death after life, life after death, a call

[anna balint]

You're right, Florian. 
Wu Ming (no name) first committed suicide, and than he started publishing.
He was a young performance artists (perhaps he was known as Qi Lei) who 
died of hypothermia, in an Ice Burial performance, as seen in the performance 
'Frozen' documented on video, somewhere in China.
Than in 2000 Wu Ming took over the Q publishing project, after the seppuku of 
Luther Blisset.

and because Monty Canstin is so open, none can be sure
what s/he is doing. But it is sure that after Bunny was killed,
and Ray Johnson performed his Nothing performance in 1995,
I got several of those cards that usually announced address 
changes, but these ones in 1995-1996 announced changes of names.
I classified these announcements under the  Monty Cantsin 
in transition file, at Artpool, in Budapest.

greetings,
Anna

Not that I/he would know.

AFAIK, they're still alive and kicking (/writing).
