Dear all, sorry for cross-posting,

Just would like you to introduce a new independent initiative
(MyDANCETHETheSKULL)

MY DANCE THE SKULL IS AN INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING HOUSE FOUNDED IN 2009 AND
BASED IN LONDON. OUR AIM IS TO PROMOTE CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS WHOSE WORK IS
INSPIRED BY THE DANGEROUS AND CONVULSIVE BEAUTY OF THE EVERYDAY LIFE.

www.mydancetheskull.com

If you are around London, come to celebrate the launch of the project plus
the first artist book (ALEKSANDRA WALISZEWSKA), with a unique performance by
the musician TALVIHORROS. More details check our website!

Hope to see you there!
