This month DAI will finally embark on a slow boat to China !
Much to his regret Maarten de Reus asked me to inform you that due to family circumstances he will not be able to travel to China with us. He asked Berlin based Dutch artist Hester Oerlemans, former painter, now working on projects in public space, to replace him.
As far as "The Silent Third' is concerned we are still working out a way to keep Maarten involved although unfortunatedly he won't be able to spent much time on big projects in 2004. I will inform you as soon as I decided upon an outline for next year's programme.
