Dear Achille,

This brain sculpture ‘My Only Nation is Imagination’ is a gift to honour you as a great creative and energetic curator. Since I met and worked with you for the first time in the mid-eighties, and until today, I always experienced you as young, vivid spirit with a lot of imagination…In my imagination you are a great visionary curator. I strongly believe your visions will inspire the future generations…You are a man who honours the most important organ of our body, you are a man with a sexy and intelligent brain. Your friend, your partner in crime and your servant of beauty
