OK, I'm back from the pub -- whaddid I miss?
For me personally, and this is something that I have been vocal about in conversations:
just because there is an existing method of organising large-scale poster events - the American Flatstock model - it doesn't mean that it is the one and only way to do things, or that European designers should be considered 'behind' because we aren't replicating this model.
As Chloe very rightly pointed out, we Europeans ARE busy organising shows and exhibitions and tour serieses, etc. etc. and a lot of it might not be poster related but it's still relevent and worthwhile.
I don't think it's fair, or even prudent, to suggest that someone appoint themselves a Euro-Kozik and 'force' any particular situation to arise. Things are happening at a faster rate than Rene's shortsignted view of EU artists would have you believe...
