Josefina Muslera is a painter from Argentina, who makes interesting drawing and paintings. She writes about her own work:

I grew up in La Rioja (Northwest Argentina), next to an ancient olive wood , close to the “powerful” Andes mountain chain. An area of high temperature, surrounded by generous nature in its raw nakedness, unpredictable, contrasting and heartbreaking; I lived and interacted with their wild “worlds “organic and inorganic, their myths, sharing with people in love with their land. Earth full of spirituality. Since then, I can not express myself and create but from the relationship between the body lived sensation (sensory body), the conscience and dramatic emotion of things, and their reciprocal influence on me. I believe in the idea of love as a force and energy alive, joining and separating incessantly, and within that, becoming incessant the power of instant creation, “Instant strengthening the real moment.”

More work can be seen on her weblog, posted below the images. These are two works I liked:

Comments by Loosenut from Amazon:

I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger’s shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger’s scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said “that’s the worst security ever!”. But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital.
The best thing about this product is that it teaches kids about the realities of living in a high-surveillence society. My son said he wants the Playmobil Neighborhood Surveillence System set for Christmas. I’ve heard that the CC TV cameras on that thing are pretty worthless in terms of quality and motion detection, so I think I’ll get him the Playmobil Abu-Gharib Interogation Set instead (it comes with a cute little memo from George Bush).

One of my favorite artists at this moment is Alexandra Crouwers. Her work is fantastic, actually, no matter if it’s her drawings, installation works or animations. Here are four examples of an installation artwork she did, more work of her and drawings/animations can be directly viewed on her website through the link below the images:

The American sound artist Charles Goff III, known from the Taped Rugs initiative, has turned two of my older poems into sound works/songs. Both are very interesting and I encourage Loewak readers to freely download both. The first one is based on the poem ‘Classical Music’ and the second one is based on the poem ‘I am the law’. I will possibly do a future collaboration with Mr Goff III and I will keep you all informed about those efforts.

Triple channel video that is part of “The Nature of being” by Scanner and Olga Mink.

This video is based on the idea how we memorise and connect data stored in parts of our brain. Intercontextual information is created within moments, memories, images sounds, that have occured in the past. The video touches the subject of how people share a single event together, yet experience “reality” completely different. Subjective.

Eva Mouton is a Belgian artist and poet, this is her work ‘Tuin’ (garden) which I find very effective in its simplicity:

Eva also has her own website here: Evamouton.be, with drawings and funny anecdotes in Dutch.
