who is oresto?

there we go...

at http://www.undo.net/oreste it says:

Who is Oreste? Nobody is Oreste. It is not a group that produces
collective artworks. It is not a trade union for artists. It is not a
non-profit organisation. Up to now it has been a variable set of people,
prevalently made up of Italian artists who have been working together with
the aim of creating spaces of freedom and of action for ideas, inventions,
projects since about two years ago when a summer residency programme was
set up by them in Paliano.  These artists "found" each other (and continue
to find each other in a ramified and open process) and make a habit of
collaborating and relating with others. Their way of working is probably
shared by many others, in Italy and internationally.  Residency
programmes, workshops, web sites, meetings, trips, live or e-mail
conferences, books, theoretical discourse and public statements. Such
practices show the vitality of Oreste and its ability to join resources,
qualities and experience, to question languages and be open to differing
contexts and relationships, to identify and experience channels of
communication without prejudice.

The invitation to take part in the Venice Biennial represents an
opportunity to create new contacts with other groups,
organisations of individuals who work or have been working, maybe for
quite a while already, according to similar experimental and relational
criteria. Future common projects as well as connections, exchanges
of ideas and information might be established.
