Notes

This program is a re-edition of the printed program according to significant, subtantial, important variations and changes abdel and surpik did as co- curators considering two things 

1-the printed program was made 8 months before knowing the results of the exhibits produced by both, as soon as geeting the result exhibits they realized to do major variations in the program of lectures anounced to be done at the rice media center

Decision to changes titles and references to lectures contents throught poslectures editions, 

2-Two unespected lectures out of program developed at sewall hall very earlier january by abdel at the faculty of anthropology including poslectures dialogues also provoqued to variate the lectures contents, all the discussed lectures contents mush be regarded only to tape and film recorded documented by Surpik angelini and film director Brian huberman

This re-edited program mantains however several things exactly as it was included at the printed program 

1- the dates, hours, places and artists of both the exhibits openings and the artists names to be discussed by day

2-the aknowledgments to contributors, sponsors, institutions and persons crédits listed at the printed program are the same, the same list of persons crédits contributions, sponsors, etc, included at the printed program was also at each exhibit release promotion and walls

3-the set asíde, independent, separated program printed to the market from here stay exactly as it was printed

All that stay the same
