The day starts with a train ride. I am on the move. Mountains are silent and still. They control it all. All before me and all that will come after me.
I exit the train.
"Entschuldigen, sprechen Sie Englisch oder Serbisch?"
"Serbian? Off course !"
Alte Saline in Hallein now in front of me. I run into a group of students from the Hohensalzburg Fortress.
(KP2: See, there is somebody that you know).
Now, let's begin the talk about cross roads. Let's talk about control and resistance, about professionalism and amateurs. Milena Dragicevic and Charlotte Cullinan have the floor of the old salt factory. It is the second lunch talk. Silence. Questions. Silence. When is the time to start allowing yourself the dignity to say "I can't", to say " I won't " and not feel like you have your tail between your legs?
Resist. Your work should be the resistance. As an artist be all and be nothing. Be humble but also lay down the law. Maybe sometimes not ruin things with the truth. Make sure all that you do is natural to you. How do you gain control in your life and in your work? How much should we all create? Where does the pressure to create come from? Should we stop? There is so much stuff around us already. Where do we go with it all?
(KP2:Please do continue to breathe).
Walk again. Visit the old house where a butcher lived .Rumor has it he was imprisoned at one point in his life. Why? What is the history of the house, of the family that lived there? Thomas Kilpper with his student will research. They will implement their spirit, their energies and group dynamics into the space with heavy wall paper, patterned with boats, palm trees and big blue flowers. Up in the attic old sausages witness it all. They are still hanging there.
Think about how is the action of destruction sometimes an action of creation, "I can't "as a moment where you allow yourself to move back and make something completely new. Is this process something natural or is it a struggle? How open are you to change? The house has no say in it but I got the impression that she agrees with what students and their teacher plan to do. About what comes after they leave, I am not so sure. "It is a dream of modern architects", Thomas Kilpper says.
I am on the train again.
"Entschuldigen, sprechen Sie Englisch oder Serbisch?"
"Serbian? Off course! "
Go inside a mountain.Go to the top of the mountain and walk on the grass inside a concrete building of the Museum der Moderne Monchberg where Hubert Scheibl will guide us through the rooms and introduce us to his paintings.
Maybe not question everything too much now. If the paintings are moments of creation or destruction, possibly at this time this question is not relevant. Maybe let go and allow them to be just large scale marks in time that you can't repeat.
Is tutti frutti different colours inside one box?
Name the blog and just post. It is getting late.
