my dearest readership,
its been ages since my last blog i know, so this one will most probably get just as long and exhausting as my last one... ill be trying to cut it short, though
first of all, we had the most wonderful autumn here in austria!
we went for some walks in the wachau, a wonderful landscape alongside the river danube, and ive taken a handfull of pics, but unfortunately i havent got them on my computer yet - so yall will have to look forward to my next post!
back in vienna, it was a time of vernissages, etc., most of which i loved a book presentation of a fellow friend of mine, chrys, called "Suppe in LA" (soup in L.A.), some quite weird stuff i can totally recommend to anyone speaking german.
he also had two private views the following week, showing his work as a photography (which is awesome i think) in vienna.
ex-bf and band member of ok king, flooh, was exhibited there, too - go and have a look at their work!
and klaus pichler had a huge presentation of a book (architecture in the Verbund, biggest austrian electricity provider) he made the photography for. his work is simply stunning i think.
next, we shot a new set of our lovely hopeful Ruday, which you can look up and leave a comment on right HERE!
now thats only some silly shot by me, sitting in the way and having a ball while Matthiasdiary and Ruday had to work. anyway, the set got rejected again... ;(
the vienna tattoo convention was quite lovely, too - nothing one has to fear he has missed much if he didnt come, though. people took lots of photographs of bernies latest tat on my arm... which was a bit annoying, but still im absolutely proud of how gorgeous he made it look
besides, i made a match between armin, a good friend of mine, and a girl ive never seen before, hehe...
and still theres sooo much that happend the last weeks:
roland, my most lovely significant other, left our agency and went over to Perndl & Co, who make really cool stuff for exhibitions, etc.!
so to celebrate his leave-taking, our whole agency made a trip to steiermark (which is located in the middle of austria, and often called the "toscana of austria" - the landscape is really lovely there)!
unfortunately, i got infected with borrelliose when enjoying some walk in the countryside - so im totally on antibiotics atm
oh, and finally the Die Theater has opened again, now called Brut, and the Atzgerei did all their artwork. its simply great. so go and have a look (or maybe two) at their outstanding work!!!
i will also warmly recommend the Brut theatres program to you;
so far ive been at their opening party, featuring planningtorock, a one-girl-band that still really impressed me, though i already bought her lp months ago, and Tina C., a character created by british actor, artist and cynic Christopher Green, which was so much fun.
and finally, the last 10 days:
SeanBonner arrived in vienna, just in time for the Robxotica 07, and will stay here as the artist in residence of the month december at the monochrom bureau at MuQua Wien - and besides the fact that hes an utterly interesting person and writes for about tenthousandbillion blogs or even initiates them and does other stuff only real nerds are able to explain (like metroblogging.com, where he atm posts to the viennese group; or his private one at seanbonner.com; also, i find his twitter msgs most... ahem... lovely), he is just a doll! (if one may call a guy "a doll", that is...) - so if ever you may have the opportunity, get to know sean. i MEAN it!
plus, im just as excited to get to know Scott Blake, the bar code artist, whom he invited around and who will arrive at vienna tomorrow morning!
so, during the roboexotica, we went to a show at the Brut, it was robots playing a somewhat modernised version of shakespeares hamlet (and it was great):
though for this time, i made a mental note not to write about useless uninteresting and absolutely uninspiring (as the opposite of all the rest i use to write ) stuff from my work again, im most afraid i wont deliver my promise. sorry for that.
so, we just had that exhibition at the agency, all arty farty stuff we made up on our own, some of us well, some not knowing we definitely werent born to become artists in any way.
but anyway, the event worked out great and - most gladly - our clients didnt interpret the works for what some of them were (at least those i was involved in): subversive reactions to their own hilarious ignorance.
the most absurd thing ive ever done in my life - as long as i can recall:
but i was in the most lovely and beautiful company:
oh right, and besides a whole bunch of shootings within the last days feat. my work as a MUA, i had the pleasure to lend my legs to some tights manufacturers layout design shooting:
on the other hand, im working on a project about self-perception, the female in the age of gesamtkunstwerk-ish re-producibility.
sounds weird, especially in english - and i guess it will drive me crazy in the end (if i am not, already) -, but since i made it up, i am the only one i could possibly blame
hah, now for my most beloved theme: MUSIC!!
there was a mono show at the szene wien some days ago, supported by austrian band the scarabeus dream. unfortunately, right before we got in, the keys got locked inside my car, and so i was more than nervous anyone could break or steal it... but for someones sake, everything just went fine, and roland came with a spare key to save the day!
anyway. the show was simply AWESOME! if you havent heard about japanese most precious music export mono, please go and have a look (or an ear or whatever)!!
mono:
the scarabeus dream:
thats why i wasnt able to listen to Bre Pettis (hes blogging for the make magazine) talk about the "brain machine" at metalab, which mustve been great as well...
im looking forward to meeting bre in berlin again, where ill be going wednesday evening/arriving thu early morning.
BERLIN AGAIN! YAY!!
well stay there only for the tattoo con so im back at work on next monday again, but im glad i got some days off even though its not a lot.
last but not least: i want to recommend Amon Tobins latest album "bloodstone" to you. i know, its been a while since it got out, but i forgot to tell the world how great that album is ever since.
seriously.
go buy it.
for the rest, i hold that all EANs shall be shattered.
