eVa and omi and Teresa and Soto and Jose and Topi and Bego and Alvaro and Alicia are dancing, Javi and Luis are showing up..later we go out a bit..some to the bars, some to the beach…sunrise in the NAVE..Janet Jackson sings "tonights the night"..she's right!

next day..the 2nd - Teresa and Topi leave to Sevilla.. on their way down they stop in Extremadura to meet Tomas Ruiz Rivas, the curator who wants us for Vera… escucha..
llegamos a Pasarón de la Vera, en la región conocida como Vera, en el norte de Extremadura, de noche, lloviendo y con mucha niebla. y para empeorar las cosas, un pequeño susto: Teresa sufre un ataque de ¿alergia?
y se le inflan los mofletes como a un Hamster. visitamos urgencias y a la mañana siguiente todo parece controlado, excepto la niebla, que continua...

by the way >Teresa and Topi are having a nice room with a nice view down in Sevilla..listen..: nuestra habitación en Sevilla, balconcito a la alameda y abajo el cine de verano, ahora vacío. continuación de una vueltecita, España en pocos días: Navia (L.A.), Vera, Sevilla, Benidorm, Barcelona...luego continuamos pa Italia. en Sevilla tenemos días ajetreados, mudanzas, me sacan una muela (ay!)...mis papis...Teresa conoce a los Sres. Cañavate, sólo puedo decir una cosa: gracias papis por vuestro cariño..

Gigimon Scaria sends an e-mail..from Banglore..he showed some c a l c projects to this indian net-art-group he mentioned already during unidee2002..and tells us that him and them are interested to invite us for a certain coop..they have a flat there, small studio..a residency in Banglore..maybe 2004 for some months? yes, we are very curious..lets keep in touch Gigi, grazie..

Juice invites L°°ks and omi for lunch..he wants to talk about the possibility to colaborate in an architeture competition for Europan, this europewide and brussel-initiated thing… this year there is something to do for/in Luarca ..we call miss President and Topi to ask them if they are interested..they are.. omi asks also eVa..she'd like to be part too..maybe..guay.. okay Juice, lets try it! but when and where? early spring in babyship, Juice and L°°ks will come for a week or so..we'll see..

T'n T are passing by Benidorm..listen..:
en carretera, camino de Peñiscola donde dormiremos esta noche, decidimos parar en Benidorm donde ni Teresa ni yo hemos estado nunca. paisaje increible, torres fantasma (estamos en invierno). más increible que la cantidad de edificios, la densidad y la altura es la cantidad de gruas... la cantidad de edificios que habrá. mezcla de atracción y repulsión. ahora entiendo porque MRVDR eligieron esta ciudad para su trabajo "Costa Ibérica"...en cualquier caso el libro me parece una porquería..

omi leaves now too..with Soto..it's the 8th..to Bilbao.. hey hola Ismael, hola Lou, hey Ainara! nice to hug you all again, how's art'n life going in Guggitown? everytime more the same or more different?
early next moring > Barcelona by bus, meeting Teresa and Topi..in the bus omi reads the book that Stefan and Dr.Nops sent him for x-mas: das buch der von Neil Young getoeteten..its like looking into a milky mirror..it's a good book! but where is the CD to listen to what he talks about?

last night T'n T made a stop in Peñiscola, where Teresas mom has a flat..escucha..:se mezcla la hora (es ya de madrugada) con la estación del año (pleno invierno) para crear una auténtica ciudad fantasma. parece que somos los dueños de la ciudad. hace frío, mas de lo que parece y estamos cansados. la mañana nos sorprenderá con una ¿bella? vista...no se, una montaña artificial, pero a caso no todas lo son? vamos a por omi...

we meet at 14:30 in north Barcelona.. what a pitty that eVa isn't here..ciao belli…and we continue right away.. we'd like to arrive in Torino this night! the car is packed to the top..Topi brought his books from Sevilla..

look..we're passing Perpignan..the city where our friend Nico Dockx teaches in the art-academy..he just sent us an e-mail, asking if we'd like to do a workshop there.. yes we'd like to, first of all we'd like to see Nico again! lets find a date when we're well installed in Torino and can overview our next steps..hear you amigo…

Torino - late night, its cold here..Mala and Iris are sleeping.. wait..no, Mala isn't here, she might be with this misterious Luigi..so her sms-culture also brought some nice fruits? ..the next days we organize the house, mainly the little studio in the entrance..we have to set up our laptops and the net as soon as possible..but also the kitchen, the rooms..

the 11th and 12th of 01 Teresa and omi are going to San Sicario, where Michelangelo and Maria have a house and where all the citta-staff meets to talk about the most important things we need to re-formulate and to change in cittadellarte and unidee.. what a place! we didn't feel this kind of cold and didn't see this kind of white for many years..white, dry and thin air..
