We're having our Beg, Borrow and Steal, Again
benefit exhibition in October at El Palomar Restau-
rant, with an opening reception on the fourth. We
hope that many of you Houston area artists will
participate. The mechanics will be the same as in
our March benefit. For more information, contact
Margaret Bott at (713) 862-2721. Also, we con-
tinue to need the support of additional subscribers
and advertisers, as rising paper costs and our in-
creased circulation are straining our production
budget even more than we anticipated a month ago.
We would also like to continue to pay contributors
a small honorarium, as we did for the first time with
our last issue. Artlies would like to say thank you
to all those who have supported us in the past, es-
pecially Marlene Matalon for her participation in
our March Beg, Borrow and Steal benefit and Peter
Doroshenko for his fine job editing our last issue.
On a personal note, I will be taking a four month
leave of absence from Artlies. In addition to as-
suming the responsibilities of Production Director,
John Bryant, who coedited our April-May issue, will
fill in as Executive Director for the interim. Enjoy
the magazine.consequences of this war [in the former Jugoslav
Republic], or any other war for that matter, the sug-
gestion, albeit rhetorical, to resolve this conflict by
replacing guns with cameras, is completely out of
place. Perhaps Mr. Calledare is not aware that both
sides in this conflict have been doing just that: the
camera is used as an extremely effective propa-
ganda tool to incite "warriors" to retaliate against
the "enemy." Actual rapes and atrocities are shown
on television there, and with predictable results.
Although I have been fortunate enough never to
have experienced war firsthand, I grew up in its
aftermath: in postwar Berlin, complete with
bombed-out apartment buildings and the presence
of tanks and machine guns, courtesy of the Penta-
gon and the Kremlin.
I wish Mr. Calledare would seriously rethink some
of his musings. There is nothing romantic about
warriors, and there is nothing romantic about war.

dear artlies:
I read with interest Donald Calledare's review of
the "Bridge Exhibition." Mr. Calledare's factual
description of the show, including the surrounding
circumstances, were however far more interesting
than his excursion into philosophy. To draw a com-
parison between artists and soldiers seems a bit far-
fetched. I quote: "Nevertheless both [artists and
warriors] partake in the magical mystique inherent
in forming territories, savoring the alliance to the
movements and circulations necessary to the crys-
tallization of intensities."
Warriors ? Magical mystique ? Please! - Either Mr.
Calledare has been watching too many Star Trek
episodes, or he is not very well acquainted with
the issues at hand. In the face of the catastrophicPRINTING DONATED BY
