KLAUS HAAPANIEMI LIMITED EDITION PRINTS TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR A SOLAR POWER SYSTEM IN KHANAPUR SCHOOL
The lovely people behind some of our production in India have founded a school for unprivileged children in Khanapur. With a help of friends and supporters they have managed to build the school, fund teaching and provide uniforms, materials and computers for the school. As fantastic as a computer can be to learn and connect with the rest of the world, it needs power to run. The village of Khanapur gets only 8 hours of electricity in a day and it is on rotation, often not available during the school hours.The charity organizing the school has decided to build a solar power system for more efficient and ecological electricity than an expensive generator. We want to help this dream come true by making some beautiful prints of Klaus Haapaniemi’s work. They come in edition of 50 and are signed by the artist.There are two designs: the wonderfully colorful and rich “Peacocks” and the adventurous “Putte The Cat”. All the sale profits will go to the Khanapur School.

Francois Robert’s Stop the Violence project is a message of peace made from real human bones.
Robert on his work:
The human skeleton is a powerful visual symbol. It’s come to represent the “remains”, what’s left after life has ended, after the flesh and mind cease to function. In my photographs, I use the human skeleton as the formal visual element, the subject of the image. In this manner, the skeleton is both the protagonist and antagonist (the Buddhist notion about, “the duality of man” seems apt).
For each photograph I disassemble the modular system of the skeleton and reconfigure the elements to form a new image. These images are man made. Images of aggression, images that cause suffering, devastation and conflict. I intend the images to plant the notion of restraint and charity in an effort to promote peace and tolerance.
