For this performance, artist Istvan Kantor, returns to the Neoist memorial and monument he established at a tree in downtown Calgary during M:ST 4. Kantor inaugurated the tree as a new meeting place, landmark and tribute to the immortal spirit of dead artists, scientists and revolutionaries. This Neoist memorial is dedicated to the work of the correspondence artist David Zack. This event is presented in conjunction with the launch of “Amazing Letters: The Correspondance of David Zack,” edited by Istvan Kantor.
