At
the ground floor of the building at Sint-Jacobs an ethnic specialty shop,
Zahia, has found its home. The crox space was at the first floor.
May 1992: exit Signos. A negative advice
from Jan Hoet sr. This puts an end to a megalomaniac and interesting project Frank

gone through, albeit not under croxhapox’ guidance. The title had changed to Over
The Edges.

May 2004: The artistic leader proposes a
new plan: efforts will be directed more to involvement, effectivity and
attitude. The team
implodes. Ward, Raphaël and Robin leave. The new direction
is ok for Ward but he can’t find the time to keep on working in the team. Till
the end of 2004 Hans and Anja run the shop. Gerd stays aboard, though he too
can’t find much time to put in.

collection and sells all of it to support croxhapox. All memories of VR are
whiped from the record so the bugs won’t know where to bite.
