GROUP 21 PLUS MEMORANDUM.

English VERSION...

Group 21 Plus was founded in China on the occasion of the Seventh International Symposium of Sculpture celebrated in the City of Changchun in the Province of Xilin, in the Northeast of the People's Republic of China in September of 2004.
Its name of Group 21 Plus refers to the 21 Nations that firstly organized themselves in the Group as well to those others that have been added posteriorily as part of its permanent growth.

Our main languages in the Group are: Spanish, English and French.

Group 21 Plus is a Global Group that reunites Visual Artists from 32 Nations as well a Network of prestigious Collaborators like Art Critics, Psicologists, Antropologists and Poets.

Past January 2006 we celebrated our First World-Wide Encounter in Madrid, Spain.

Along this year 2006 our artists have celebrated the following Bilateral and Multilateral Encounters among them:
1-Japan-Mexico..(Noboru Yurugi Exhibition in Tlaxcala, Mexico)..2006
2-Mexico-Spain..(Martin Rojas Exhibition in Madrid, Spain)..2006
3-Spain-Mexico-Canada..(Gloria Solas, Jose Luis Viejo and Alberto Cerritos Exhibition in Tlaxcala, Mexico)..2006
4-Spain-Mexico-Canada..(Gloria Solas, Jose Luis Viejo and Alberto Cerritos Exhibition in Madrid, Spain)..2006

Besides, there are Bilateral and Multilateral agreements waiting to be celebrated, these Agreements are established mainly by the mutual respect among artists Members of two or more nations.

Those Agreements depend in a very decisive way on the appreciation value that the artists Members grant to the Bilateral and Multilateral Collaboration.
And they are a Central Pillar of our work because as such they maintain in a dynamic flood our creative work in Permanent Art Exhibitions organized by the Artists Members.

Also the Group has contributed in the present year 2006 to open the first European Chapter in Madrid, Spain for COMAV.
Besides our artists collaborate with the Comav network that is with The World-Wide Council of Visual Artists which has its permanent seat in Mexico City, organizing Encounters of Public Art and Muralism so the case of our Member of SouthAfrica Mr. Andrew Nhlangwini who at the moment still negotiating the organization of such event for next year 2007.

We are also open to expand our Collaboration with new Organizations.

We have to mention that we maintain a Multiple Correspondence in our open Network, just to keep all of us updated, of International events like Symposiums, Conferences, Encounters, Biennials, Triennials, etc..
