 Finally -- you might laugh after reading all of the above -- but we're working hard on a new project: Doing Nothing. In view of the malaise pervading the cultural sector but also throughout the wider society of Europe and beyond and fuelled by stress, overwork, financial and social uncertainty and other well-known pain points, FoAM has initiated a practice-based research programme on how to do nothing: creating space and time to decompress amidst our hectic lives. So far the research has looked at how how to do this on a daily basis at a microcosmic scale, in FoAM and our networks, but in 2014--2015 the programme will be extended. In the spirit of Doing Nothing, we may not document it explicitly or extensively, but we do encourage you to browse some of the exercises and inspirations have begun to amass on the project's dedicated Libarynth page.  Finally -- you might laugh after reading all of the above -- but we're working hard on a new project: Doing Nothing.

 To conclude this newsletter, we'd like to wish you a wonderful Yuletide and a beautiful 2014, with much space for speculation, experimentation, good food, fun, games and inspiring culture, and above all else plentiful time to do nothing and enjoy the abundance of life, whatever it may bring. See you on the other side of the holidays, in person or online… To conclude this newsletter, we'd like to wish you a wonderful Yuletide and a beautiful 2014, with much space for speculation, experimentation, good food, fun, games and inspiring culture, and above all else plentiful time to do nothing and enjoy the abundance of life, whatever it may bring.
