The weekend was wonderful! Friday night opening was the busiest time with over 70-80 people attending. Films, artifact, live performance – including a networked performance with Belfast, Northern Ireland – all were received openly. Saturday was quieter traffic wise, but still enjoyable, and the patron tended to spend longer periods of time watching films, perusing artifacts and asking lots of questions about the work. Sunday, Citizen Loud performed a 6hour durational sound work. It was a really nice way to celebrated Art’s birthday (as per ARKA’s post http://web.tiscali.it/spazioarka/). Patrons gifted a total $75.05 upon entry – which will be shared in equal portion among participants.

The catalogue is now available to download as pdf.

The few happy snaps I took of the event will be posted here. To those who attended and took photos, please feel free to share them.

Finally, thank you to all who attended and thank you to every participant for your generosity, without which, this event would not have been made possible.
