18th of June 2002, T'n o returned yesterday from Torino, from the big social game..and all what it changed, finished and started.. we feel empty and strange..back home..l°°ks gives us a great welcome. the valley of Casqueiro never was so green, so jungled..it rained for weeks, now the sun is helping the wild seeds to explote. the dogs got fater too.

in 8 days T'n o have to leave again - to Biella where UNIDEE2002 starts on the first of July and to Torino, where we felt in love. with a city and much more… about that later…little time left for so many decisions and steps..lets go..:

lets twirl time until the 17th of March - the day we arrived in Torino. o, no, wait..one day before..shortly before Lyon, traffic fluid, weather looks like rain, music: track02, jazzmatazz, volume III..and what overtakes us? a car, closely accompanied by three jockeys and their propeling firehorses!

l°°ks supposes a publicity for a betting-office, omi thinks it's a travelling salesman for jockey underwaer.

we are looking forward to the room Michelangelo and Maria prepared for us in their flat downtown..for us and other artists who can use the spaces while their stay in the city..we arrive tired and know what is expecting us: mountains of work we never did, but also a nice, quite room where we always can retreat from the fatest peaks of stress. we open the door.. smells like teen spirit..we open the door to "our" room: at least 4 artists are sleeping here!
who? why? we get angry, we call the organisation and swear.. ..one night stay in Hotel Alpi Resort - solace: zai and Miriam from etoy are here too…we go for dinner..talk about the project they want to do for BIG .. day care..we're looking forward to it.. also Tammo, one of the transnational republic headquaters, is already here..but none of them sleeps in our room..

and hey Judith what Youdid?! so good to see you again! what do you think, can we master this task and make a good biennial, you know..a different one? YESSS! she says, in Judith we trust! next day - swearing helps, they organised a little appartment for us, right next to Teatro Carignano . what was shit is gold today - even better like that..and a view:

there is even a TV, but only no-senders..owned by the owner of the government. a lot to send in italy.. next day, we visit the office, where we'll spend the next 30 days and nights.. this space will be crowded in two weeks, 100s of artists will ask for our laptops, for our lines, our money and lifes..

Judith…are u sure we'll…YESSS! and we all of the sudden see: all we have is now and tomorrow is just a too early yesterday..lets plug and start:

Giacinto Di Pietrantonio, our friend and BIG co-curator (a real one!) drinks orange juice with us. the bar is called DUAL, the sound's even worse, but Giacintos idea good: c a l c should do a "virtual project" for/from/in the Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo he's running..yes, we'd like to know Bergamo, your house for the arts, our possibilities, we'll visit you in July when we're living in Biella…grazie..

BIG! our office already starts to boil a bit..we were promised that we are going to have an artists-only-computer-room with 5 online-equipments, etc.."domani"..we expect everything and nothing, now's still now and so..we go..on

Dominic "the Dom" Hislop and Miklós Erhardt! they squated our intimate downtown space! the re:routers!! we meet on the first big press conference..local press, national..well..

the Dom besteads us and helps us with correcting our textitos for www.bigguest.net. thank u Dom!

by chance we receive an e-mail from Las Agencias. they probably forgot us deleting from this mailinglist..well, we don't want to unfold this problem here, but this strange case of this strange e-mail brought that the BIG direction lost all trust and quit the relation. mierda! we (big staff!) just were successful in finding Las Agencias a new bus...rTMark was planning to do their Karaoke-project in there..well..shit stinks..we under- stand "the noses of the direction" as much as we regret that L.A's stays out of the game.

a new space for rTMark? maybe in amantes, where we can't realize the slice252 project anyway..phone and mailcalls.. yes, okay..
