FOREWORD For over twenty years he has been writing articles and giving lectures. Many of them have been unusual in form � this is especially true of the lectures � because he has employed in them means of composing analogous to his composing means in the field of music. his intention has been often, to say what he had to say in a way that would exemplify it; that would conceivably, permit the listener to experience what he had to say rather than just hear about it. This means that, being as he is engaged in a variety of activities, he attempts to introduce into each one of them aspects conventionally limited to one or more of the others.

By this foreword I assume that many of you especially who reviewed his portfolio is confused whether am I speaking in first or third person? It could be both.

STILL LIFE IN BAGHDAD 1256-2002

Interventions

the horse stood alone on the hillside 1256-2003

Four Royal Army Officers and five performers at four spots on one site had intended to convey a happing from a territory to another to challenge our perspective toward globe awareness, civic engagement and collective action. Political developments have obviously influenced the development and appearance of images (objects, information) not just in terms of scenery, but even more in terms of meaning and mediatisation. Notions of Democracy, Freedom and Human Rights are constantly being shaped by economic and political developments, which profoundly affect and modify our perception and position.

↱ THE BEAUTY OF RANDOM AND THE BOREDOM OF URBAN I have convinced and engaged the shops owners to change the commercial signboards of their shops in Brussels street, Maastricht where �How To Make An Exhibition For People Who Won�t Come?� event took place. The size of the actual signboards were kept, but all changed into same design; blue typeface on white plastic sheet. The shops owners support the project financially. The intervention dealt with several issues; awareness of environment, misery of signs, globalisation, free market, commercial motives and over designed surroundings.

EIGHTH PICTURE
At the end of this tunnel, there was no light, but floor and ceiling met in a thin black line. As he slowly walked towards the horizon, he left a stream of objects in his wake. They fell from his body, together with his clothes.
