighty cars in woods, rivers, lakes, seas, national parks and even on islands.
So our focus this year as well as a theme is going to be Car wrecks and Car waste.
With this theme we want to interest authors from around the world to warn public of a need to preserve nature and to change bad and unexpectable life style with the new one that respects basic principles of ecology. We are also joining the eco-action "Lets Clean Croatia from Car wrecks" - that was started by Zagreb's photograph Romeo Ibrisevic. So far as a result of his initiative there was over 11.000 old cars removed from parks, woods, rivers, and lakes in Croatia.
Opening of 3rd exhibition will take place in Zagreb in a lobby of City Government on 5th of June as a part of World Environment Day celebration.
The right to healthy and clean environment according to Croatian constitution is undeniable right to every man, woman or a child. Last year June 5th World Environment Day echoed a message from Marijana Petir, Croatian Parliament Environmental Protection Committee Chairman, who warned everybody with her explicit message that everyone has to accept responsibility for their actions and that we have to change our living habits so Earth can stay, as it has been for thousands of years so far, place where we can live in accordance with nature so future generations can have the same quality of life we have had, if not even better.
This is fantastic opportunity for caricaturists from all around the world to "speak up" through their drawings and show advantages and disadvantages of their majesty - the Car.

Humour TOLENTINO ITALY

25th International Biennial of Art
Humour TOLENTINO
ITALY

Deadline: March, 27 2009

"THE CHILDREN ARE WATCHING US" (�and laughing at us)

The art of the cartoon is play in its pure state.

In a essay by B. Bettelheim on the importance of play in children,
this passage by Freud has been quoted: "The favorite
and most intense occupation of a child is play.
Perhaps one can say that a child at play behaves like a poet,
in that he creates a world of his own, or rather he re-arranges
the things of his world in a new way that pleases him".

There was Mr Bonaventura, ingenuous child-adult and Bibi & Bibo
(the Katzenjammer Kids), two urchins addicted to playing
cruel pranks. And then, in more recent years, the world of Charlie Brown,
Linus and Snoopy, with their unforgettable domestic-philosophical
view on the adult world. And today the Simpsons -
a mixture of irony, cruelty and the everyday nature of urban life.

The world of the comic is often directed at children and their games,
in order to illustrate the world of adults.

"The Children Are Watching Us" was the title of a film that De Sica
wrote together with Cesare Zavattini in 1943. Beyond the content of the plot
(a beautiful melodrama�), the title was well-chosen as it captured in
the bedlam that is our adult world (even more relevant today than then�),
a certain perspective on life which was like a ray of light;
a spotlight that illuminates the dark.

Maurizio Costanzo
