Awww… I’d love to – but I’m not even sure whether I’ll find the time myself to go. I have 2 presentations next week. However, I already promised to show Alexander Demko (owner of Artfira) around Basel so maybe we could arrange a date that fits everyone’s plans. I’ll keep you informed on that. Oh, and if I go, I’ll only go to LISTE 05 and not to ART itself. It deserved to be fucking boycotted. Hmmmpf. 🙂
no, but of course it deserves to be boycotted. but that soap. i need to steal that bar of soap.
And if you had it, what would you be doing with it? Hu? 😉
i dunno… damn i did not think this through, huh. okay, i revise my earlier statement. i dont want to steal it after all.
Brilliant indeed – I do hope the Artcast duo (see http://artcast.twoday.net/stories/755853/) actually manage to go interview the artist, promises to be coolish.
