takin'(took) a quick trip

couple of fotos from last week...couple of fotos from last weekend...the ceiling already looks different...expanding. lets see what kind of hully-gully happens today.
looking forward to the sun...and the progress!!!
greetings!


whats that Cher song? it gets sung like someone with broken off ends of plastic spoons in the mouth...the notes and words have to find a way through the curved plastic spoon ends, causing a new and almost experimental sound. what are the words, do you believe in life after love?...just checked. believe. it is the earworm in my head this morning. i have to change this.



this photo is from friday after work. TeER and i jumped a plane to stanstead--->northampton(england). we had the lucky chance to celebrate the birthday of mrs. pilgrimm. it was a blast!






and





thank you northampton!!!!

Title?

funky thing is that there is a lot still to do. we are not halfway done. am i panic-ing.
i am also not panic-ing.





time for another fuggin espresso.

Its hard not to slide towards a Fischer von Ehrlach handling of the space. it is most definately not a baroque place, but it does yearn for history. its place, placement and partner buildings in this city give a kind of brand-spanking-new-ness feeling, and just that fact gives it a sense of history, or relationship to something in the past. there are four corners to the ceiling. it is not symmetrical. when finished, it will be a mixture of meeting place and bicycle/motorcycle parking place, place to keep the seats dry...meeting places are still important as is keeping our asses dry. there is not yet an ass umbrella...plastic underwear...out of the question, and there really are very few things worse than having a wet ass.

going to northampton england for a weekend birthday party of a good friend. there is a round church from around 1100 something...inspired by a crusaders visit to jerusalem's Holy Sepulchre church, a round church with 18 columns and...look it up on wiki yourself...

in any case, i want to go inside it. i have just been outside it until now...missing the opening times, or the church watcher guy, who actually is a nice guy...he just works according to the official opening hours. problem in northampton is that the nichts can be long and wots occuring.

again, its time to blow this clambake. another coffee would rule, but time is ticking.

week 2

...looking forward to some mid 70's and sun. still, it will be chilly in the shade. Last week we set the stage with an approximately 10m2 image of a Wüsten Einkaufzentrum.



pretty much a clean kitschy jam. I personally need to see some scum-brushstrokes up there...i think i need a telescope-paint roller handle and do a little painting from a distance.



distance to the image surface...seeing the painted image while painting it...
'schau,...Bilder...' -english('look...pictures...')
...spass mit neuer Maltechnik...i gotta do something like screwing up something up there...like a paint spill...like a tipped over paint can...foot prints and to on...anyhow, a fuck-up would do the usual contrast to the clean and brav...brav is a german word which does not mean brave. there was a sentence once which a friend said to me once about being brav...there is a time to be brav and there is a time
to not be brav. the person did not speak this sentence.
brav=goodie-two-shoes

anyways...i think im gonna put another frickin' coffee on. its about time.
nothin' like a good, ahh... coffee in the mornin'. jeez, its already 8.30.
time to pick it up a little bit.

these pictures were on my camera this morning when i woke up.
echt weird...

day 6

...this goes pretty much chronologically backwards yesterday...with perhaps the last 4 shot from a couple of days ago. whatev...
sunny day today. gonna pump for a good 4 - 5, then there's gonna be a cold pack of cans at the gallery for a secret non-party. stop by if you bla bla bla....














technically day 6 is today. more like day 5.5, but lets round it up. tough job. tough on the spine and the legs...for me. last two days being woken up by baseball sized knots in my back-of-the-upper-leg muscles...right-the day before, left-this morning. Piers says its from the legs constantly adjusting and unconsciously calculating the counterbalance to the swaying movement of the extended platform lift. thats life and the cramps are a bummer and the worst of alarm clocks, I just have to live with it...or eat more bananas and drink more coke and stay up all night guzzling beers from cans and smoke 12 packs of cigarettes daily and not bathe...maybe then the cramps will stop.
fuggin' iscias party/spass-o-rama.

no pain, no gain. bullshit, i know, but somehow the body does understand this to be the way things work. the head however knows better...actually, the head doesn't want to know what the body knows, and vise versa...(topic for some other blogger).
stopped working at 4pm today in order to enjoy a sunny friday late afternoon, take that break and go to the driving range and smash some looping, 120 meter, straight as an arrow 6 iron shots...i sliced a few, i hooked a few, hit a few line drives, the standard stuff...
head down. eye on the ball.

music from the surf...

Day 0

We got to the construction site and had a look. This was on the evening of april 30th.
Like the reactive expression used by chicken-fried steak clean plate club members bla bla bla...or no, it was more of a moment of respect and awe. Eyes bright, looking up half to the under-surface, half to the long ago faded sunset...mouth half open like a goon, 'wow!'...kind of slowly said.

...a lot to do, a lot of coffee to drink. The weather in Salzburg is changing often.
It will be an MF'r.




...and a JC'r...
or rather a BF'r...
