Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar
In February 1973 Pétain's coffin was stolen from the Île d'Yeu cemetery by extremists who demanded that President Georges Pompidou consent to his interment in the Douaumont cemetery among the war dead. Authorities retrieved the coffin a few days later and Pétain was ceremoniously reburied with a Presidential wreath on his coffin, but on the Île d'Yeu as before.

 20-year-old performance artist Danny Devos aka DDV performs 'A-B' with Lud Vandevelde in Koninklijke Akademie voor Schone Kunsten, Berouw, Gent, Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium. For an exhibition at the Academy of Fine Arts I painted a line of lime through the city with Lud Vandevelde as a connection between the studios and the exhibition space. Halfway we were arrested by the police. |
