back

2morrow we are leaving already..the archis back to Sevilla, Miss Pi and omi back to Biella into the UNIDEE and Antwerp tasks..before a :-(mail reaches us: Basels art jury isn’t convinced by our the icon..did we do the presentation papers to hurryhurry or have we been not enough “politic”..god knows, those people never tell you how they found the desicion..okay icon, we’ll present you in the cultural office of the city of Turin..

good that it was at least a payed contest..we’re all pretty broke..

Oviedo..4th of September..hasta pronto amores..see you soon in Antwerp..when the big cittashow opens!

this time Miss Pi and omi stop in Marseille to meet Sylvie, Yanick and the Bureau de Competences...hola amigos.. only some hours..but good ones! we let them know what geografia affetiva means and how we imagine to present the project in the Bureau..by a workshop..or two..maybe with students from the art- or/and the architecture faculty..that Eva had the idea to come with a 3D model of the interface..we leave them our g.a.papers and go before sundown.we’d like to make it to Torino before midnight..we’re looking forward to come back..

Torino! 6th of 09..ciao You!! how was the deep italian south, how was the spanish north? You and Lou want to do a Sistership in Calabria..Lou got this ruin from his parents..aiaiai..thrilling! we could directly sail over from Fuengirola after having breakfast with Topos parents ;-)

one night in the babyshipbed and the 3 of us are back in Biella.. full programme..finishing the posters..doing the graphic..the 8 images and slogans we already chose with Michelangelo before August..4000 of those posters will be spread all over the city..inviting people to be curious..

1000 little details and decisions..what will be how where in the Logo-space? which ex-residents we would like to invite, which projects..and going on shooting around with the digi-cam for the long strip we want to add beside the logospace..

and of course the work with the residents..but again..little time to really follow and help them.. next year - if we’ll go on - we will definitely only do one project in the cittadellarte context either UNIDEE or..for example curating a show..

one day after comming to Biella Nico Dockx and friends are arriving, a whole bus of them! they are on their way to Venice where they will do some performances in the Utopia Station..

finally we can meet Louwrien Wijers..que bien..you know, the Women who invented and organized Arts meets Science and Spirituality in a changing Economy.. Nico told us a lot about her..unfortunately we’re too busy with UNIDEE-Antwerp to really take time for each other, but this first touch is much more than nothing! we will see us on the opening on the 4th of october in Antwerp..

Peter the cook, the artist who works in the kitchen, is one in Nicos bus..they arrive just in the moment when there is no cook in citta..Maria and Salvatore also left and actually we wanted to go downtown to have some pizza..but then Peter discovers the deep freezers! madonna, we didn’t know what there was buried under ice! we have a great meal all together..

Ni&co are leaving, Catherine, Michel and some students from the art academy in Perpignan, where we did the first geografia affettiva workshop, are arriving..short visit, also on their way to Venice..they are invited by Nico..

Tal is also here..you remember? Tal Adler..Itemz.org..he also will go to Venice, but he got invited by Filippo from the politic office of cittadellarte..Love difference..which is also present in this utopian pavillon..

Tal tells us how we could propose geografia affettiva for the near east after it didn’t work out with the Musrara school..he tells us to get in contact with the people from the digital artlab in Tel Aviv.. thanks..we will..

no news from Scott Snibbe and communimage in San Francisco.. maybe we should forget about? hey and did you read? Taschen made a big book about Muhammed Ali G.O.A.T..Greatest Of All Times..didn’t we always say in Goat we trust?..we have to lough about how funny synchronicity can be sometimes..

its middle of September .. in M HKA the realisation of our plans start..the wire to Tom is excellent, we don’t doubt a second that this is the perfect partner..we only doubt that “perfect” means the same in Antwerp then here in cittadellarte..good that Miss Pi and You are already going up tomorrow..and will find out..omi will follow in about a week or so..only two weeks until the opening on the 4th of oct!

we have this idea to do a poster for UNIDEE 2004..you know, there is this advertising pillar in the logospace which represents the education office..and it will be full of all posters which were made so far..it would be nice to also have the poster inviting for next years UNIDEE..we do a democratic design: each resident of 2004 (apart from Kai who still didn’t return from Tokio..) chooses one digit out of u n i d e e 2 0 0 4..from each one omi takes a photography of the left eye..the chosen digit desides which slice of the eye is part of the whole 11eyes-eye..what? this:

Miss Pi and You almost didn’t arrive and send very good news already: Tom is as de Luxe as we thought! AND: they had an idea how to produce the Logo-Sofa in that very short time: M HKA will pay the production, after we’ll try to sell it and they get their expances back! now Tom de Luxe is trying to organize that..

to come to the point: it worked!

today we are writing the 14th of october already, the opening lays 10 days behind us and there is a lot to tell and show you!

but give us a break..look, here’s a little page done by the M HKA about it..after the presentation day of UNIDEE end of the month and after our workshop and workshow in Medellin we’ll be back and start where we end here. okay? or maybe we even make it before we’re leaving to Colombia.. betrue-beyou..
