Neighbours Wars - First Strike -

Would you want to get part?

This photo project presents different kind of people that lives alone,
preparing theirselves to an urban conflict. It will document the
changing encoded environement of their house in suitable barricades,
using all the objects they commonly used before in their daily life in
defending tools and weapons. Through the very different variety of
works these people did before, different passions and house pets if
they have, his/her personal urban armour will be unique and filled
with all the possible things they modified from pre-existing objects,
passing from the garage to the kitchen and sleeping room, diving suits
and electric kitchen mixer, knife sets around the shoulders as
buccaneers and bob-sledge and pillows as shields, in combinations of
self-made survival equipments.

The photos that You see here have been shooted at the first candidate in Vienna:
Richard, philosopher and journalist for different magazine. Right now is writing a book on testaments left by famous people.

To everybody there outside, I'm waiting for your applications!

Meis Rie Key Yües

After a long period passed from the splitting of the musical ensemble "Calendar" in June 2006 - that with nearly ten songs "plus au moin" ready and another dozen of something I could call "demos", have never ever seen the stairs of a stage... This following the long queue of projects begun and not continued for let's call the causes "bad weather conditions", here I write about a new open musical project on air.
Meis Rie Key Yües, so is the name of it - in the beginning a little bit difficult to pronounce I admit - is the development of an idea that grew up during the different occasions that traced the last year of research: the "ensemble" as pattern to follow in condition of co-working in artistical projects.
Many times I tried to understand the meaning of the word "collectiv" in the artistical scene without finding, far from getting the sense, even the basics where to apply an ideological sense of it in a period where naturally, accepting it or not, the hyper self-valued sense of the own ideas can't have a continuous dialogue even in an environment structurated from longer time by natural conditions as in family, friendship or the occasion to find a narration of the life we are about to live with a precious person.
In Jazz, as in other musical language, there is a word that gives the basics for the dialogue: Ensemble. It's not important to start from a same idea in creating, we are made of too many different inputs, tangled patterns and micromicromicrocheapchips, most of the time in a perpetual motion masked under a big ego ignorant even of where We are going after the first step out from the bed... So, why the Hell masking with hypochrisy what is not reliable to our nature?
No to Collectivs. Collectiv is the wonderfull final masked aim created by the head for not accepting the difference and the fact that we are multiculturally different.
So, this project, Meis Rie Key Yües is an - ensemble - based on the idea that people come to take part with theyr way of being, bringing, proposing, imposing, suggesting, decrypting the structure of the music following theyr green thumb for making grow the layers of the project itself.

To all my aficionados bloggers: Soon I will update the blog to new life. The period I'm having here in Vienna has been and is so full of intimacy with The Person I'm living with and The people I'm sharing my days here, that it have been a little bit problematic to keep a regular posting of artworks for a long good month or maybe more. I've been also travelling in the last two weeks to Luxembourg at the Colophon 2007 appointment - The symposium of the independent magazines - and to Amiens, near by Paris, at the ESAD, helping an artist to build up an installation there and translating in my funny english from french language all his needs for arriving at the opening day in time.
Here I present a little sequence of Portfolio that I built up for Colophon 2007 - I don't have all the images right here but maybe this can give you an idea - inside every one of them, the publisher (after a feeling of bitter weirdness for wat he had in his hands) was finding inside my cd containing a pdf, a detailed cv and a high quality sample of one of my works developed for a japanese industry I worked for three years ago. Establishing a contact is also astonishing and making a sense of two or more people that are meeting for the first time.
Two weeks ago died a very important person that I never met personally and that I could just appreciate in his books. I want to do just this little note in a post without any meaning overall related to this person because it's like this he surely wanted to be reminded in a note, as important as other relatively important things. Thank you Mr Baudrillard.

Soon a waterfall of drawings.
