Re: [-empyre-] Documenta?

Very sypmthomatic you write about Documenta when I am writing about
Documenta, Michele! Telepathy?? I am writing a new version of my book
"Women@Internet" and writes about Empyre, Under Fire, Jordan Crandalls
excellent work and Catherine David's Documenta.
I own the enormous books edited by Documenta X and they are
extraordinary interesting, but they are too big to be used for
"everyday" purposes.
I think the material should be more useful and gain a lot more of
readers if they were edited as magazines or podcastings. Now they are
only huge :)
But this is still a great material and I still think Catherines
Documenta was the best Documenta.

ps: by the way, I can also recommend Catherines exhibition, what she
called not an artistic exhibition, but an artistic platform, the
Iraqui Equation. It was showed in Barcelona until now, now it's going
to Sevilla and later, in November, we are taking it to Sweden, to the
museum of contemporary art where I have my project, Crusading,
