Meeting / the signifying chain

Time: a long weekend in December 1996
Place: an exhibition room in Den Bosch by the name of 'Artis'
Act: a female artist invites 6 colleagues to participate in a performance of 2 days. The composition of the group comes about by means of a chainreaction in which each of the invitees invites another person.

Boris Nieslony after joining Meeting

8736 hours (around this) has one year and from this year was 100 hours (around this) looks like the event in Artis 30.11. - 1.12.96. In the future 8636 hours (around this) should be looks Iike the event in ARTIS and 100 hours (around this) can be quiet normal.

More, I like more of this kind of meetings.

To Be Present

Purpose of the Performance Foundation
Support and development of the performance in the broadest possible sense of the word. That is why it is important to invite as many artists as possible, to increases the opportunity for the performance artist to show work and meet other artists. Therefor the foundation will develop concepts and organise locations in order to demand attention for the performance. Experiment is an important aspect in these events as well as working together with other cultural disciplines. Her activities will take place in her direct environment.
