has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
BLOOD WILL HAVE BLOOD

I often mediate on Shakespeare and his ageless dramatic scenarios. I do love his very poetic but razor-sharp, brilliant psychological consideration of the human being. Remember Macbeth. Striving for power -- political, financial, intellectual, sexual -- ruled, rules and will rule the world. We aren't more than a stone's throw away from former generations and centuries and from Scotland in the summer of 1057 (the death of king Macbeth).
Macbeth to Lady Macbeth:
"It will have blood, they say; blood will have blood."
(Shakespeare: ex Macbeth, act III scene IV)
WAITING FOR THE SEA AT NIGHT

Where did we come from
Do you remember
Nights at the beach
A new world to conquer
A sky full of cold stars
But the cruel deep sea
This is not the way home
Where did we go wrong
Where will we go from here
Waiting for the sea at night?

“I am longing to be with you, and by the sea,
where we can talk together freely and build our castles in the air.”
- Bram Stoker (ex: Dracula)
