April 13th

we left in the morning at Penn Station to go to New Jersey to visit Julie Martin.
What an amazing time we had with her.
A short explanation :
Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T) was a non-profit and tax-exempt organization established to develop collaborations between artists and engineers. It was officially launched in 1967 by the engineers Billy Kluver and Fred Waldhauer and the artists Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman. Julie is Billy Kluver's wife and she still manage the experiences they had in the sixties when technology started to be developped.
Many famous artists like Christo or Warhol did worked with them.
Julie Martin is an exellent francophile, I am sure that she speaks fluently french. She knows what the "ordinateur individuel" is....And also that we had the "minitel" in France.
We saw her books, her pictures, her archives. She received us so kindly, and she is a very smart person. I feel so lucky to met her...
She owns the organization's memory and what we saw at her home was an extraordinary precious memory of Art in the sixties and seventies.
She wants now to translate all the reports she has on files in a computer.
I can't express the feeling of touching so closely a major part of Art history.
This is Julie Martin on the left and Julia Knight from Apexart on the right.
Thanks both for this amazing time.

Dear Pierre, you were right.... Somebody can find what the problem is on this picture?

Sun was falling down as I arrived to Brooklyn for a performance between a chemist ( Kent Kirshenbaum) and a Chef (Will Goldfarb) at the Bell House.
Love that area of New York with all that olds factories.

Obviously they talked about " El Bulli "Ferran Adria Which is THE place that I want to go before Dying...Ferran was Elected best chef in the world and you have to book one year before going. His cook is a mixed of food science and Art.
Have a look :
