I have made a brief visit to the litho workshop in Tidaholm. I delivered films for three new lithos and controlled and signed the edition of " Papunya ". There are still two unfinished editions from this summer; "Nuakata" and "Berlin", they have been held up due to various technical problems.
Nuakata was printed, but has to be re-printed. The huge press was not perfectly balanced. A mechanic has been working on the press and I expect I will soon see more of my work. When I go online on the train why can't Deutsche Bahn copy the system in use in Sweden, which offers w-lan connections on trains? I see that Kim Jong-Il is dead! Kim Jong-Un, the mysterious son no one had heard of until fairly recently, is the new dictator of North-Korea.
WHAT will happen now??? This is going to be very interesting, possibly very scary as well. The worst case scenario is so bad it's hard even to think about it.
The best case It certainly is no kindergarten to be a world leader in these times. Will I ever do? Both are called " Zentrum der Welt " Centre of the Earth with the street address of each sculpture's location added to the name.
Because of the presence of these coordinates you can't move the piece without it losing its conceptual meaning. The opposite of music. One of us suggested we should go see a showcase concert with some young bands. The concert was organized by a youth magazine: "Ultra". Why not? So we went to a theatre on Birger Jarlsgatan, right in the centre of town. Six musicians, still teenagers, nervous โ yet they seemed to own the future.
