Morrienz mitnand, just wanted to tell about a small exhibition, openning on December the 9th (2oo7) at six o'clock. Nothing big really, about five or six etchings and two or three sculptures (mechanical), I plan. The location is: Untere Königstraße 37, 96047 Bamberg, Germany. The exhibition is open untill the 23rd of December. Title is 'zustände - radierungen und mechanische skulpturen', ['zustand' means sth. like actual state, situation, condition]. Well, later more...

Been rocking fau huhn on the Adreatic a little, - really worth wile, that. Had a great time, mostly at last. Been camping with snakes (in one guide the author wrote that he had been warned bout them but never once came across one in all his maybe thirty hikes, - well we met six of them), hanging out in lonely bays and on islands, having a desperate, last, small summer extension. Back in the German autumn now, and will top even that next week by coming to Helsinki, but don't want to think about that too much yet. And there is also sad news to pronounce: Emma and Berts puppies didn't make it. Sadly enough they died in Emmas womb. Emma has been in surgery but all is fine with her again, it seems.

Papabert

2007-09-09T02:12:00.000+03:00

Little Bertti really managed to become a dad, being a kid still himself... Well, lets see how we will get the alimonies together. Emma is already in her fifth week and the ultrasonic testing wasn't too easy cause she woundn'd hold stil, but the vet said two puppies at least, probably even six of them. Anyone up for a little baby dog drop me a line... by the way, thats the old couple (Bert being just about one year and old Emanzenemma, a rather gereatric lady of already nine... [auf alten Pferden lernt man das Reiten, wurde mir mal gesagt])

completely forgot how this works...

... die dicksten Ärpfel ...

... Ursula probably does, or should, ...

So it is that long ago already. Well, never mind. Useless to say that we did not ave access to the world's very wide web for a month, due to some, well, probably stupidity. Still that does not excuse the long absence, neither does the summer, really. Ursula probably does, or should, but in the end it might well be just my laziness. What do I babble, let's focus on the more important things in life than that sort of apologetic shit. For example hippie style gardening. We have a nice phrase about the most stupidest farmers harvesting the biggest potatoes. So I guess I'm safe, concerning my so called intellect at least. I know that that's not a potato but a courgette, a green squash, a zucchini, - it's just a figure of speech, smartass. Proofed that point as well then. Not much of a good writer today though, - me thinks - , what just leaves me to inform, and warmly invite you all to some sort of small home made short film festival in two weeks time in our ever so lovely Franconian countryside lodgings, the ever so ever idyllic Rattelshof. And if anyone has made, or knows of, or does some good film or clip or whatnot, please let us know and show as well.

Verbleiben wir mal so, allerbesten Dank und auf Bald,

- trappse

first working accident

2007-02-14T18:16:00.000+02:00

Guess it is time to start sussing out some health care insurance. Most of the lethal accidents happen at home...
and a little reminder on that flat/room warming party, - this Friday, Rattelshof. Nürnberg should be the closest big airport, will pick anyone of you willing to come up there. Lots of love as usual. Oh, and also a big hello from Bert, - look hew he's grown!

happy new year

Well, finally, - months later (though it almost feels like years already) a sign of life from deep down lovely rural Saksassa. As usual a lot of shit has happened, (almost unnecessary to say), that prevented any earlier posts. Part of it comes from that Hamm-residency story that ended slightly different and earlier than anticipated. Had to do with the big artist Otmar Alt, (fitfully named by someone out of his surrounding as an aging diva), the founder of that institution that granted me the scholarship, whose word is supposed to be law. It all started with him refusing to allow Bert (the name "Berry" was by now superseded by the slightly more euphonic "Bert") to be around on the premises, with variously changing the argumentations for it, though he is commonly known as a huge animal friend. Well, it was somehow just some attempt of proving power, showing who's the boss and where the hammer hangs. I've learned more than I wanted about the structures in this Otmar-Alt-Foundation in the ten days I've spent there. There is a couple of people involved in that kindergarten there, only talking about others behind everybodys' backs, plenty of lies and intrigues, - but in a scale fit for a soap opera. No murder, as far as I know, but apart from that all that is necessary. Some bad private shit, that would be rather unfair to talk about on a blog. But after all not a really nice place to be, especially without my lovely little brown hairy backup. They were rather surprised that I did not shut up, bow for the money, do what they wanted and instead declined their benefits. I admittedly managed to annoy some of them a bit and I guess I really burned the bridges by now. And so it came that I live now with nine other people, three dogs, a cat, a horse and a donkey in a lovely little farm close to the beautiful city of Bamberg (the centre of which is unesco world heritage, so quite picturesque), in an area with the highest concentration of breweries in the world, in a lovely countryside valley with a little river bordering our garden. All love and beauty and they lived happily ever after..., or how those bloody fairytales usually end. No, well, no money now, sort of, just the usual artist stereotype, but apart from that really great. And I've got plenty of space and time for numerous visitors, who should come in flocks now after this magnificent advertisement text... (breweries and so, you know). We'll have a big several days long summer party here as well, but I'll tell you again when that is a bit closer, and with this word I will end this post, in the hope of managing to write a bit more frequent and in the even bigger hope of reading some news from that lazy catalan-dutch-finish-pormesta-valua-however melting pot... (lots of love and don't lick any lamp posts at this time of the year). Above by the way a picture of my new, freshly refurbished and decorated room, as mentioned before, waiting for guests. The farm, der Rattelshof, has a dubious website as well that I try to find out and also post later. But enough now,

Morriens mitnand.

little history of the boot

2006-05-18T21:12:00.000+03:00

Now it finally takes shape and starts to resemble a boat. There's a few pictures starting from cutting the tree for the keel, which happened last summer up north, at the polar circle, together with Roel. Today I attached the last plank. There's still plenty of work, - ribs and rub rails, knees, seat risers and seats and stuff, oiling and painting and so on. But get ready anyway and patch up your water wings, - big boat launching party and maiden voyage celebration coming up any fine summer day soon... ah, and if anyone happens to have a little outboard motor lying around...

It doesn't always look that untidy. And next month we'll have a party there again (that means we are gonna clean it up soon). Risto's desk is free now, and if it is needed I could clear mine (the one with the girl) as well

Not that anyone gets the wrong idea of how a 'sweet' beach here currently looks like.
Here you look towards it from about a few hundret metres, from the saeside, so to speak. Or from a lost penguin's perspective, if you want to say so, or from a fuckin perch's, if he'd get its head out. taken yesterday, 20th of march. icefishing season is not over yet...
