symposium held in Hong Kong, December 2001.

the issues involved in operating artist-run organsiations in different
parts of the world. Speakers from 17 organizations from 12 cities presented
papers and performances at the two day conference.
The publication contains these papers as well as commentary and critique
on the symposium. Space Traffic acts as a document that tracks the issues
