Thomas was here again, his fourth visit in less than a year. And again, I was overwhelmed by his fire and energy. We actually have a GO for the Bijlmer Spinoza-Festival, which will take place from 9 May - 11 July 2009.
The sculpture will consist of a BIG BOOK (Spinoza's Ethica) which houses among others a Spinoza exhibition, a library, a Bijlmer documentation centre an internet cafe, a take-out restaurant, a workshop space and a stage. Every day, for two months, Thomas will be there, together with local inhabitants and a group of invited philosophers and art critics. There will be daily philosophical lectures, a Spinoza play (written by Marcus Steinweg and performed by an amateur theatre group form the Bijlmer), live radio or tv broadcasts, etc.
You gotta admire the man's ambition and determination.
