Dear friends and colleagues,
The theme of this issue of EXPRESSION 29 concerns the images and signs
of prehistoric
and tribal art illustrating the real and imaginary realm of their
makers. They are an immense visual archive to be decoded, representing
a world phenomenon that records and memorizes the concepts, facts, and
emotions of the moment in which they were made. The theme will have
further space in future issues and contributions are welcome. The
images survived, but their meaning is often gone and has to be
recovered. They are the expressions of events and myths, providing
sparks of beliefs and notions of different ages and cultures. These
images and signs are the records of the as yet unwritten chapters of
the history of humankind. They are there in front of our eyes, we see
and describe them, even when we are unable to interpret their meaning.
By trial and error, we may make some progress. Even small details in
deciphering what they are conveying help to move forward decoding and
understanding.
Please find attached a complimentary copy of EXPRESSION 29. It
includes papers and reports, debates and queries, we wish to share
with you.
