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.
Painting based on the Jim Jarmusch's movie Coffee and Cigarettes, a scene figuring the musician Tom Waits.
Ce qui brûle en tes pensées
Et que rien n'éteindra
Ce désir insensé
De saisir en tes bras
Tout ce que la vie recèle
De beau et de fort
Grâce mêlée de sel
Avant que vienne la mort
Te fait consumer du regard
Tout le vain et l'inutile
Sans aucun égard
A ce qui est fragile
Comme l'éclair incendie
La chaumière paisible
Ainsi la mythologie le dit
Jupiter rate souvent sa cible
Voulant atteindre le criminel
C'est l'innocent qu'il châtie
Pareils nos élans passionnels
Et qui en pâtit.
......................................................................................................
What burns in your thoughts
And what nothing will put out
This insane desire
To seize in your arms
All that the life holds
Of beautiful and of strong
Grace mixed by salt
Before comes the death
Makes you consume of your glance
All the empty and the useless
Without any respect
In what is fragile
As lightning set on fire
The peaceful thatched cottage
So the mythology says it
Jupiter often misses its target
Wanting to reach the criminal
It is the innocent whom he chastises
Same our passionate mooses
And who suffer from it.
P.H.
