Status report
A brief status report is in order. Our apologies for the resounding blog silence that has followed the conference and exhibition opening. Project fatigue and other pressing matters have taken up most of last week, and the promised summary of day 2 etc has been delayed.

We would like to take the opportunity to again thank all the staff involved in the project, our Generator.x “family” which grew as the event approached and carried it smoothly to fruition. Even more so we would like to thank the artists and lecturers, as well as all the people who came and made it such a success. It was a great thing to see people with varied backgrounds (professional, national, theoretical) come together to discuss a topic that might seem marginal, yet which it has been our mission to propose as having a general impact. Your participation proves the point.

Future events
We have already had lots of questions about future Generator.x events. As of today, the plan is that the blog will remain active as a platform, the exhibition will tour Norway until 2008 and a Generator.x concert series (curated by Alexander Rishaug and produced by Rikskonsertene) will take place in spring 2006. Right now there are no plans for repeating the conference, but given time to recover we might well decide to do it again in some form or another. If you have serious proposals for Generator.x events, co-productions etc. then email us with your ideas.

Reviews
We have so far received two reviews of the exhibition, both in Norwegian. Jørgen Larsson wrote a review on Kunstkritikk.no which amounts to what we would in Norwegian would call a “slaughter” (”slakt”), i.e. a very unfavorable one. We will work with him to translate it into English, so that the artists involved etc. can see what his criticisms are. Kunstkritikk is a debate forum as well as review site, so there is always the possibility of responding to attacks. Truls Lie wrote a far more positive one for the Norwegian edition of Le Monde Diplomatique, which we will make available as well.

Expect this blog to return to normal (including the promised pieces of information) in the next few weeks.
