Cultural Marketing, A Way Back to The Public

            The Creator in the old societies was a member with privileges. Knowledge offered then a position of force, godlike, and those who possessed it, acted almost every time like despots. Culture remained for many centuries a small business, a closed possession, off limits for the vast majority of people. In the old societies, the ones that knew how to read and write, were the rulers. Society was in essence shaped by these people. In order for you to have something to say, you were supposed to follow a mechanism, you were supposed to integrate yourself in the small circles that governed speech. Throughout history, culture, art, music, were all serving political reasons and other occult motives.
            Many of the great works of art that we admire today have been created for the most simple reasons. The biggest artists of the Renaissance painted, sculpted and wrote for money, but this does not affect the value of their creations. What now appears to us as a miracle, was then only a source of income. Art as a job was never in history perceived like something bad.  (Petre Fluerasu – Bucharest, Romania)  cititi continuarea in editia tiparita a revistei noastre.

OKiu’ Care Vegheaza|Zvonuri cu Salam Oriental la Portland

  Februarie 1. Rog sotia sa-mi scoata de la naftalina pantalonii aia shukari si lantu’ de aur de 80 de grame, vreo 2-3 sute de dulai schimbati in d’aia de unu ca sa para ‘fara numar’. Ca poate nu stiti, dar se anunta SALAM la Portland. Intre timp, aflam ca LuPanovici al nostru si al tuturor si-ar lichida pravalia si s-ar dedica plimbarilor cu folos sau nu. Dar nu ne intereseaza. Mentionam doar ca fapt divers de Portland.
Ne plimbam pe Sandy Bulevard si din intamplare intram la pravalia carnatului minunat, unde ne intampina neshte frati omenosi, adica noii proprietary, de altfel. Interesant, miroasele de salam si carnati nemtesti sau nu ne imbiau si ne declansau glandele salivare, dar stupoare…bauturica noastra aferenta lipsea din galantar! Okiu’ nostru care vegheaza il felicita pe Fratele respectiv pentru indarjirea si ‘spiritul verde’ de care da dovada si il premiem cu o sticla de apa plata de la chiuveta, premiu pe care il invitam sa si-l ridice de la redactie.
Dar sa revenim la oile noastre, mai proaste. Salam nu mai vine  S-a anulat din lipsa de participanti. Pai, normal, daca oamenii si-au facut reklama la buletinu’ penticostal cine dreq sa vina? Data viitoare, sa faceti publicitate in Oregonianul romanesc… Adica “Echo”.
Suparat nevoie mare asadar si prin urmare am dat cu pantalonii mei shukari de pamant, am bagat lantu’ la naftalina si l-am injurat pa LuPanovici inca o data ca nu l-a adus pe Salam la Portland, dupa care am numarat ‘birlicii’ si i-am bagat pe dreapta.
Stati pe aproape ca va dau ora exacta. Si in martie fara numar… (OKIU' KARE VEGHEAZA)TOT
