We, the grup converseallstar, an artistic collective working out of a squat in copenhagen, are pleased to reveal that the person you have been referring to as 'Chris' is in fact a composite, a piece of representative artwork designed to promote our vision of a more dystopian utopia, or possibly a more utopian dystopia (our English is not so good, and the aims of the project were originally discussed in a new international language for arts called 'bevvy', where the words for dystopia (bevvy) and utopia (bevvy) bear a remarkable similarity, differing only in the pronunciation of the second x.

Our physical representative of the artwork called Chris has been a little-known danish actor called » to whom we would express our qualified gratitude. Anybody who has met him late at night will appreciate the reasons for this qualification, and we can only really apologise - there was some misunderstanding about overtime. In retrospect bevvy was probably not the ideal language for contract negotiations. In particular the fact that the word for 'strictly no' (bevvy) is exactly the same as 'double time after midnight' (bevvy) has proved a particular stumbling block, while to be honest even we were suprised as the original developers of the language to discover that the idea of "and don't piss it all away and act like a tit" cannot in fact be expressed at all. You will be glad to hear that we have not actually handed over any cash pending a decision from the Danish supreme court on whether contracts written in bevvy (or indeed any contracts written in lipstick on napkins from lap-dancing bars) are legally binding.

Anyway, to anybody who has not enjoyed our art (or little joke if you prefer to see it in that way) we can only jeer and throw empty bottles filled with our piss (a clever play on your woeful record on recycling you have in your UK), whilst to people with a sense of humour and a critical eye for intelligent modern art we would point to our own myspace pages, where several of us have included our CVs in the hope of selling out and getting a profitable job in advertising at the earliest opportunity. As to those of us who remain - we shall be in the pub speaking in bevvy and drinking all night until our parents are bled dry. Thank you.
