"We're going through something very similar in real estate that we did with stocks," said Robert J. Shiller - a professor of economics at Yale, whose prescient book on stocks, "Irrational Exuberance" (Princeton University Press, 2000), appeared just a few months before technology stocks began their slide. "It's driven by the same forces: that investments can't go bad; that it has the potential to make you rich; that you'll regret it if you don't do it; that it looks expensive but is really not."

Cinema Zero, founded in 2004, fosters experimental cross-collaborations. Drawing from the collaborations and events at "Degree Zero / A Certain American Scene," a series organized in Grenoble by Olivier Mosset in the autumn of 2004, Cinema Zero has continued to strengthen is mission of fostering collaboration and experimentation with its Winter Solstice Program, featuring a film program curated by Amy Granat and an exhibition by Paul-Aymar Morgue d'Algue. This winter, dancer/choreographer Felicia Ballos and Amy Granat performed at Lombard-Fried and, through March 26, artist Rich Aldrich and Granat have an installation on view at Olivier Kamm in the exhibition KA/VH : RA/AG. Ballos and artist Anna Craycroft are currently working on developing a dance performance for fall 2005 that will be presented at the S I.

"Erik Satie and his cronies, after begging everyone in the gallery to ignore them, broke out into what they called Furniture Music-that is, background music-music as wallpaper, music to be purposely not listened to. The patrons of the gallery, thrilled to see musicians performing in their midst, ceased talking and politely watched, despite Satie's frantic efforts to get them to pay no attention."
