teresa and omi on the road again >> cittadellarte for the selection of the artists in residence for this years UNIDEE and to meet the staff of BIG Torino. next steps have to be taken. the first night T&o stay in a hotel somewhere in southfrance, where a lot of framed butterflies are hanging around. bye Angelo, bye bye.

we got invited to particípate with communimage in Sao Paolo: Competitive New Media Show of 13º Videobrasil International Eletronic Art Festival >> www.videobrasil.org.br
how strange, this is the third time that communimage goes to southamerica. and when T&o arrive in biella on the 9th of May they get an e-mail from an italian curator saying that he wants to show communimage in Bogota/Colombia within a workshop he's doing in an artschool there. fourth time.

cittadellarte - we meet Cees Krijnen again, and Leo Kessler is here too! and Judith Wielander, who is now curating the ARTE AL CENTRO show…and Sislej Xahfa and and and. so many people as projects. but first Torino. T&o present there the first websketches they did for bigguest.net. all goes well. well, they like it. we will continue they way we started : less is more, no funky flashfeatures, no tricky image games. inFORMation. Cees, who is one of the directly invited to BIG Social Game comes also to Torino. T&o show him the inner city where the most of BIG will happen. he wants to do something again with his WOMAN IN DIVORCE project. when he sees PIAZZA VITTORIA and omi tells him that "this is the bigest square in europe without a monument" Cees says: "I'll put one!"

he talks about making a huge Jeanne d'Arc-like monument - woman on horse in divorce - for and with his and all mothers in divorce. bronce…bronce? lets get surprised, in about two month the artistic committee will meet in Torino again to see and choose all BIG projects…

Teresa and omi have just 10 days of time. intensive days in cittadellarte, talks because of UNIDEE 2001 and BIG 2002. what a strange new side of looking to art. looking at art. but calc isn't a curator because it curates. to curate? why curators are ethymologically called healers? did they invent this term? calc contacts.

Michelangelo wants us to stay longer. "we can't", omi says, "we really can't". at home Valerie and Richard arrived and Luks parents will leave soon, we want to meet them. it's the first time somebody lives in studio2, or CABANON like we call it now. cabanon means something like shack. shaks get easier a construction permission...

the reason why Michealanglo wants us so hardly to stay is Giovanni Ferrero. a telematic specialist from Torino. we wonder! okay, okay, we'll stay some days more. and we meet him. his wife did a fanatstic Osso Bucco. we bring wine and sweets and many questions. perfect contact! Giovanni knows everything about the local net technics, backgrounds, possibilities. we enjoy an inspiring and funny evening. we'll keep in contact! and show Giovanni all the bigguest.net projects as soon as we know them all. middle or end of July.

byebye all you cittadellartists, see you soon end of June.
