Biennial of Havanna in the old part of the city. The event was so important that the caretakers of the Biennial asked me to repeat it the following day, due to the opening of a new section of the exhibition of the Biennial in the Cabin, one of the citadels that protects the approaches to the City Port. Our objectives were fulfilled: taking the mail-art out into the streets, where the people are, in a kind of living exhibition; bringing together thelong-distance communication, intrinsic to mail-art, and the direct communication with the Cuban people and trying to integrate the audience to the net by giving postcards as a present in order for them to participate and send them back to my address. Another important aspect was to reaffirm the disinterested character of mail-art by giving all the masks and costumes received to those who took part in the parade, except the ones that the Australian artist David Dellafiora lent me. Last, it must be highlighted the wide legitimization our art achieved by opening the Biennial in front of numerous authorities and art critics from all over the world, including Pierre Restany, in representation of the UNESCO. Soon I will publish a catalogue with pictures from the event. Also a video was filmed of 20 minutes long. I want to thank the Wifredo Lam Centre from Cuba, the students of the first cycle of the National Academy of Fine Arts "San Alejandro" of Havanna, the Association of Bank Employees of Uruguay, David Baptiste Chirot, the Australian artist David Dellafiora, AUMA (Action Urgent Mail-Art) and Alexis Abreu, the Cuban artist who took part in the event. Also to all the participant mail-artists. color=#000000> color=#000000> Besides the Biennial, I made a performance on Tuesday 14th, where I read an anthology of experimental poetry, in the "October 10" Gallery organized by the Cuban poet Raydel Araoz, with poems by Edgardo Antonio Vigo, Philadelpho Menezes, Guillermo Deisler, Arrigo Lora-Totino, Jose Lino Grunewald, Julien Blaine, Jean-Claude Moineau, Jean-François Bory, Klaus Groh, Bartolomé Ferrando, Fernando Aguiar, Bob Cobbing and my own. color=#000000> Clemente Padin, Montevideo, Uruguay, November 24, 2000Content-Type: IMAGE/JPEG >Content-ID: <00f501c055ad$a4489fe0$474928c8@Adinet> >Content-Description: > >Attachment converted: Macintosh HD:Untitled 5 (JPEG/JVWR) (0001363A) > -- _______________________________________________ nettime-lat mailing list nettime-lat@nettime.org http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-lat
