Hi Jess, I do not know whether you remember me. Was engaged in doing M.A. when you graduated in 2007. Bumped into Les yesterday when I told him that I want to do a residency in Israel advised me to contact you. I know that in Jerusalem there is the museum of the Seam which is just such a Media Arts based project space. Any clues??? Coming to Israel in March. Love Shosh
