(homeology) but now we are leaving to switzerland for three days. we have to meet Lisi Hämmerle in her gallery to prepare the orange-prints for Katrin, and we want to see Teresas family. Martin and Bettina and Malina from www.novaron.ch invite us for dinner… what a dinner! we see a new project novaron did, like it a lot. L°°ks calls us: they decided where to build the new bridge which will free Navia from the heavy traffic: 56Kb between the paper-factory and us! we remember when we first heard of the bridge-project, 11 years ago, and Rudolf Sagmeister from the KUB, Bregenz saying that we can open a gas station then. with restaurant…now gonna build this bridge. we're going to have a 1000 meter long, up to 38 meter high bridge in our windows in four years! will this be bad? interesting? we don't know. but now T'n o are already back in Biella where they have some meetings concerning UNIDEE 2002 and the programm for this summer. we'll be present and active again in July and Oktober. in april we'll be part of the jury again who chooses the people and projects for UNIDEE…we'd like to stay all three unidee-months, but we have to focus more on L.A. again and bring some ideas further in august, september. next day we make a big round trip all around the Piemonte with Mala and Michelangelo…we see some terrible places and spaces, renovated to the death and some nice ones…we need to have ideas what we gonna do with these spaces during BIG…maybe we'll show videoworks from people we have downtown?…lets review all projects and think/talk about. next day, the last day we're in cittadellarte, we get a visit from Marion Damiani, a friend/curator from Bolzano and the artis Hans Winkler from Berlin/New York. Hans tells us that he just was bathing Lady Liberty in NYC in a red glow of light. now they are organizing an art-part during a traditional viallage fair in Brixen…and ask if we want to be part of it…we'd like to, but no time at all. we don't want to become workingmashineartists, but import stronger rhythm and time-consistence of L.A. to our projects. that's also why we have to go back home now…see you all in march. take care! specially you Cristiana with your sweet big belly….;)) 31st of Jannuary - we are leaving in direction home. first we stay two days again in Menton…chinese restaurant (Armona, Paolo and Ginevra are coming tomorrow!) and sleep in these fine beds in Hotel Aiglon. theres a village party in Menton now: la Fete du Citron. they have built all kind of kitschy orange/lemon sculptures in the city-park and ask for 20 Euros to enter! we prefer to see only parts from outside. and spend the money for the chinese food and the Thai beer. 37Kb walking. reading. sleeping. letting the last 10 days drop… tomorrow we'll drive to Biarritz and stay another night. this route is already something like a working/living route for us. some restaurants we consider as offices, some hotels as studios. some gasstations as bars… and again we wonder about that gigantic empty factory near Santader city. so much not-used space! all artists from the cantabrian coast could life'n work here. but there are also gigantic speculations going on we suppose. maybe you know more about it? 32Kb
