_On the 22nd of May we'll announce the extra places distribution results [excact names], and there will be NO time extension to that.

continue reading if you are VISA NEEDING COUNTRIES...or just curious :-}

_From the 22nd to the 25th of May we will accept list of the data needed for visas for each participant [name,last name,country of residence+nationality,valid passport number and dates] THE DATES CAN BE 15JULY-13AUGUST OR LESS we agreed with our Ministry of Foreign Affairs that we'll write down the excuse of coming earlier to help.BUT,THESE DATES WILL BE VISA DATES AND PLEEEEEAASE NOT REAL TICKET DATES,CAUSE WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HOST MANY PEOPLE,NEITHER WORK EFFECTIVELY.

_The embassades in your countries will receive this list from our Ministry and GIVE YOU PRIORITY to receive them, so you won't have to wait in line!!

_In order for you to receive the visas we [easa007 organisers] will send you the invitation letter with your names, and with that paper you can go to the embassades and get the free visas. ATTENTION In order to send you the invitation letters you must have payed the participation fees, cause the Ministry wants us to confirm this way that you 'll definately come, and not publish visas for nothing!!! So, i propose that you start preparing yourselves...

that's all [sorry for being so long, but it's absolutely necessary info]

Dear friends and family,

now that the applications deadline passed, i'm writing you to let you know that we have not received ANY applications from these countries :

_Albania _Bulgaria _Esthonia _Finland _Germany _Iceland _Kosovo _Liechtenstein _Portugal _Serbia

anyway, if we do not receive any news_applications from the above countris' NCs until THURSDAY the 3rd of May, we will consider your places as vacant and give them away, cause there is a huge extra places request from everybody.

so,if any NC intends to apply, HURRY UP!!!

Hello, dear organisers. My workshop application wasn't received by your (workshop-at-easa007.gr) post box - inbox is full. I've resend it to your mailbox on gmail, ok?

uuu can't wait for this summer mess to begin again!:)in the meantime as we dream I thought you might help with one thing here...could anyone advise me what are the cheapest and quickest ways to get to Germany (Leipzig or Berlin or at least somewhere near) from where easa is going to reside this year? What are the cheapest airlines operating on this routes? or anyone would be thinking to go that direction towards the end of easa?

Dear NCs and all of you EASA dinos and friends of EASA!

As you probably know, there's a project of EASA online archive going on. We need you to contribute with the information about the archive material you might have. We have sent the excel file to the NCs to fill in with the basic info about the material. So far we haven't recieved many replies. But we hope you'll reply :) Soon.

And all of you who would like to help us and haven't recieved that file yet or don't know anything about the project, write us at easa (dot) archive (at) gmail (dot) com. We are very interested in all the material you have (final reports, pictures, umbrella issues, workshop materials, films...) especially of the events prior to 2002.

So, don't be shy! We are waiting!

Impex - Contemporary Art Provider announces a call for participation in the Inbetween Zone workshop.

Challenged by the ongoing rapid and substantial transformation of urban environment, IMPEX aims to act as a platform for the critical analysis of urban development, social discourse and collaboration in art and cultural practices. Therefore, with its own location as a starting point, and at the same time encompassing a wider general discourse on the role of cultural potentials in urban development, IMPEX initiates a long-term interdisciplinary research project. This long-term project will include workshops, exhibitions, public interventions, publications and other alternative methods of collecting, generating and organizing ideas and knowledge.

The first stage of the project is the workshop entitled Inbetween Zone, which will take place from 16 to 23 June 2007, simultaneously with the 7th Biennial of European Towns and Town Planners. (www.makingplaces.hu)

The 'Corvin Promenade' project covers an area larger than 80,700 m2 in a zone of the VIII. district adjacent to the downtown (www.corvinsetany.hu), presently undergoing complete urban and architectural reconstruction. Meanwhile, development projects of a different scale, but similar impact as regards urban restructuring, are under way in two neighboring districts (VII, IX). This continuous zone, reaching over districts, will be the ground of the workshop.

Themes of the Workshop are:

1. Public art and urban planning
2. Techniques of collective and individual intervention: how inhabitants can use and form their own living-space
3. Grassroots: creative, grassroots initiations vs. urban planning
4. Limits to planning: limitations of urban planning projects
5. Mistake assessment: analysis and planning of errors in city development projects.
6. Urban policy and identity formation: urban legends - local heroes

Workshop structure: Throughout a one-week workshop 30 selected participants will work out the above listed topics in 5 different groups (approx. 6 people/group), with the guidance of tutors. Methods and approaches will be developed collectively within the group. The results of the workshop will be introduced in the form of an exhibition and a public presentation in Impex. The official language of the workshop is English.

What do we provide? Maximum 100 EUR traveling cost for the participants, accommodation and production costs of the workshop. Participation in the workshop is free of charge.

Whom do we expect? Hungarian and foreign applicants who are engaged in the fields of culture, commerce, media or social sciences (artists, architects, sociologists, urbanists, cultural managers, philosophers, filmmakers, anthropologists, designers, economists, managers, communication experts, etc.).

The application has to include: CV and attached documentation of relevant professional practices in English or Hungarian. We accept applications via email, not larger than 1 MB, to the following address: urbancreativity@gmail.com

Deadline for applications: 14 May 2007

The workshop is realized through the collaboration of IMPEX - Contemporary Art Provider and FKSE - Studio of Young Artists Association.

IMPEX - Contemporary Art Provider is a new art scene in the 8th district of Budapest. The venue, which consists of a gallery, a workshop room and an office, presents experimentally minded and progressive artwork. It also accommodates studio practices, lectures and creative, interdisciplinary initiatives. Its objective is to aid cooperation and permeability between different areas of art, and, through its open and receptive structure, create a living connection with various social groups and civilian initiatives.

Due to a mutually beneficial cooperation between a bar (club) and a non-profit cultural institution, IMPEX is presently found in the building of West Balkan (www.west-balkan.com). - one of the last, temporarily standing houses in a large territory going through complete architectural and urban metamorphosis.

Organizers of the workshop: Tamás Kaszás (artist), Katarina Sevic (artist), Rita Kálman (art historian, independent curator), Sophie Dodelin (artist)

Dear Easians

The office where i'm currently workin as an intern has got assigned a large project in The Hague and is looking for a new intern (and new qualified employees) and to deal with the workload and start the actual design.

It's a medium office (14ppl) near central station in Amsterdam, friendly athmosphere, not hierarchic, stubborn and a bit idealistic in its designs.
