OK folks I'm back and I only have 2458 fluxlist post to read. Kinda late, uh? Actually, I moved, and since the 9th of july I'm making heavy work in my new house (like the roof, the whole electric wiring, the tranformation of the ceiling into a living space etc.) and it's only now that I have the possibility to get my mails (even though it's a low stream connection) I still have to make a bathroom, to restore five or six rooms, and to garden a bit to eradicate the jungle we have backyard, and we'll be fine with the children....in 2012 (alas the university is opening in 10 days, and I haven't yet prepared a single lesson...) Otherwise, even if the website is not our main occupation currently (euphemism), we're organising a flash exhibit of Ben Patterson in the University of Paris-8: two days only in their exhibiting space, but also a lecture/workshop in the seminar of Prof. Liliane Terrier on wed. evening. + We'll have a dinner with some of the FLuxus artists that have answered to the invitation of the Center G. Pompidou for the opening of the big exhibition "the sound in art" which is to open on the 21st of Sept. More to come soon, hope you all spent a nice summer (winter for those who live beyond the equator), and I begin to read all those delayed posts
