Personal exhibition catalog by Agim Krasniqi - KRAGI

Yesterday I received the personal exhibition catalog by Agim Krasniqi from Kosova. Mr Krasniqi - KRAGI, as he signs his work – is exhibiting his cartoons in Prishtina nowadays and soon to display them in Tiran, Albania.
Kragi was born in Bitola (Macedonia) in 1951, started with primary school in Bjelovar (Croatia), and continued with civil engineering university and the school of art in Prishtina (Republic of Kosova). His first cartoons were published in 1965 and his work occasionally appeared in the humorous newspaper “Thumbi”, the daily “Rilindja”, the weekly “Tan” which was popular in Turkish literary circles for some decades I can remember, and as well in some international publications like “STEJ”, “ELECTRON”, “STADY”, “Predah”, “KOLO”, etc.

This informative catalog prepared for the exhibition is published in Prishtine in 2009. It is 145x200 mm in size and has 28 pages, cover included. There is a short CV of the artist and two commentaries on Kragi’s art by Mustafa Ferizi and Ramadan Zaplluzha, all in three languages. The 19 cartoons in the catalog are in colour and there are also miniature pictures from the rich portfolio of the artist set in a film-strip style next to or beneath the cartoons.
You can see Kragi’s artwork at http://www.artbreak.com/Kragi or visit his website at http://www.agimkrasniqi-kragi.com/
Many thanks to Mr Agim Krasniqi for sending me this catalog. I hope he exhibits his cartoons in Turkey too.

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.

Letter from Andrey Feldshteyn on cartoon similarity, winners and prizes

The following letter from Andrey Feldshteyn is sent on February 23, 2009:
Gentlemen,
Recent events in the Cartoon Contest World left many cartoon fans unhappy and disappointed. We became witnesses of the growing number of cartoon similarities, prize cancelations, mutual accusations, suspicion etc.
Fortunately we are all united in understanding that the artists should not spend their energy and emotions for squabbles and quarrels, we see a better destiny for creative minds. That is why it is easier for us to build a comfortable and friendly competition environment, where everybody is treated with proper respect and etiquette.
There is a simple mechanics allowing us to avoid embarrassing situations, this technique was offered by the Don Quichotte humor magazine in 2007. We are talking about public prescreening of a certain number of best chosen cartoons (10-20). Placing these drawings on any site, announced in the Rules and Regulation, will allow the cartoonists’ community to discuss their originality. This will help the Jury to choose only original and new ideas.
We are also convinced that comparing the dates of the first publication (web site, newspaper, cartoon contest, etc) is the best way to establish the priority of the author.
The additional recommendation is to use the following point in the typical set of Contest Rules and Regulation: “The decision of the Jury is final and is not subject to an appeal.” Then we will avoid cases, which are painful for both: the artist and the jury.
Sincerely,
Andrey Feldshteyn
On behalf of the International Cartoonists’ Club CARTUNION

Catalog KOSOVA 2007 World Cartoon Festival

Front cover of catalog Kosova 2007 World Cartoon Festival

Grand Prix: Leng Mu / China

Last week I received the great catalog "World Cartoon Festival KOSOVA 2007". Why great, because it is almost perfect, that is it seems flawless: no misspelling, no faults in binding, in translation, in information, or else. It is 21x27 cm in size and has 204 pages in full color. The topic of the Festival in 2007 was the "News" and 542 artists from 63 countries participated. In the catalog are about 180 cartoons selected and (14) awarded by the jury comprised of Astrit Haraqija, Rudina Xhunga, Gazmend Leka, Luan Mulliqi, Migjen Kelmendi, Binjamen Haxha, and Nekra. Nekra is the pseudonym of the world-famous cartoonist Nexhat Krasniqi (this "q" is pronounced like "ch" in English I suppose) who is the creator of the figure that symbolizes the Kosovar according to Mr Migjen Kelmendi as he puts it in his introductory "2 Words":
"As for me, preoccupied with cultural and identity particularity of this society and of this country that's called Kosova, and engaged to find the answer to the question 'Who is the Kosovar?', the question that was articulated by newspaper JAVA, a fast and very exact answer is this:
'Kosovar' is a drawn figurine of the world known cartoonist Nexhat Krasniqi-NEKRA, from Peja, that small depicted man with his hair waving down, that comments, imitates, pinches, teases, reacts, who usually is ironic, mocks, screws you, and congratulates you, who cries and laughs at all of us and with all of us."
The Festival is held under the supervision of Ministry of Culture, Youth, Sport and nonresidential matters of Kosova at Museum of Kosova in Prishtina on September 21, 2007. Prishtina is specially known among my colleagues for the city is the birthplace of the late master Necmi Riza Ayca (1914-2001), one of our classical Turkish cartoonists who is also remembered as a real gentleman. As Mr Kelmendi summarizes, one of the spheres where Kosova has the right to be proud for is - cartoons. And this quality catalog with its finesse shows that too.
