I just observed the striking discrepancy between the intensity of the discussions inside our think-tank and its accessibility for the outside world. The blog and the wiki turned out to be no appropriate tools to provide an insight into the processes happening here. So we're just figuring out a way to edit and transmit the enormous amount of material produced in here. Please be patient. It's not about ignorance or exclusivity, rather a question of how to get hold of a very intense process in a productive bubble.

I just want to throw in a reference that I came across not too long ago. Itâ€™s a publication titled Artistic Research (Annette W. Balkema & Henk Slager (Eds.), Amsterdam & New York 2004, Lier en Boog Series of Philosophy of Art and Art Theory Vol. 18). Somehow it was hard to get it in Germany.
