Mais um projeto mostra que a arte brasileira está se atirando mesmo
no mundo virtual: já está em [...] a bem cuidada versão eletrônica
da mostra "Aprofundamento", que abre na próxima semana no Parque Lage.
São nove artistas que, trabalhando de diferentes formas, mostram 18 trabalhos
bidimensionais. Na rede, a exposição acontece em versão reduzida e inclui
biografia de cada um dos artistas.
"Aprofundamento" é uma prova da evolução da arte brasileira na rede, que deixa de lado os toscos exemplos iniciais para adotar um visual limpo e claro.

Subject: My Evaluation...
Hello,
I stopped by your website and had hoped to find some good art, but instead it was the same kind of pretentious ugly garbage that has been held up for years as "profound". Is there any wonder why nobody respects the arts anymore when mindless, uncreative, and downright ugly stuff like yours is what is held up as the artistic ideal? Here in the US it is this kind of revulsion against mindless splatters, childish scribbles, and pointless piles of junk that is bringing us close to slashing all public funding for the arts. With some luck that will happen at some point in other countries as well.
I love good art. What I look for is some kind of insight into life, some kind of skill in execution, or some kind of intellectual or emotional content. Why can't you use your budget and time to find and bring forth something which is actually worthy of praise or at least of attention? You probably don't hear from people like me too often since you are probably used to dealing with the closed art world where anyone noticing the army of naked emperors is expelled, but here on the Internet you can't count on the usual minute audience of people committed to advancing the cause of meaningless smears of paint and pointless piles of objects masquerading as art. Get used to it, there are a lot more of us than you here on the net.

Pelo que vi agora, tenho certeza de uma bela exposicao. Certamente estarei presente. Parabéns a todos.
I saw the site.
I also read the opinions page (or, at least the english part.) There was one opinion from a person named Brian who was very critical of the page's contents, suggesting they represent all that is wrong with art today and that they lacked meaning or evidence of skill.
Ernest Hemmingway said, "The good reader make the good book." I believe that there are no bad artists, only bad viewers. Those that succeed in finding truth, beauty, or whatever they may be looking for are the best viewers and will find these things in whatever is put in front of them, be it superficially ugly or otherwise. Perhaps they will not find what the artist intended for them to find, but if they are satisfied, they have succeeded.
When I draw, I rarely think and, instead, concentrate on the most basic aspects of creating an image. If I have supplied meaning, it has been in the form of sub-concious thoughts and motivations. In the end, the act of drawing, for me, is simply satisfying my sense of aesthetics.
As a viewer observing the works presented at soho/1945, I found beauty and meaning. Still, I doubt it was the meaning intended by the artists. If the text accompanying the images is there to spell it out to the viewer, I am afraid I am too dull to understand it. If I did get something from the text, it was from the more ambiguous parts of it and I was probably extracting meaning that was not actually communicated.
To put it simply, I found my visit very satisfying, but, if the artists were trying to say something, I was too deaf to hear it.
To quickly address Brian's argument that the artists showed no skill, I think that each of their works demonstrated a beautiful use space, color, balance, and form.

Gostei bastante
Parabéns pessoal!!! É legal saber que os artistas contemporâneos estão chegando a rede. Continuem cada vez melhor e... divulguem a página (não é sempre que a gente "tropeça" por uma!)

I was very impressed with aprof95i.htm and went through the complete site. It is really wonderful to see the serious side of ART ON THE WEB. In fact I'm overjoyed to see such thought, visual poetry and youthful intellectual vitality - it's abundantly obvious these are serious people. The site will be linked on THE NET CRITIC http://www.earthlink.net/~fineartinc/netcrit.htm by midnight.
This project wouldn't be possible without your help and I want to sincerely thank you very much for bringing the APROFUNDAMENTO '95 Exhibition to my attention.

Excellent Website!
*Very* Talented artists!
Best Wishes,

Please excuse the mad mutterings of my fellow compatriot, Brian Yoder. His rudeness is exceeded only by a combination of his insensitivity and ignorance. We here in this country have to put up with the imbecility of our Jesse Helms' wannabees, whose artistic shortcomings will forever keep them from receiving any NEA public moneys. Instead of urging greater public funding for the arts that could possibly garner them trickled down morsels of public grant moneys for their ever so meager artistic efforts they succumb to a raging jealousy of all those who have received public moneys and wish to level the playing field by doing away with the per capita expenditure of 75 cents per annum for the arts, the lowest in the industrialized West. Very much enjoyed the entire 9 portfolios and having seen similar work here in the States, once again am reminded of the universality of visual art.
