>LINK PROJECT
>Link Project started in Bologna, in central Italy, in 1994.
>Link is difficult to define: itís a club space, a cultural meeting point
>but also a research centre for contemporary arts.
>The activities are developed by separate groups, each specialising their
>own field: video, music, theatre, sculpture, technology and
>communications,
>working together like a living organism.
>All activities are followed from research to production to distribution.
>Link chooses to research and experiment, welding different media in an
>"impure fashion", willingly accepting a dirty hands on image.
>Link is very far from the comfortable scene of established culture.
>During the last 5 years, the following artists have played at Link: Alex
>Patterson (The Orb), Bandulu, Richard D. James, Scanner + Main (Subrosa
>Night), Test Department, Red Snapper, Spring Heel Jack, Grand Master
