Art and design is not suppose to support structures and institutions, it is suppose to express the freedom of "thinking".
Are You thinking for Yourself?

Umberto Eco
The definition of the alternatives is the supreme instrument of power; the antagonist can rarely agree on what the issues are because power is involved in the definition. He who determines what politics is runs the country, because the definition of alternatives is the choice of conflicts, and the choice of conflicts allocates power.
E.E. Schattschnieider.

Dear Reader,
I am preparing typographic posters for an exhibition at the National Art Gallery of Namibia coming up in June and wish to collect more material from local artists and writers.
I am looking for Namibian song lyrics/poems/texts, that talk about the Namibian society and it's challenges. And of course life and love and its' challenges, how could I forget!
ANY LOCAL LANGUAGE! (Please send a translation in English.)

The writer's name will appear in the poster as a reference. I will make a typographic presentation of texts.

Love Matters in Art Manifesto of May 14, 2013 in the City Windhoek
Love Matters in Art is an engine that
000. looks in your mirror, first of all
00. acts in a form of a poster on the streets
0. works with text, writing and typography, visualises thinking, collects excerpts for the files, thinks that education and reading are the only tools to create a better world, oh yes, and healthy and meaningful interaction with right people
01. chooses written text from any source (news, statistics, poems, fiction, faction) any writing that has been produced by some one else and that has been printed/published
02. reproduces text with good principles of graphic design and typography resulting into a printed poster
03. uses maximum of two colors in the poster (1. stamp and 2. text)
04. is an anti-photographic-people-posing-image movement:
only handles images of the posing of the paper poster, (no "strike-a-pose-posing" unless considered for some reason necessary), the process of Love Matters project, people interacting with the poster are considered worthwhile
05. is not responsible for any psycho-visual probabilities the viewer might start to think or see during or after reading the poster
06. is not responsible for any grey projections in the eye sight during or after reading the poster
07. is an anti-being-cool movement since cool is in the inside not in the pocket, anti-consumerism, anti-posing movement, anti-visual-pollution-movement, pro-life and pro-action movement, pro-simplicity movement
08. is documenting the process and has no target in the process
09. hand-stamps all the original posters with a red Love Matters in Art stamp as a sign of hand-made Love Matters original whose value in the future will be immense: read: collect now! if you can
010. posts posters on the streets, hope for them to stay up for a meaningful period of time, and waits for them to end up in people's homes on the wall to show interest in mentally joining the movement
011. uses text as such and writes the concrete clear reference of publishing and the author on the left corner of the poster, hope you question these texts and contact the author for finding out
012a. copies text from a source, chooses the right words and takes text out of the context, If there is no reference link, the words have appeared earlier in a previous poster, maybe,
013. currently focuses on the Namibian (as a southern african part of the world) society
014. depicts the society and its insanity and has fun with it!
100f. Does not understand why the major local newspaper "The Namibian" has a centerfold of people posing. All answers please direct to the lovemattersinart@gmail.com immediately! please!
If you read this far please report to Love Matters in Art at lovemattersinart@gmail.com any interesting cases you see of hear from or about the Love Matters in Art posters you might see in town. Talk on the streets and images of Love Matters interaction.
