The Invisible Transfer of Signals

"I really like to run experiments. Instigating ideas and collecting projects. The Invisible Transfer of Signals is a sort of experiment in so many ways:

a stimulating collection of guests and performances that yields a marvelous spectrum of insights in visual arts, music, architecture, design, performance;

a thinking, meeting and having fun console within the fabulous building in 1 Belgrave Square, casting strange shadows from different pasts and regimes;

an attempt to find smooth ways for genuine cultural cooperation ideas in a labyrinth of bureaucracy".
