around the 15th we arrive in L.A...Miss PI and Topo from Andalucia, Evita and omito from Galicia..and Märle and Curt arrived in the meantime! hola guapos, que bien veros aqui! and Cristina, Francesco and Mathilde from Piemonte! they are living in Pacos and Fuens house. and Arno and Gabi from Innsbruck (you remember? Arno’s the 1 who runs the architecture forum there...) You told him that he should come here..a ver a ver.. uuuu...sssssogood to be back in mothership and mothertown! august! pitty that You and Lou and also Malex and Salome couldn’t come, but they are sharing feelings somewhere in Calabria and Switzaland.. we here in L.A. have to start to work again..but as always 50:50..half studio, half beach..half active exhale, half passive inhale.. 31Kb why does only august swing so perfectly between playing and working? we should find ways to extend summer culture to all seasons.. this image above made our friend Txema..in the early evening.. the Pasodoble at the beach of Navia..we’re all in there drinking a beer now.. Scott Snibbe mails again..and sends images of his gallery in San Francisco..remember, he wants to show communimage there..okay, ultimate proposal: we’d like to do a print..no computers, just a view onto the polymoment..but the space is very small and Scott wants to show also 3 or 4 other works.. we would scale the “image” down to 40%.. what you think Scott? 32Kb meeting Alvaro again..long time! he has been travelling with Alicia and the kids..and he’ll travel again when we will celebrate the 5th L.A.villageparty in two weeks! first time without him..its almost as if the orange tree would not be part..Juice (Jesus from LAstudio..) found an old display case for L.A. finally we can easily communicate to all people of L.A. whats going on around the park..and the village.. 37Kb first display will be the poster for this years fiesta! Topo offers to do it..great! Soto will do the big entrance banner again and L°°ks is already organizing a lot.. 38Kb in the meantime Ruben arrived in L.A.! immediately he joins Evas and Topos work..working on those architecture projects for/in Sevilla..Teresa and omi are deciding and drawing proposals for Antwerp..how to present the work office..how to present the religion office..who to present the communication office..we are strange curators, aren’t we? 28Kb this year only Miss Pi and omi will go from shop to shop in Navia..to ask for money..so we’ll be able again to offer everything for its cost price..we’re a bit late, all the others from all the other fiestas from all around came already.. but first we want to go to la noche de Porcia! the big concert night in the forests near Tapias beaches..it’s the first time that Eva, omi, Topo, Teresa and Ruben go there..its absolutely amazingbeautifulcrazyunique..L°°ks went every year and he told us every year..everybody’s there..ey folks, lets doodl! 41Kb 21Kb 30Kb Cristiana, Francesco and Matilde have to leave some days before the fiesta of L.A. starts..que pena..not even Porcia they can enjoy with us.. Cristiana was quite bemused by this reality here..we still don’t understand if it was the absolute lack of design down here which made her look a bit lost..until now only people from Zürich had this kind of culture shock..anyway..the fiesta would have shown Cristiana that this its just very different, and no images from the familiar world helps to understand this one..only life does.. look, like these people bellow looking all together at some images in the new display case of L.A..we did them yesterday.. what this has to do with Cri’s culture shock? good question! 47Kb yesterday was the footballgame! solteres contra casados.. you know, the married ones against the not yet or the divorced.. this is an old tradition..doesn’t really matter..there are some who are more married without a golden ring than others who have already two..anyway..next year we also want to propose a ladysoccer game or even a mixed match..although Juice wants do change from soccer to bungee jumping..when the bridge is already finished then..just a joke* of course but L.A. is was often the place where jokes came true (*Etymology: Latin jocus; perhaps akin to Old High German gehan to say, Sanskrit yAcati he asks) and today >> 2nd of September 2003 - 5th villageparty of L.A.! Miss Pi and omi collected more money then ever..la fiesta is already known as something particular..compared to so many others on this coast the L.A.party is just more festive..off the big beaten commercial tracks (bigger, louder..) and back to the party roots (non profit, good-all-kind-of-music-for-all-kind- of-people, and all exept intolerance tolerated).. also Arno and Gabi had to leave today..they didn’t even pass by Casqueiro so busy was their sightseeing-agenda.. but amazing how sometimes things meet without causal connexion: Arno tells us that he worked intensively on the theme of the Bridge..in the context of the architecture forum.. he invited architects to investigate the “negative space” under a bridge (“the roofed space”..)..he tells us tons of interesting stories and finally we ask him if he wants to give us also a suitcase for Colombia..?..”maybe” he says..”maybe, i have to see if i find time to pack this bag..” 41Kb Ana sent this bridge-image the other day..she’s back in Berlin.. studing construction engeneering now..she really does it! also him – Arno - had this kind off shock..but more than the “cultural palette” (“i want to go out of my house and find everything”) he missed this kind of “intelectual landscape” (“i need certain people to talk to”)...well..same as above..i mean.. how could you talk to them not knowing spanish? can you read eyes and gestures so well? do all “intelligent” people speak english? or german? or where is the center? Beuys knew what he did when he was “looking for the most stupid”.. well anyway..anywhere..today the center is in L.A.! 65Kb this was the best L.A.village party ever..next year we want to bring two life gigs..one celtic again..and one hip hop maybe.. who is doing celtic hip hop?? where is the asturian Bubba??
