On 11June2013, Paul McLean, Shane Kennedy and Eric Leiser convened at #411 Brooklyn Fire Proof to conduct the first session of The Society for the Prevention of Creative Obsolescence [SftPoCO]. Although the free-ranging discussion was focused in large part on 4D painting techniques and theory, with much attention given to materials, the Society afforded ample opportunity for other threads. One special highlight: Eric shared a story from his past about intercontinental, international lung collapse.
