16.10 Pipi and Balz (Papa..) are visiting cittadellarte! finally, we wanted to show this place to Pipi since years. we probably won't see each other for a year or longer. she'll go to work in the californian L.A. - Paul Mc.Carthy and Bruce Marden invited her to work with them, their students... we propose the spanish L.A. to Pipi when she says she wants to take distance and rethink everything…but she prefers the noisy one. take care, maybe we'll visit you in your L.A., or you come to ours! 18.10 again we talk about the 11th, what happened, what to do? Teresa comes back to Michelangelos idea to install an online-forum and present it the 31st, when the minimumprize will be given and Cameron does his concert! okay, lets try to do that. Michelangelos wants to write an "opening text", relating his work and the whole initiative of cittadellarte to the 11th -day where things (could have) changed. 19.10 we need to party! some real funkshowers from Barry Charlie White and DJomino (yesterday omi called Ginevra, the daughter of Armona and Paolo [the doughter and son-in-law from Michelangelo and Maria..] Ginevrita, she answered with 'yes omino?'!) 23Kb and guess whos here since some days already? 10 members of protoacademy, Edinburgh! Lyn Lionstone managed this fantastic visit! 10 open, critical and well tuned people with dancelust. may the sky fall on our heads and the images of the world tragedy center be shown for the thousandth time, we need to forget now. and remember our bodys as adrenaline- bowls. the new tricky album blow back (sent to us from mister ex-unideealist from 2002, the wondering wonder himself >> Tom Dalebratiooon! as a special gift for good 2001parties!) is a big surprise! Tom! remember that last year the a.i.r urgently proposed a discothek?? 2000, when we still had to dance around the project tables? this wish got true! jumping, checking and flashing with the protos until 5 in the morning. not one sole keeps ground… was there ever a time in which people were able to communicate all their needs and ideas by only dancing them? if not, this time just has began. 21.10 most protos are leaving soon next morning, they almost leave while sleeping. bye firedancers, lets keep us in minds and sendfolders…and Nico Dockx comes. the artist who proposed to do the BIG catalog as a space-time-translation. we are excited to meet him…since some weeks we are in mailcontact…talking about how and if the catalog will be and that we'll meet soon > now, we are sitting around a table. Nico, Teresa, Michelangelo and omi. the question is how to do a catalog for BIG. aren't catalog always boring, too expensive and and too heavy? aren't they relics of an academic modern wish to archive everything between fat flaps? why not thin databodies? no, the hardware to play them are still mostly luxury, we should try to hook on an old medium in order to translate BIG's presences. why not a magazine, a serie of magazines, 4? this way we could show "all" the process and reflect also other essentials of BIG, like the city itself, the change of this city … we're following this idea until we see that its good one, and disperse into the dinners possibilites of cittadellarte. Agustin, from Colombia, el señor salsa con la sonrisa de la confianza, does a performance. he walks with a looong broom, on which 12 sybils could easily take place, through the innercity of Biella. strange that so many people look with questions in their eyes, just because a broom is long. but, its also because Agus is so straight. like a proud sweeper in his best sunday cloth and his best broom. until we arrive to the park near these horrible buildings of Esselunga and Agus start to sweep around on the platform of an octagonal pavillion. he sweeps a labyrinth into the leaves and the rainwater, a simple oneway curving way-pattern until the middle, where he checks his compass and pointing to the south. over. he leans the broom to an old tree, he says "thank you for joining", and smiles with the same question-eyes like the people we just have seen… later we eat chestnuts. for Nico it's the first time eating chestnuts. for Jesus (another visit from Reijks, Amsterdam - Sevilla..) it's the first time that he likes them. if brooms could eat.
