21 YEARS OF LIVING ART 1998-2019

I am "performing" 21 YEARS OF LIVING ART 1998-2019. It is divided into three cycles of 7 years and is designed for artists wishing to use those 7 years in their own creative way. I do nothing, they do everything. It was born in 1998 when I finished 14 YEARS OF LIVING ART(1984-1998).Why? Because I had so many incredible experiences while using time as art-endurance, that I wanted to share the structure with others.
