Appreciation goes to Dr. Michele Ginoulhiac of the Gallery Association of Ariège and Rebecca Fairman, Director of Arthouse1 London, who so stylishly hosted and facilitated the off-site exhibitions 'Ground, Rules, Paintings: A Quartet', and ‘Transforming Surfaces’ respectively.

Thanks also go to Saturation Point London, for the involvement in the 'Transforming Surfaces' project and for introducing a wider audience to The Mercus Barn projects by publishing a number of interviews and artists' discussions.

Finally, for their continued support and generosity, thanks to the British composer, Michael Parsons, and again, to Dr. Michèle Ginoulhiac, who runs the Gallery Association of Ariège (which includes the Gallery Lycée Gabriel Fauré, an educational annex of Les Abattoirs, the museum of modern art in Toulouse).
