As we were a bit tired of listening to the same question all the time, we decided that it was time to ACT.

Bipolares was born into the Fine Arts Department of the University of Murcia, as a three-monthly ma-gazine about artistic innovation.

Bipolares aims to create a link bet-ween opposites, between the two sides of the same coin.

Bipolares talks about eternal and ephemeral things, nights in light and days in shadows.

Bipolares are Words and at the same time, Silence.

Therefore, in our first issue, we invite you to cross the thin line of what is unlikely to happen, of what you may say saying nothing.

So...What do you exactly do

in Fine Arts?

Every new publication must be welco-med since it means some restlessness and positioning, passion and bustle:

the creation pillars.The birth of this publication is more than reasonable because it comes from the

heart of the Fine Arts Department in the University of Murcia. Its own nature gene-

rates ideas, concepts, lights and shadows, in colour and black&white...and all these

elements need mutual understanding.A magazine is a window to look through it,

to observe...an object that can be touched and even smelled...a magazine is reflexion.

And the students and alumni of the Fine Arts Departments have opened a window which let

us know about their world, their feelings and emotions by means of illustrations, photogra-phies, words... and silence.

So let’s celebrate the birth of Bipolares and pay attention to what our contributors may show us.

We need windows to look through and look at, we need to escape from the noise that the lack

of culture creates so we can dip into the silence of emotions.

I try to show another way of understan-ding words and silence through these two pieces of work. Sign language and Braille use different alphabets and both of them

pass on a message with soundless words.

Since words flow like the water, they glide, soak us, cover us all over, make us shiver, wrap us, they tell us and they pamper us, they attack us, defend us, get us closer, as if i were you and you were me, and the two of us are you, because 60 % of us is water and we need it...as we need words.

Word. Sabina Antón Cardenal. PhotographyEmpty words. Al García. Ilustration

The illustration is a visual me-taphor which shows what poli-titians use words for. The speak and distract from what it is really important. Meanwhile, people do not react.

This leaflet aims to show the un-veiled secrets, the words, the sto-len intimacy, so hard to share in any love story.

There are things:

There are things that I haven’t saidThere are things that I should’ve saidThere are things that I regret to sayThere are things that you should knowThere are things that we should talk aboutThere are things that we should keep silentThere are things that we should tellThere are things that we should faceThere are things that make us cryThere are things that make us laughThere are things that make us singThere are things that hurt our soulsThere are things that give us wingsThere are things that take us downThere are things that steal our soulsThere are things to be saidFor we already said them, our tongue was stolen.

SILENCES

Your silence and mine make a different speechabout the emptiness, an abyss,impending words, a penitent kiss,being in a black list

Our silence lasts a thousand years,and in the blink of an eyemakes us a couple full of fears,their echoes are eternal,and their edges, peaked

Our silence makes a different speechit is different, eternal.

Silences. Nur González. Poetry

the Internet has stopped being

an instrument of a few people

in order to become a part of our

daily life, another element together

with telephones or television

which is more necessary for the

connections and communication

of today. How does the Internet

interact with social activities

such as having a conversation or

going to the corner shop? In my

opinion, online communication

does not annul physical relations

but reinforce them. Problems arise

when those relations turn more

important in web life rather than

in real life. That is when locations

disappear, silence becomes

evident. “Cybersociety” gives us

other communicative tools which

modify our behaviour.

Postmodern people live and work

within a stressful pace of life. Time

is an influential and rare asset,

people work from their houses,

interact through a screen, and that

screen rules their behaviour. But in

silence.

Obdulia Muñoz NicolásEssay

Computers are a part of our

communicative habits, they

transmit personal information

and connect our world. Physical

presence is no longer important

for communication, we may be

ubiquitous, being without being

allows us to be superheroes,

coexistence is online. Building

an identity is one of the goals

of anyone in life, being personal

makes us different and we become

different through classificatory

items of our daily life, as Bordieu

has pointed out:“Taste classifies

and it classifies the classifier”1.

“Identity etymology already

explains an “one’s own identity” or

rather the “quality of being yourself”

but, how does the Internet modify

this? Speaking is not a condition,

my keyboard silence gives me

information about the world and

the people. The Internet has

changed consumption, making it

affordable, interceding between

our online interactions, but it has

also changed our way of speaking,

of interacting, even silence has

changed. During the last ten years,

Postpainting depression. Chari Cámara Bevia. Ilustration

This comic trys to make fun of the moment when we face a painting, when we usually want to see beyond the surface. We are interested in the concept or the symbolic meaning and we forget, at the same time, to analize what they convey, we forget our own feelings.

There is no sound to be heard in this picture. It is calm, quiet...I stand still, the surface edge touching my mouth. Whereas I feel silence under the water, there could be noise outside.
