hi ann, the following post resulted in my buying said book in which tamas was included.
excellent book btw. i have had doubts about taking him off the list though not about the others. he said i am boring and i thought about it and he is probably right from his point of view. after all i live in a little place far removed from the crush of civilization and i am primarily a painter. so it gave me some interesting thoughts. just wanted to let you know he has contributed at least this one positive post and probably more. bests, carol "St.Auby Tamas" wrote: > H, > > the STRIKE book is a catalog of > the STRIKE-exposition in Wolverhampton Art Gallery, England, > 14 September - 9 November 2002. > It contains texts by more than 100 > artists related to the subject. > --------------------------------------- > The 'STRIKE book' (2002, Alberta Press London) > ISBN 3-88375-637-7 > can be ordered from > Cornerhouse > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Distribution Germany: > Buchhandlung Walter Konig > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------- > You can also buy copies at cost price direct from > GAVIN WADE > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > 42 Rolt Street, Deptford > London, SE8 5NL > 0208-691-0786 ph/fax > 07976-403696 > --------------------------------------- > Probably best off buying the book from Franz Koenig at > The Serpentine Gallery Bookshop. > You can contact him by email: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > and he can sort out the payment, posting etc. > > �7.50 each. > > H, > a Ann Klefstad wrote: > Ok, Bertrand, after years of reading insults on this list, I wanted to at > least model some insults that could be amusing, in at least some way.
