1st of June - bloody city! welcome to Perpignan..first night at a thai restaurant: man attack each other with a knive and bottles.. blood, shoutings..we escape..where are we? 2nd hola Catherine, hola Michel! (two professors who together with Nico do a lets-open-the-questions-good job in the a-school...) hola estudiantes, somos Teresa and omi...we start with talking about c a l c, how it came, where we are and where we'd like to go to.. in the evening we go for dinner with Nico, Catherine and Michel.. on the way to the restaurant a man lays in liters of blood, people all around..some are loughing, others can't let their eyes from the blood..what happend here?..why is Perpignan so extremely violent? a lot of man wear knives..eyes in the street are hasty and nervous.. we start..after we have shown some of our projects..with introducing geografia affettiva..but before we say anything we ask them all to write down a definition > what does geografia affettiva mean to you? 30Kb it goes well! Julien, Etienne, Delphine, Jacques, Sophie, Landry, Sylvain, Fred, Marilyn, Manu, Nico, Catherine, Michel and Jean Nicola like the project! everyday we are more concentrated and sharing more and more one imagination..we're doing drawings.. they help us to imagine the process of informing geografia affettiva maps step by step.. 30Kb we had this idea already a while ago > that we try to do more of these kind of workshops in which we'd like to bring the project further and offer in the same time to the institutions, organisations, etc. who invited us to become an active partner..which means that they get their own g.a. platform for their needs and contexts.. they can decide about the interface design..the criterion how to become a member, etc..so the partners would buy the package for little money, but because there are many it can be financed.. Catherine, Michel and Nico like this idea..they will present the project (there will also be an exibition of all 8 workshops of this year soon..) to the responsables from the townhall and try to find the money there.. 29Kb You is working on making contacts to various other institutions and offers g.a.workshops..we'd like to do 4 or 5 this year! You is in contact with the uni of Bolzano and a foundation in Torino right now.. more and more we think that also in Colombia in November g.a. should play an important role.. isn't it a puente par excellence?! we do a paper on the 5th and last day..a big one..they can use this poster when they present all the workshops in some weeks: espace d'art contemporain la halle au poisson ....so this paper will serve to show the people what it is all about...we also will send all the digi-images we took..and the new paper we are going to write when we'll be back in babyship..till the end it got clear that all the definitions they gave were right..all that can find place and expression in geografia affettiva.. 35Kb wow, now eva and omi will go much more relaxed to Jerusalem.. well, at least what concerns to the workshop we wanna give.. we'll tell them about our experience in Perpignan..how it went there and how we go on now.. ciao tutti belli frutti..we'll send you the images and new texts soon..thanks for all, it was a pleasure to work and learn with you! hope to see you soon informing your personal maps;-) Catherine and Michel, who have to go to Paris come with us until Marseille..we have a nice talk about everything we touched the last days..the project, our work in UNIDEE and the curating we're doing for Antwerp..we invite them to come to see the show..they think it could be a perfect start for the new semester if they come with all students..welcome! but see you before in Torino, your bed's always ready! back in babyship..Miss Pi, You and omi are working on two things now: the big show in Antwerpen and geografia affettiva.. preparing the material for the workshop-show in Perpignan and the workshop in Jerusalem... in cittadellarte everything is going crazy right now..in few days the Venice biennial opens..Michelangelo Golden Lion will present in the utopian-pavillon from H.U.Obrist the love difference project... so imagine how our meeting with Michelangelo went? we had 5 minutes to talk about Antwerpen..then we went eating and talked about everything else...but its okay, there is big trust and there are good ideas...see you in some weeks..all the best for Venice!
