Dear mailbase members
Thank you all for your comments and information - the meeting was an
interesting one and i think gave the artists some 'ideas to think
with'. I did find it interesting however how the hidden 'agenda' of
space - inclusion/ exclusion of some and the idea that space carries
meaning with it were something the artists all were very much
interested in taping into.
all the best
