Subject: participation to a french review Date: Sun, 1 Feb 1998 22:39:56 +0100 (MET) From: synesthe@worldnet.fr To: joeymorgan@aol.com Dear Joey I was in Vancouver last month and I spoke to Keith Wallace at the CAG. He gave me your E-mail adress. He told me you just had a little girl. Congratulations. I am writing for a french magazine called Synesthésie. You can read it on Internet at the following adresses : http://www.cicv.fr/SYNESTHESIE and also (very soon) http://www.metafort.com Our next issue will talk about the notions of "participation and simulation". When we discuss about this thematic, I immediatly thought of the piece you did a couple of years ago with answering machines and matcheboxes. I think it will be a good idea if we can do something about your work and talk about this piece since it is very close our next theme. Do you still want to talk about this piece? Do you want to do an informal written interview about this piece. If so, could you answer those questions: - How did it related to your work then and now? - How, where and when did you did it? - What are you doing now? - Can you explain in relatively short and simple text (1-2 pages) the story of this piece? - What happen? etc. - Do you have material related to this work or someone else (sound, texts, visuals) that we can send on the web? I went to the Fresnoy. They rebuild it by a very chic architect. It is really different but I don't like it. I am thinking of going back to Montreal. I don't know if it's a good idea but it seems to me that nothing is happening here in Paris now. May be I am too pessimistic? Please answer me about this project. Our e-mail is synesthe@worldnet.fr Ciao, thank a lot
