For my lecture at the University of East London about the ties between cave art and contemporary art, I made a selection of texts from a new book, Cave Art Now, itself a selection from my Residua. In addition, I made a selection of slides that had been prepared for my previous lectures on the subject. I have been reading the text aloud and viewing the slides for a few days. Every now and then I add or subtract a piece of writing or a slide, but such changes are becoming quite rare. And I am enjoying myself ever more. However, the closer I get to a lecture to my liking, the more I lose track of my audience. God only knows what the good people will make of it. Alas, one always ends up by talking to oneself!

Addendum (February 23, 2003)

Ditto for the book, of course.
