[-empyre-] Farewell to Kate, Patrick, Raul and Eduardo for "Border Crossings"

Christina McPhee <christina112@earthlink.net> · Sat, 30 Apr 2005 05:42:28 -0700

dear list,
This month we were engaged with several questions:
Do conceptual art and curatorial practice merge in post digital 
cultural production? How are new media art, criticism and curatorial 
practice a 'transgressive' ecology"?

Thanks to all of you who have participated, silently or in writing, in 
this very challenging topic. I am personally grateful for the 
opportunity to listen to so many voices as we try to deal with this 
compelling and complex problematic of border space in cultural 
production  and art practice.   Thank you to writers Alan, Aliette, 
Andres, Brad, Cecil, Christine, Danny, Renee, Heidi, Henry, Jeremy, 
Jim, Jeff, Jess, Jhave, Joeser, Jordan, Ken, Mathieu, Marc, Renee, 
Ryan, Sally Jane, Saul, and Simon.  And for your attentive responses 
and searching posts, -empyre- thanks  especially  our guests for this 
month:
