We held exhibitions at the TAC (Temporary Art Centre) in Eindhoven. This location offers studio space to a wide range of artists and hires space for presentations. We wanted to stimulate creative dynamics and discourse during this exhibition. Therefore we brought in a writer to write on the duo exhibition and placed a computer in the space whereby the public also had the opportunity to respond. These public responses could also be entered in the resulting booklets . No serious responses resulted. The exhibitions were simple and delicate.
