Which is basically business boostrapping: start a business with almost no money, which in the present conditions, of what it seems to become a prolongued downturn, is the only chance the art and knowledge has.
And not to be an hypocrite standing in front of hopefull artists, I am doing it myself. Running two projects and documenting the edeavours in this blog.
Bootstrapping or booting refers to a group of metaphors that share a common meaning: a self-sustaining process that proceeds without external help. The term is often attributed to Rudolf Erich Raspe’s story The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen, where the main character pulls himself out of a swamp, though it’s disputed whether it was done by his hair or by his bootstraps.[1] quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping
Bootstrappers – people who start and grow successful companies with almost no money. Is this group going to be a gathering of munhauseners ??
Only time will tell.
