perhaps Eric's message has already made it clear that nobody is inviting 
the big cheeses; nobody has declared it is going to be a "grandiose" 
evening  just that it's a safe possibility to make matilda more public, 
as it fits its role of a building devoted to arts.


 From my viewpoint, as i've been involved since the beginning, the art 
05 open evening and successive days of exhibition may  serve as an 
"umbrella" for other fringe events as well where arts may be taken in a 
  widest sense.

Also i agree with you and support the suggestion that a set of 
priorities should be followed on the next meeting agenda: art05 
preparations is a priority, and perhaps reports from other collectives 
could follow afterwards, etc.
