The sixth day,

I'm talking a lot of people. And my room has always someone.

But I could feel lonely with this situation. This is funny.

Bod gave me dinner and ginger-ale. He buy a ginger-ale everyday for me. I love it. However if I drink every day it going to be not favorite anymore...

I missed someone, I was watching the road.

The fifth day,

French artists and their friends went to home. But artists will be back on next day or Saturday.

I made Sushi especially for Caroline and Walter with Sumire.

Sumire helped me for make Sushi. However she also had to help me. Because Walter helped her moving house by his car. So this Sushi party were kind of appreciation. But at beginning, Sumire said she can't help me. So I was really surprised. Because alone Sushi making a bit hard. And this is also she have to do thing. So I complained her. Then she got angry. So I surprised again...

I was already really in shock by these days. So I was too sad when she was angry at me.

The reason why she was angry is about the film that French artists was watching in my room(museum) till 5am by my projector. I said OK to French artists that they could use my projector. So I and Sumire was sleeping in same room. It was a bit longer film what I didn't imagine. But I didn't mind. But Sumire was really amazed at me. Because I didn't care about Sumire.

So I said to her. I can't know what you felt at that moment. Because the day was big fighting day. And I thought she should say by her self what she thought about it. But she helped me a lot. make and bring dinner for me... talk a lot with me......

She was really busy by her assignments staff. However she came to the museum for help me make Sushi. We were a bit strange relationship when making Sushi because the fighting. But we felt we stepped next a place for friend relationship.

It was hard, but Sumire is my warm friend for forever.

The situation for now will change in future of course. So now is precious time with Sumire. She goes back to Japan in almost one year...

The forth day evening, Bob invited me to visit his house for eat dinner.

He made super nice pasta with one hand. The taste wasn't made by Dutch ;P sorry for Dutch people.

After diner, I and Bob jointed French artists and their friends. We went to a bar.

After the bar, we went to other bar till 4 am. But Bob was tired, so he went to my room(the museum) early.

I studied a little French language. Because I was five french people. And I got know Guillaume is OTAKU. He knew japanese animation staff more than me.

The third day,

French artist's art work got stolen. They were really in shocked.

They even wanted to go home...

Also their friend Joaquin(he is also artist of this exhibition) said

'I will take out my work from this exhibition too for solidarity, if French people go home'

I understood them feeling. I used to go to Sarajevo for art projects. We got stolen in every year. Camera, PC, mob., wallet, passport, cards, bag and idea notebook for making art work...

Everyone could lose motivation.

But we shouldn't do that. If we stop making art works, it is too weak.

So also I couldn't understand them who wanted leave this exhibition. It is no sense of responsibility for visitors of this exhibition. Or you could make new art work for this moment and feeling. This is real artist, isn't it?

French artists didn't leave this exhibition. But Joaquin went away with out say 'Good bye' or 'Thank you' to anybody. It is 無礼(burei: rude).

I say

No manner person is no person.

He even didn't take his art works. Who take care of it? What is art work for him?

I'm too shocked.....

Later on, we found him again actually on news paper of Rotterdam Metro. This article is for the person who come from out side of Holland. So he got interview on the street... But I couldn't find he said about this exhibition...

More later on, I got an e-mail from Joaquin. The e-mail was so nice. Then I could understand about him a bit. So I'd like to see him again in other situation. I'm sure it was bad that this exhibition situation. But actually I met a lot of nice people.

The third day,

It was so much visitor came because 'Motel Mozaique Festival'.

Also my friend who is dancer visited me again with dancer's friend.

And of course they danced again.

My room was full of Japanese people.

And everybody is an artist. Pianist, Designer, dancer, Musician, Composer and what is me...

One guy who I didn't know said to me 'I'll bring dinner for you on next Wednesday!'.

I had some this kind of people. My art work is My-self. I inhabit in the museum. So it is my room. My friend could visit me and have a dinner. I say this is my performance.

However this art work(action) is kind of new for people and me as well.

So sometimes I feel is it OK or not for my art work. It is not good feeling.

But new staff is always strange. So this feeling is good for developing for my self.

You see?

However my friend who is dancer visit my room. And she danced for my random performance. It is very nice happening!

Also my warm friend Sumire visited me at evening with dinner that she made for me. I was really happy and relax with her. Walter and Caroline gave us nice living room of them. So I could talk with her in nice place. After talk I couldn't stop start crying. But only 5 sec. Then I got full power again. She is my real warm frined.

The second day of this exhibition was so confusion.

Last night was the opening party, so of course there is big mess from that.
So, of course we have to clean up by ourself. I think it is so normal situation for young no famous artists.

Bob, Benjamin, Guillaume and me start cleaning up around 12 o'clock. Then Benjamin, Guillaume and Joaquin went out for drink coffee with friends who is coming from Belgium. And they didn't come back more than one hour...

I knew Bob had big bomb in his hart for this exhibition. Because Giorgios. He says "I'm a director and organizer of this exhibition." But his work style wasn't like that. Actually Bob worked like that. But Giorgios's attitude wasn't good for Bob. I knew Giorgios want to control everything. Because I sent a few e-mail to him long time ago about this exhibition. It was normal advice about our exhibition. Like "Let's make a mailing list for us. Because artists come from other country. So we need communication more before this Exhibition." But he didn't like this idea. He sent some e-mails to me "You shouldn't worry about that. It's will be OK". But I was still worrying. Because I even didn't know which day and time have our Exhibition. So I sent some e-mails back to Giorgios again. But he up set by my e-mail. So he sent me an e-mail with a text which was all capital letter.

Then I thought he is crazy. And I decided I don't say any advice for him anymore if I notice something.

The noon of the second day's Exhibition, Bob called Giorgios. And he was waking up. But he was cleaning up in his room.........

Oh my.....

So Bob's bomb exploded..... at the people who just come back from drinking coffee. Because they didn't say any sorry or thanks.... And Bob went away. I tried to explain to the people that Bob isn't bad. Maybe he was too much exploding to them. But most baddest guy is Giorgios. He didn't put on Bob's name on flyer and poster.... But Bob is most hard worker for this Exhibition. That's really strange. So the people got know the reason why Bob is angry.

So the people was angry at Giorgios when he come to the Exhibition place. It was around 3 o'clock. Too late. But Giorgios attitude wasn't good. "Why should I come here? Who made the plan for cleaning." Oh how old are you.

Very bad timing, Bob came back here when I was having a quarrel with Giorgios. So Bob's bomb exploded again. It was so big exploding.... He hit a metal garbage box many times. And he was going to Giorgios. But nobady try to stop him. So I stop him. I was only girl. Maybe that's why I could stop him... But I was a little amazed at other guys.....

Anyway Bob's arm broken... So he can't work 7 weeks from this day. But he have to work for a job and school assignments...

I felt Giorgios starts changing him self. But still I can't forgive him. Because he will get his master by organizing this exhibition. Thst's not good. So I write down here what was truth for me.

Bob worked really hard for this exhibition. He is very passion person. That's why sometimes this passion works too much for not good way for others. I think he didn't notice yet about it. Someday I'll tell him. But not now. It is too much for him of now. So I can understand really a little bit about Giorgios explanation. But only a little.

Anyway it was nice study for me :P

About opening day,

I was having so heavy bags from my house(south of Rotterdam) to a tram stop. It was impossible to walk to there. But I had to go to the museum for opening perception. A guy helped me to bring bags who was watching me on the street. very kind.

We finished building up staff for the exhibition before open.

And we had nice opening with drink, music, dance and talk.

Many people are spend pretty long time in my room(installation art work of mine). They were looks like not in a public museum. Like in a private space.

After opening party, the room and the museum space was big mess. Oh I have to wake up tomorrow very early... But yes, it is only for tomorrow morning. So I slept with Bob and Sumire in my room.
