..and el puente..el puente joder! the theme of our workshop in Colombia..November, you remember? tranqui Juan, Cristina, omi, tranqui Evita, tutti calci y los niños en Medellin con Natalia..vamos hacer una buena cosa!

when Eva meets omi and Juan in cittadellarte she proposes that each one comes with his own bridge-suitecase to Medellin.. full of working material..the problem is that we have one week after our arrival the opening..we like to understand this day as the day on which we bridge our projects to the public..and then go on the second workshop week with an open door..

we see that we’ll have like 4 bridges which are all the “same” in the end, but which start from different shores: Eva and the physical bridge, the real bridge, architecture..she calls it the “extension of the banks” (-la extencion de las orillas), omi and the bridge of comunication - he wants to introduce geografia affettiva and invite to take some decisions together, Juan and Cristina and the bridge of daily social life - they want to bring the experience of a fiesta they organized in a neighbourhood in Biella to Medellin and see what this means in the colombian context..and Natalia and her students, which are bridging since months in Medellin already!

we still don’t know if we should let everything open until we meet, just open our suitcases and share its contents and see around which aspect the theme mainly bridges, or if we should outline a clear programe for our two common weeks..we’ll see..you’ll see..

..we almost forgot to tell you..when Eva, You and omi went to Zürich some months ago they visited also Johannes Gees, our friend and partner in various projects..Johannes told us then that he was doing a workshop in Graz where he also met Rafael Lozano Hemmer..and that they were driving around in the city with a huge projector to do a kind of cinema in which not the movie, but the projector moved. look, they also projected some stills from communimage ! onto a big house and under a highway bridge..

but back to the now – 18th of July – long day in cittadellarte, but the day gets younger when he ends..we’re going to see Massive Attack in Torino this night! almost all residents and Miss Pi and omi..the visuals are louder than the music, really, sometimes we don’t hear anything because the eyes occupy all the perception scope..we want to know who did this! Pamela, miss fund raising of cittadellarte makes it possible.. her experience and charme..
we meet Chris Bird from the UVA. – United Visual Artists from London..the man who did the visuals for this Massive Attack... tour. what a nice guy! we’re talking almost an hour..all our stupid questions get an answer..and we invite each other to our motherships! see ya bulbman!

ui, we almost forgot > there are this updates to do.. for novaron..our busyness archifriends from switzaland!

hmm, strange, still no feedback from Tal or Eytan from Jerusalam and geografiaffettiva..hope they just have too much on their plates..

Dagmar Reichert, our friend and curator sends a surprise. Edith Krebs, the woman who joined the little workshop we did some weeks ago during “critic is not enough”, wrote an article for the WOZ..sorry but we only have this mammouth jpg..in deutsch..
