Project Description
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INDOMITABLE PASSION AND YOUR REVOLUTIONARY SUPPORT FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTSWe will be publishing the Catalogue in the next three weeks and send out the rewards in March anywhere you areOur web site is under construction but we'll post updates and news anyway as we canwww.satorarts.comCREATE ART and CELEBRATE ART - start your own Contemporary Art collection now!
SATOR ARTS catalogue presents a selection of high quality prints by International artists and New Zealand artists. Up and coming Artists that have sold out shows, that have travelled the world from Russia to the Miami Art Fair, and more!
We are interested in creating a space for expressing creativity and talent from visual arts to paintings, performance, poetry pieces and experimental typography. The SATOR ARTS catalogue is a uniquely designed large envelope and there is no constraint of media, format, shape or size of the artworks we can publish.

The SATOR ARTS catalogue is designed as a collection of Contemporary Arts and at the same time is
We have added a few pictures of artworks you could find in the Year Zero/Issue Zero of the catalogue..and there heaps more to come of different styles and format!

Every issue is introduced by a different short poem on the cover/envelope. The year zero/issue zero begins with the ancient Sator square inscription found in Pompei and dated 79 AD.
Cruising through innumerable interpretations over the centuries, we have chosen to translate it as a short haiku:
the sower
of the field
leads, comprehends, creates
the works
of the wheel
Each of us, and each artist, is like the sower of a field that is the world. We lead our way, and in leading we comprehend and create our world. The works of the wheel can be many, and infinite the ways in which we live; but if we find our authentic voice we can become the creator of our world and share it with others.

Thanks to the amazing support we have received so far we plan to publish the first few hundred copies of the SATOR ARTS catalogue Year Zero/Issue Zero this February.
You can pre-buy a limited edition of the first 100 copies of the catalogue, and access exclusive limited edition artworks, cards, poems.
