Dear Readers:
It's hard to believe but summer is almost over. Of course, we've spent our time wisely. Today's post is the largest we've ever done--25 items! In addition, the FACFE blog header now has an image and we are working on a few cool things that are scheduled for unveiling in mid-October.
As of today, the posting schedule returns to a new normal. The Keeper must (temporarily) modify the schedule so updates will appear every two weeks instead of once of week. We plan to return to weekly postings by November.
As always, thanks for your readership.
The Keeper

The Cultural Foundation for the Textile Art and the Art Gallery of Szombathely will organise the 3rd Triennial of Textile Art in June 2009 in the Gallery of Szombathely.
Theme: presence = being present
When we unfold the word "presence" and discover its two semantic constituents – "being" (being part of the material world; being) and "present" (the present time, the era in which we are living – we find that when they are matched and juxtaposed in one word – "presence" – the meanings of the two separate notions assume new complex meanings pointing far beyond their individual meanings.
