I did not receive a reply, nor did I get a reply from any other avenues regarding Icilio projects. I even tried through an art gallery, which featured an exhibition of his works a few years ago in which his descendants seem to have been involved - still nothing. Sad that not even his own family is interested now.Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02365505474082512838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112388761692540812.post-8718889030942718962014-12-22T14:35:20.097-08:002014-12-22T14:35:20.097-08:00Hi Camille,

So thank you. Would love to hear any stories you have to tell about Icilio. If you see this, my email: starfugue@gmail.com<br />Do you know Serge and Judy, by the way?<br /><br />JamesJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17774522108286075947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112388761692540812.post-68990466797329850142013-04-14T22:02:26.800-07:002013-04-14T22:02:26.800-07:00Hi,

I know first hand how this kind of work can border on thankless, my Honours dissertation at uni was on a pioneering and largely ignored Australian sound artist (Jack Ellitt), I got good marks for it and a couple of people who knew him were pleased but that's about as far as interest in the project went. Nature of the beast I guess.<br /><br />Anyway, great work. It's good to know there's people out there who care about Icilio's legacy, and I love learning about who he was to others.<br /><br />CheersCamillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06577909933327641714noreply@blogger.com
