In the night, in a ritualistic performance, Lorenzo Pace as the shaman moved around all installations followed by a serpentine artists parade to awake the spirit of art, then Willem Brugman read Miguel Algarin’s Body Bee Calling (from 21st Century) poem, with Alessandro Figurelli ,as second voice, translating it in Italian for the audience, while an old masquerade Sardinian sheep man, holding in his hand the green nuraghic warrior statuette, from the 1986 mythological attack at the EveArt Opera in New York, was moving around following a ritual Sardinian path.
As in a modern rite, dedicated to the Bruce Richard Nuggent’s Fire of Harlem 1926 and to the bronze mutant of Sardinia, Sandro Dernini, who was just arrived from being away for two days by a car breakdown, with Paolo Maltese and Assane M’Baye, who was chosen by Kre MBaye and Langouste Mbow in Dakar as their representative, ritually burned his clothes as ending of his image of Plexus artistic director, that he had played until then.

On 13 June 1982, 43 years ago, from a row 7000 sq. feet loft at 516 W. 25 St, in Chelsea area of New York, the Plexus project was launched , with a modern sacrifice party dedicated to the modern gods of the modern cities,conceived by Sandro Dernini. The Plexus project, initiated by Sandro Dernini, R oberto Brambilla, Gianni Longo and Richard Flood, was at once an idea and a space.
PLEXUS is about the city - any city, every city. It is about the wonder of a skyline that won't stop climbing and a blanket of pollution that can't stop spreading.
It's about an atmosphere that swell culture and swallows real estate. It's about a dream that is as illogical as soft watches and as seductive as the promise of immortality. PLEXUS is dedicated to the preposition that all cities are not created equal, only the people who inhabit them. It is further committed to the proposition that the people of cities are creative survivalists who refuse and acknowledge the laws of nature and who glory in adversity.
There is, in the collective heart of the people of the cities, a wild, unremitting thirst for the impossible contradictions that make them simultaneous victims and victors. PLEXUS believes that the creative involvement of the individual can do more to enhance a responsive environment than all the bureaucratic machinations of infinity of public agencies. To this end PLEXUS is designed to foster an international network of urban dreamers and realists, theoreticians and pragmatists. PLEXUS means to proceed from observation through discussion and celebration. Its goals are the achievement of a heightened understanding of the possibilities of the city and the definition of alternatives which will accelerate the realization of those possibilities.
