John Bently and Andi McGarry Liver and Lights & Sun Moon and Stars at Grennan Mill Craft School,Thomastown,Nr Killkenny, Ireland

August 10, 2012 at 11am to August 18, 2012 at 6pm
Liver & Lights and Sun Moon and Stars celebrate all things running, jumping shouting, kiss chase, lost and found, DIY, hand made and home baked and book shaped. They celebrate the sheer joy of making without boundaries and without even the merest hint of post modern Irony. Good friends for many years, bonded by their shared Northumbrian roots as well as their artistic outlook, this first ever joint exhibition celebrates both their past achievements and current enthusiasms……See More

Thanx, John!
Am going back to the Minden M-A & Performance Festival 30 July to 3 August (despite contracting Pneumonia there in icy December). It is run by my old Peter Kuestermann a good organiser. You'd like it there. Lodging in an historic deconsecrated Church is free. Dawn

Yes I remember. You do great things. Since those days I got further involved with Mail-art & Performance, mostly in Belgium, Serbia, and Germany. My artistbooks are smaller, less craft-orientated, and as adjunct to my poems and thoughts. The one I'm working on: 'Letters to Maria-Theresa' is just a collection of my views on Art, M-A, graffiti, performance, poetry, and philosophy, ontology, etc. Hoping to get it out (Laser-print) around July.
