Late last year I got an email from a guy named Juao Evangelista.
i wanted to know if you would be okay with me re-enacting your “I will talk with anyone about anything“.
im living in Sweden, and this is the local unspoken social contract:

so, i think it would be great to re-stage that here.
A couple weeks ago I got an email with these photos.
Dear Steve,
Sorry for a late reply.
I wrote you a long while ago, about re-enacting your work ‘i will talk with (..)‘.
I did it in Lund, Sweden – at a temporary bus stop, cous the main one was under reconstruction.
So i made a small table out of old pallets, and dragged a city bench next to the temporary bus stop – so people could have a place to sit while waiting for the bus.
after i finished the performance, i left the installation there, with a print-out from your website on how to do it.
thx for letting me do it, it was quite an aeffect on peoples day – a lot of great random conversations, and unexpected encounters.
wishing all the best, joao
