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.
"The simulacrum is never that which conceals the truth ? it is the truth which conceals that there is none. The simulacrum is true."
Ecclesiastes
The problem of explaining! Particularly where art and creative work are concerned. A simple natural apparatus “camera obscura” shadow on the wall of my studio. Coming from the door’s small window. Filling the head with variety of thoughts, and the mouth (image) with copious discourse.

The voyage
They left Africa on Christmas Eve seeking a better life in Europe. Instead, the immigrants' rusty boat drifted and carried them to their deaths as it crossed the Atlantic Ocean and wound up near the Caribbean islands of Barbados.
By the time a fisherman found the boat on April 30, the bodies of 11 young men were virtually mummified by the sun and salt spray. One had written a farewell note to his family in Senegal before dying.
"I would like to send ... a sum of money. Please excuse me and good-bye" said the note, tucked between bodies.
The Voyage, VIII; By Charles Baudelaire
Translation by Eli Siegel
O Death, old captain, it is time! Let us lift anchor.
This land tires us, O Death. Let us be under way!
If the sky and the sea are black as ink,
Our hearts, those you know, have rays of light!
Pour us your poison so that it comfort us!
We wish, this fire burns our brain, so much,
To plunge to the bottom of the gulf, Hell or Heaven,
what does it matter?-
To the bottom of the Unknown, to find Something New!
The divine Buddha "Form" Yamantaka (Terminator of Death) and his stream of life (symbolized by the running water)-giving blessing to all beings.
Underneath the sound of the storm you hear a chant, that is believed to have the power to exorcise the human afflictions of anger, avarice, lust, and envy and transform them into creative wisdom.
There are three types of death spoken of in the Yamntaka Tantra : Outer death is the regular end of life, which is embodied by Yama, Lord of Death, who resides in the south, seven stories under the earth. The inner death is ignorance of the true nature of non-dual reality. Instinctive habitual grasping and aversion to objectively "real" objects and subjects arises from this ignorance. The secret death is dualistic appearance on the subtlest level of clear light mind and illusory body. With the practice of Yamantaka one overcomes those types of death and gains immortality as a Buddha.
