Dear artists, thinkers,

When I launched the Museum of the Essential and Beyond That, in 2002, I
wrote:

"Bit by bit, we intend to place some problems in the Museum building,
because we do not intend it to become an aseptic parody of a real museum. We
predict the need to restore this cultural machine once it has become the
victim of its own success and the enormous number of visitors it attracts.
Every once in a while, a room or gallery could be shut down for repairs. "

Now the prediction is true. The museum is very big, lots of files, lots of
artists, it is difficult to find a work there. So that I decided that next
year I will do many changes to improve our site. I am starting by the
design, which is a little bit overcome. So that all the musem will be
redesigned and all the links verified.

I intend to start work on a catalogue with the complete relation of artists,
links for the works at the museum and to the artists personal websites.
Because of this I am writing you to ask for a small bio and a small
statement on your work
(+ - 6 lines each one), it does not need to be on the work at the musem, it
can be a statement on your whole work. Could you send me this until the
end of year?

Next year I will not accept new works and I will not do collaborative
reviews, but every month I will be announcing a new redesigned gallery and
the artists there. If you want to change your work sent in 2002 or later,
please do it now.

I am sending this message to lists because some emails I sent to museum's
artists and thinkers
returned for me and I do not know their new email adresses.

Thanks for your kind attention and for having a work at the museum,.
