Hey dears!

Hope you're fine.

I'm not...

Me cheek is hurting.

Sitting at home.

Totally stoned.

At least I had a funny exhibition at the Kunsthalle Frauenfeld last weekend.

Hope to see or read something from you soon.

Greetings from Switzerland

Just show what you're thinking or doing at this very moment. Would be nice.

Hello!

First I didn't understand what you exactly meant with the idea of the flaneur.

But I've meat Mel on Monday and she explained me bit more about it.

Now I have to say that I like this idea. One point I like is that we would be free into create something. And that we could put all the works together like a knot garden. You know what I mean?

I'm pretty sure that everyone of us still like to do something. But yes, we need to do or show more on this blog. Above all if we want him as lay a track obviously. I find this an interesting idea, as well. What do you mean?

I send some pictures tomorrow.

It would be nice if everybody shows something, doesn't matter what it is. Junst show what you're thing or doing at this very moment. Would be nice.

Hug

Gabriella

where are you?

hello everybody.

why is it so quiet on this blog? don't people want something to happen? i mean, i can't be posting all the time... i know that people are busy, but if we want to move forward we have to write new things... if i write to much it will be to much of my opinions in this project and i would like everyone to have an equal part in this.

can we please get this blog going any time soon? ideas someone? should we develope the flanuer track or should we move towards something else? what do you think? please write.

i think it is a wonderful discovery you made jorun! the flaneur is a figure charles baudelaire invented over a hundred years ago but i think it is still of great actuality, today's flaneur ( i read that the female version is called "passante") could be the globalized, digitalized human being, strolling through the internet, moving a lot in their lives, travelling in no time through different cultures, in a world that is getting smaller and smaller. They are armed with mobile phones and digital cams.

writers who treat the theme of the flaneur:
walter benjamin, jean baudrillard, david riesman...

summing up!

I think it sounds like a good idea to start working more active instead of only writing on how to start we should may be just do it. But I must say that picking a title first worries me. I think that that could make the works to forced to one direction, and make the pieces a reaction of the title instead of the title being a reaction of the pieces. Is that what we want to do? I think maybe that a theme is a better way to start and then create the title after we have come longer in the process. But I don't know. Maybe it is interesting to go the other way around? But what will that do to the pieces?

I feel that I sound very negative all the time, I am not! I think it could be great. I am just a very slow worker and I feel that every decision should be made carefully. I hope that you understand that is why I am questioning things so much.

I also feel that we should start with something soon. What we have come up with so far is (correct me if I am wrong)

* We want it to be unclear which artist made which piece for the show.
* We want a common theme to work with.
* We want the pieces to interact with eachother is some way (it does not have to be in a direct way, but some correspondece should take place).
* We want to agree with the process and make everyones opinion as valueble.

Have I forgotten something? I just think it is time to sum up before we continue! Please will Lily and Susanne also take part in this decision making!
