THE EROTIC NIGHT: The Dark Energy Aesthetic in Contemporary Art

In Memoriam 2017: Dianne Bowen, Anne Dufourmantelle and Kate Millett

Three amazing women delivering the re-emergence of the feminine archetype passed away in 2017, leaving a crucial legacy of the 21st century journey — to internally embody the hieros gamos. Their collective contribution is lauded here as the essential crossing of boundaries between word/image for the collective goal of the physical embodiment of the Aquarian icon of gender equality.

(R)EVOLUTION IN GREECE: Michael Mantas’ “Receta” for the Avant-Garde
