| Finally -- you might laugh after reading all of the above -- we are working hard on a new field of study at FoAM: [[http://fo.am/doing-nothing|Doing Nothing]]. In view of the malaise fuelled by stress, overwork, financial and social uncertainty and other well-known pain points pervading the cultural sector (though also the wider society of Europe and beyond), 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 to do this on a daily basis at a microcosmic scale, in FoAM itself, 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 that have begun to amass on the project's dedicated [[http://lib.fo.am/doing_nothing/|Libarynth page]]. | Finally -- you might laugh after reading all of the above -- we are working hard on a new field of study at FoAM: [[http://fo.am/doing-nothing|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 and games. But above all else we wish you plentiful time to do nothing and enjoy the abundance of life, whatever it may bring. Looking forward to seeing 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 and games.
