"A Piece For You"

Sponsoring, right now in Chiapas

The project happens in various places and versions in Chiapas right now. If you are interested to sponsor the work in Chiapas, please click here!

San Cristobal de las Casas

All the roads of Chiapas seem to cross through San Cristobal de las Casas. The paved ones, the gravel, the dirt tracks, the paths of thoughts, history, life, …. , rarely I was in a place where so many contradicting dimensions are parallel present. The group decided not to make a party scene, just a couple of weeks later I started to understand … .

Kickstarter cancelled

Dear Friends and Collaborators,

 thank you so much for your support, but I have to cancel the Kickstarter-campaign.

It is unrealistic to reach the total sum.The major reson is, that I m not able to spend every day a couple of hours updating, searching more donators, making press releases and on top of that, to entertain the needs of kickstarter and web system itself.

 Momentarily it is impossible to coordinate the needs of a campaign with the needs of the project in one person.

 I will think about something new and possibly let know everybody.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you everybody and greetings from the road somewhere in Mexico,

Thomas

Back in the Saddle Part 1

Wounds are healing, bikes are rolling again

Some things can be done while you are healing:

visiting the grave of Jimi Hendrix, cooking a little bit, then later repairing the bike, going 4 times in a row to have the computer repaired, get on facebook, collecting garbage from a road, struggling with insurances after the accident and worrying about the future. Schoolbags full with school supplies for the kids are filled from the 50/50 donations and Tom the priest in Snohomish is blessing my motorcycle. Leaving Don and Joni is sad and the fear to overcome after the accident is higher as expected, each second …

The basic concept of presents is extended with another artistic component:

Single routes and stations of the project, transferred into an Artwork, are for sale now.

The first part of each artwork indicates the place and time of the Route and Station. 

After these places are passed through, the owner receives the second part of that artwork, which brings the owner in contact with the realities on-site.

Inspired by the encounters and occurrences the artist meets there, a unique work in will be developed in each section. The owner might receive a letter, an image, a phone call, a drawing, a poem, or a series of photos by the artist and/or his new friends he meets on the road.

Click here for the list of available routes and stations and samples!

The project needs reorganization and new funds. Therefor Thomas is in Germany and reorganizes the further steps of it in South-America and elsewhere.

Meanwhile the idea and practice of the project is continued and further developed with presents, often in form of assistance and helping others in dayly life matters, as well as little performances and dance. Art is Life and Life is Art.

 You will hear soon about the current development and results.

The huge amount of film and photo material will be worked through, as well the texts about the artistic and theoretical results.

 Thank you all for your attention, the support and the opportunity to work this project,

Thomas

Bangladesch

11.12.2013

Today just a few dancers come to the studio, because the political situation is most unstable in Bangladesh. People need hours to get from one place to another, many dont go out of the house. Who knows how the situtation will be in the evening, when they have to get home again.

One of the opposition politicians and war-criminal was sentenced to death and only on a last minute interferance of his lawyers he didn get hang at 00.01 this night, as it was announced.

Of cause, it gave a good reason for the opposition to freak out again. fire here and there, at least one person shot, still Many say all is steared and a powergame, but I would prefer if the ones in power, or who want to be in power, do it amongst each other, and dont let the population kill each other.

So, our work is a statement as well, not to get irritated by incompetent politics and do our  work, making art.
