Movement Organizing CommitteeFoundersMiguel Tió - realist, New York, USA The movement formed in the first week of May 2008, due to Giorgio’s initiation. For the first couple of months, the founders exchanged ideas, invited artists, and wrote the first articles. Meanwhile the movement steadily expanded, from August also with senior members, which convinced Giorgio to continue organizing the movement with ever-increasing enthusiasm. Giorgio Vaselli - OrganizerFulfilling various roles necessary to run the movement, he has been sole organizer until January of 2009. His primary purpose has been to increase cohesion through movement projects and exhibitions. He has also been building bridges between various styles of art, inviting members from all over the globe. Finally and most importantly, he wished to create a firm intellectual foundation for the movement. Giorgio is a self-taught artist and a distinguished MS graduate of Eotvos Lorand University (Budapest, Hungary). Adam Scott Miller - Co-OrganizerTaking the offered role in late January 2009, Adam agreed to act as co-organizer for the movement. His person ensures a greater spectrum of opinions and decisions, at an equal weight to the organizer’s. He also contributes to the movement’s ideas and philosophy. His general positive attitude will bring even more light and optimism to the movement. Adam is a distinguished painter graduate, with a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art (Baltimore, USA) and an MFA from the Massachusetts College of Art & Design (Boston, USA). Rollin Kocsis - TrusteeOur trustee is responsible for overseeing all financial transactions related to the movement. He is meant to ensure the validity of the trust members and non-members alike may put into the organizers’ handling of the movement’s finances. We believe such transparency to be a primary attribute our organization must possess. He has proven his fitness for the role through his apparent dedication and professionalism in former movement projects. He is a retired fine arts teacher from Memphis, USA. Susan Waters-Eller - EssayistWhile still a newcomer and senior member, she has agreed to contribute an essay every once in a while. She is an avid writer, publishing her deep thoughts at her blog Seeing Meaning. Her involvement will be limited by her teaching of Illusionism at the Maryland Institute College of Art (Baltimore, USA), where she is a distinguished professor. Kati Astraeir - EssayistKati will likely contribute with inspired essays about the relation of energy and nature. She is very dedicated to the subject, and has been lately exploring it through photography as well. Learning from life experiences, and following her intuition, she transformed her creativity into a powerful journey of healing and transcendence. Shahla Rosa - NetworkerConnecting with the world and expanding our horizons, will be ensured by her at the most widely used networking site - MySpace. She has had experience with MySpace and knows all its magic. Shahla is a senior member of our movement, and an internationally recognized / awarded / exhibited practiser and proponent of surrealism as laid down by Breton. |
