L°°ks back in L.A., since 2 months living with Märle and Curt.. they bought a lawnmower ! Tarzan is a lawnmower in the end. in two hours they can have all Casqueiro shaved..they say.. London ! Maria ! Tom ! Aaanjuschka ! and Simon, Ola, Kajsa, Lyn & Lyn, Consol, Joe, Key, Janine, Bernie, Paolo (ARTLABs assistent, studying here !), Gavin, Miss Rogoff..Goldsmiths > the department for historical and cultural studies invited c a l c omi..entering, brickbuilding, symetric, very huffy concierge..in the entrance posters for an anti-war-against-iraq-demonstration > today..now ! it stoped raining, lets have a guiness before the talk.. good guiness > c a l c, why it started, where it went, how it goes, what we'll do next. good talk ! this is an open round with an open question. what art are you (doing) ? later in the bar, crowded with guinessing artstudents..lets talk about you and me, lets talk about art baby, lets talk about all the good things and the bad things that could be..good to be here, welcome at home. Edingbourgh..long trainride..a lot of ties..rules and recommendations..now get up and wash your hands says a sign over the mirror in the toilet..a Daily Sun is laying around..the ex-butler of lady Di saw terrible things going on in the palace, Charles knows much more as he should and if he would talk about it the last he could become is king..this must be the only son in the world who waits wishfully until his mam dies..but right now he would be happier if the butler would have been gone forever.. God save the butler! looks a lot like Asturias here ..green juicehills, factories, stormy sky and sun..but light cliffs, not dark..Steve at the station ! zack and 2 hours later something similar like in London, little c a l c art(hi)story..but smaller, more quiete, no whats, buts and hows in the end. thanks for comming! 57Kb Aya-a.i.r. came too! and Chris Byrne ! remember him ? he's the one who invited us years ago to join little colaborative online-projects..now he's the director of media scot..but in a rush..see you another time..guinessing at a pub, later to a indian vegetarian restaurant.. some yous, some mes.. windy here, reminds of Santiago de Compostela, all the stone, the moss..but Bonfire night tonight ! in memoriam Guy Fawkes, the angry parlamentbomber from 1605 (failed).. amazing how acts like Fawkes' can get a metaphorical tradition.. a traditional ritual..incredible light the next morning, silverblue day..the willows down at the harbour shimmer like the surface of a nervous lake..bye Edi, we'll meet again.. thanks Steve and Karen for hosting the calci.. Steve Duval has the same Ikea bed-sofa as Tom Dale! back to London for 2 days...saying ciao and visiting again Tate Modern..why ? because of the bookshop..trying to find something on architecture and nomadism...but just evergreens and bestsellers here..like in the shows too, of course, what you expected ? we've seen better things from Herzog & de Meuron..the light here > you either need sunglasses or a torch. but the floor is special.. Beuys has a lot of it..today with discolights, really, the bulbs go crazy while we see " blitzschlag auf hirsch ", the basaltstones, the fine drawings of women and animals..bulb fiction ! twink-twink, we're sure that some think thats part of the work. " it is. " Beuys would maybe say.. anyway > the best art we've seen was the London Eye. not because they fixed 32 kind of sleepinghouses on an amazing wheel, but because its whole story, its fantastic engeneering, its superb estetics and its surprise for everybody, while for instance Anish Kapoor in the Tate surprises just the classical Disney-contemplation-clientele.. okay, there's a huge aaaahh when you see it first, but after checking that its a big thing, nothing else, it gets boring, no ? or the Chapman brothers > white cube (we don't add the URL, you'd get a flash-headache..), they present well done pseudo african tribal sculptures with this ironical/critical touch...because some of the wooden sculptures contain Mc Donalds elements..the M..a tribal wooden Big Mac.. good black british voodoo humor.. and art for collectors and to tranquilize its own consciousness? shady relation between efford and output. why not plug in this "critic" into real life in a direct way ? because than its not art anymore, but social working, rendering of services? up to you what you want to change in your life.. Tom Dale is good cook ! a good artist and a long range termdetecter..brings a catalogue from Newcastle (they left for the weekend..) from this danish guy, norwegian ? fck, forgot the name again..interesting artist!

Teresa is on the road again..omi lands while she takes off ..towards Barcelona..with Laia..to the sea..the light..the deep-breath-no-thing-to-do-days ! omi is taking it easy in Torino, L°°ks easy..but less in L.A. - the lawnowwwwwer !..Judith's busy in the MAZE..MAZE invites c a l c to talk about an idea they had - Riccardo, Luca, Judith..a good idea ! we thought about it a lot too ! but its triplepublic and therefore under cover until the concept is through the pre-concept meeting.. in Jan.2003..viva coop ! artissimo..torinos artfair..rainingrainingdays..omi goes to meet Lorenzo, to visit MAZE's stand and : Charlotte Artlab is in town ! and Paolito..Artlab brews beer now, artbeer, artlabeer..for women ! it makes you one if you're a man.. thanks for the lunchparty Lorenzo !
