Press Release
"International Everything"
is the title for a series of short talks to be held at ®edux
over several evenings. On each occasion,
three invited speakers will present a topic that they feel extremely
interested in, but that is not their
specialism in the academic, scientific
or critical sense. Each talk will last
for a strict fifteen minutes. They may
use any kind of aide they wish - images,
film, objects,
anything.
Reminiscent of salon evenings and of certain dinner clubs in London
in the late 1950's,
"International Everything"
has no set theme for any one evening,
but sometimes, as has been the case for
the first event, subjects may appear
to relate to each other by chance.
Taking lots of books up to the caf� section in the book shop and then not buying them
- just looking at the pictures,
and wishing to know a little bit or a lot more. And then wanting
to tell other people because you have something that's about ten
minutes more than just an anecdote that starts and stops a bit too quickly -
ideas being followed in parallel to the main idea, the second being no more or
less important than the first but perhaps a little more vague,
oblique, uncertain.

Fran Colomb -
