NEWS
Our big news from the kitchen is that Versal V is at the printer. We expect to have it in our hands at the beginning of May, shortly after that you'll be able to get a copy in your hands. Next month we'll send you word about the great Vth! (V for Victory) launch party we are planning on May 10.
The Open Stanza this month is going to knock your socks off!
Who is this man, and how is he going to rock your socks?
Blue Foundation frontman MC Jabber is one of 7 wonderful artists coming from around Europe to entertain you this month. TimeOut called him phenomenal – 'nuff said. Also on the stage will be music by Oguz Buyukerber, poetry and sound from Wrong Object guitar man Michel Delville from Belgium, more poetry from Gaby Bila-Gunther AKA Lady Gaby from Australia via her residency in Berlin, and to round it all off poetic plastic theatre from Belgians Philip Meersman + Lieven Vercauteren. A packed evening and worthwhile if we ever put on such an incredible show for 5 euros please.
Megan, after working round the clock to put the issue to bed, is taking a well-earned break in Montana, doing a bit of climbing, writing, and indulging in American Cuisine (waffles, donuts, chinese food & steaks). We hope she will be as pleased to see her fellow curators when she returns at the end of the month as she will be to see Versal V.
Robert has written text for a piece for the music group Hexnut. Hexnut is a quintet of five musical beasts that plays surprising and direct new music. The European premiere of this piece will take place during the Karnatic Lab Festival on 14 April at the Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam.
Cralan will be performing at the Live Poets Society in Paris on April 17th. He also has a newly completed and updated website online where you can see details and performance footage: www.cralan.com
