Sure, technically ... http://www.thegreatpyramid.org/en/2008/05/09/sweden-likes-the-pyramid Last Monday night culminated in these three numbers when Ingo and I presented the Great Pyramid project at Kunsthochschule Kassel (Kassel Art School) upon invitation of Oliver Vogt, chair in industrial design there. Oliver on his part invited Philipp Oswalt, professor of architectural theory at the school, to join us ... http://www.thegreatpyramid.org/en/2008/05/05/six-ten-thousand-and-eight Looking forward to presenting the Great Pyramid in Kassel tomorrow (cf. the second last post), we remembered we have been already to this sleepy town in the heartland of Germany that only awakes once every five years when the global art caravan flies in for the documenta show.
