I received the same email today Nov. 27, 2008. I googled Aesthetics and Contemporary Art and got your site.

I received the same email a couple of days ago, and I must say it looks very suspicious. Googled Maria Miriam Farias Iriarte - and this name actually only exists on their website, I mean - once! Kai

Received also a email like this. You might consider: why produce an artbook with so different artists, most quite unknown (incl. myself

This is the second offer stating I was “the chosen one” only to find out that every artist with an email address got the same message? This is a marketing scam to make money, like all scams they have to have something real to create an illusion. Please if you do not know what to do I wrote a easy to follow how to do steps on dealing with scammer, it’s called “Report Scammer”

and with so different quality and style? What’s the use of this? And who’s gonna buy such a book? The artists themselves. So you pay twice… Also it’s kinda strange I cannot find information about entry fees, where the book’s being sold and the price of the book etc.
