outgoing collARTage "back to Venice" to Jürgen O. Olbrich (Germany)

outgoing collARTage "back to Venice" to Jürgen O. Olbrich (Germany) - I found this aquarell once in Venice in a litterbox itself, several years ago, well not a masterpiece, maybe that's why it was thrown away, it has got even some rain on it. I thought why not keep it for the right moment ... now it is the right moment: As far as Jürgen did something similar collecting thrown away paper stuff and he is starting a new performance in Venice, I'm wishing him good luck and fun for it.

Feuerberg Quintett to Jan Müller

Goethe war (k) ein Schiff to Jürgen O. Olbrich

rituals in Stonehenge to Angela
