hi karen/nina
i just want to make it clear that in no way am i seeking to vilify
individual artists for trying to earn a living, opportunities for which
are rare enough - i asked because there seemed to be no mention of
artists on the 'game on' website
i personally wouldn't have anything to do with these events for reasons
i have already outlined in full - nothing to do with populist
approaches, but everything to do with product placement and art/artists
used as tools of legitimisation
peace
mark
