hi everyone I get some rest after few days running after time...

The last week-end was pretty good. Johanness and three other belgians were there to visit the funkin french team, to visit "La condition Publique", and to buy whatever stuffs from the braderie of Lille...

Team First, last thursday, the french team; the border´s crosser from Dortmund, Liege, and Brussel; some students from Lille attracted by the noise made by easa003, allltogether had this large meeting with the few bosses from La Condition Publique... Manu Barron, the big one, Laurent the 2004 one, Pascale the money one, and Bill the material one... Those people have just few things to see with the organisation of easa in fact. They are leading this machine of culture for now few years... And Manu accepted last december after Bornholm, to housed us …

As you may know , for 2004 Lille will be European Capital of Culture and the building and all the projects inside is part of it...

Projects I-Land, a Jamaican Festival, from April 2004, and Extra-mundi, a small utopias festival, from september 2004 with the presence of artist from Barcelone, Genoa, and Brussel (Recycl´Art). As you see easa, is just between and will influence and be influenced by the organisation (as almost a part of it, the debat is open ) of the festival of small utopias.

(Hi)Story. Although La Condition Publique keep a serious desire of independance from the shinny and brillant side of the european Capital of Culture. The general cultural project of this place has (and is) another (hi)story. The building, “La Condition Publique” use to be an indutrial and arrogant place where were stocked the wool balls to be bought by the numerous textil factories of the city of Roubaix…. The building was (and still) completely integrated in the life of the neighborhood. Today, the textil is gone and the whole rich economy of the city with it. Social problem, depression. The city-hall is now betting on culture and architecture, and dared to start enormous works to turn it onto a 10 000m2 factory of culture.

The 04 september meeting was good indeed, we start to set up the working group and soon the english part of the internet site will be on line. Now the main deal and work is to know where we´ll sleep... We have two options , In the first days of october, this problem will be sliced and decided. From that, you will now more about the theme

?.theme ? you have to read between lines

....Well.... ok

“Micropolitan, Metropolitan” was imagined a lot before finding La Condition Publique. The initial task is to speak about a story of one single man facing a 1 million inhabitant metropole. Then.... then next episode in october….

comments? jerome

Hi everyone

Juste a word about the next next year. It will be an urban easa as you know it. The theme will be "Metropolitan / Micropoltitan", so how to live in a town of 1 million people with a human scale... We work hard to set up all the organization and the main workshop. It will be about the minimum living in a big town (or another thing, maybe a surprise)... the idea is that we will live with people of the city. To divide their life, experiments and emotions and to work together. 500 easa with 1 million people... All your remarks and suggestions are the welcomes... Thanks (and sorry for my english)
