It is now several days before I depart for Munich from Berlin. I am a nervous wreck because I have so many things weighing heavily on my mind. My papers and budget being on the top of my worry-list of day to day survival. Yo, the BF, has been very comforting and at times perhaps too comforting because he is a great way for me to procastinate and not to remain properly focussed.
I've run over to Haus am Waldsee (an exhibition space in berlin) to see one of the 3 Kuratorins of the current Walter Benjamin themed exhibition. She had been very interested in using the Bierdeckel project that had been printed for the Wolfsburg Kunstverein exhibition this past September/October/November but... her coCurators thought my work was objectionable. Its the second time that my work has been censored. Once when I used the truly racist texts of the French (now dead) writer Louis Ferdinand Céline in my work and this time when I dared to use the term 'neger' (negro/nigger). Perhaps the 2 women should have taken the time to meet me and interogate me. I had hoped to have been included in their finissage evening tomorrow, alas that will not happen. I was sent a letter by Frau B-U but had not recieved it here in Xberg. I have suggested that when I return from Munich that she and I and perhaps her colleagues meet for a studio visit. language was difficult.
The world is filled with very simple minded people at times. At times with excessive power in their hands.
I also took the time today to follow up and call 2 tax accountant consultants regarding this extremely ridiculous request by the Auslanderamt to submit a "Business-plan". No One has ever heard of a Business plan for an artist!
Wilhelm had suggested someone and so had HeikeD (Oh my god I am at an internet cafe listening to WNYC and just heard someone with MY voice! thats a first).. Back to shit...I already have a quote that the Business plan will cost me 500Euros- an outrageous amount of money for such a ridiculous task!
over roger...
