Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

Abbott was released on parole in June 1981 despite the misgivings of prison officials. Abbott was given a sentence of three to 23 years for stabbing another inmate in a Utah prison. In 1971 his sentence was increased by 19 years after he escaped and committed a bank robbery in Colorado. Norman Mailer supported Abbott's attempts to gain parole after he helped him publishing a collection of prison letters.

47-year-old performance artist Danny Devos aka DDV performs '13 Galleries and Only One DDV in Town' in Antwerpen, Antwerpen, Belgium. During the opening of exhibitions in the Antwerp art galleries I left behind unnoticed plastic ALDI bags filled with earth from my hole between the works of other artists in the galleries.
