James, It is non-visual art, so we can easily close our eyes for it.
When we do not see or touch it, it ceased to exist in a material world The remnants are immaterial socially constructed imagination exercises for and by 'Liebhaber', German language for amateurs. Not intending to be insulting, but I do think James made a point with his, maybe exaggarated, remarks. Me personally, like more anti-social art forms but that is because of my particular societal conditions Best Andreas Maria Jacobs e: [email protected] m: 31 6 16 732 018 w: http://www.nictoglobe.com w: http://burgerwaanzin.nl On 27 Jul 2010, at 13:10, James Morris <[email protected]> wrote: > On 27 July 2010 12:00, James Morris <[email protected]> wrote: >> 2010/7/27 info <[email protected]>: >>> dears >>> >>> james and i are will be artists in residence for >>> the woodland on the border between switzerland and germany in basel >>> hosted by bblackboxx from 5-14 august 2010 >>> >>> landscape includes trees, rivers, refugee detention centre, >>> industrial >>> wasteland, sex workers and dog walkers >>> >>> our main focus will be extreme sports training for mobile phones >>> and their owners >>> >>> for example, there will be workshops for tree climbing, flight and >>> sub >>> aqua exploration >>> >>> hope to see you and your phone there >>> >>> heath >> >> >> sorry dear, can't make it. too busy fucking packing plastic punnets. >> > > Sorry.
