SOLO EXHIBITION

-EN only-
At the moment, my “heart-leaf” (rotfl, German joke) mr.Natey resides in “The Green Mountain State” called Vermont. Vermont is a small state between New York (south) and New Hampshire (north). Maine is next to and north-east of New Hampshire.
Vermont’s largest city is named after the famous sox “Burlington”.
Just kidding. Burlington actually is “the smallest U.S. city that is the largest city in its state”, because it only has a population of about 39000. The town is, amongst others, famous for the ice-cream Ben & Jerry’s (that you might have seen in Germany as well) who started their business at a gas station in Burlington.

Anyway, my lovely NateMan lives in a smaller town up north-east, called Johnson. Here’s a photo how it looks there during this time of the year:

In the middle of their 5th season, the Indian Summer. Beautiful, isn’t it?

mr.Natey is one of the few artists, not coming from one of the top universities in the States (Harvard, Stanford, Yale, etc.), who still got a full scholarship at the art residency Vermont Studio Center, which is “the largest international artists’ and writers’ Residency Program in the United States. Each year the Studio Center hosts 600 outstanding emerging and mid-career painters, sculptors, new genre artists, printmakers, photographers, poets, and writers (50 per month) from across the country and around the world.”
WoooooW! My hon is one of them. Proud Cola.

If you’re not from the art-scene, you may wonder what an (art) residency is (good) for. The Vermont Studio Center explains it very well in their mission statement.
Their intention is “To support dedicated artists, by offering distraction-free working time and space, the companionship of creative peers, and the inspiration of distinguished mentors in a non-competitive, international community that honors the making of art as a communication of spirit through form.”

Here is the view out of the artist’s studio window:

Actually, I wanted to show you one of mr.Natey’s recent (online) projects::::

Speed Help needed

Ich hatte ja gerade erwähnt, dass ich meine Seite versucht habe zu entschlacken, um sie gerade für die Besucher mit Modem schneller laden zu lassen.
Hat denn keiner eine Verbesserung beim Laden meines Blogs bemerkt????
Hallo?
Oder lest ihr mich alle nur via feed?

Ich fragte euch (TechnikPros) auch, ob es noch einen besseren und lade-technisch schlankeren Bildbetracher gibt, als das zap_imgpop plugin, das ich schon sehr lange nutze.
Soll ich jetzt deuten, dass keine Antwort bedeutet, ich habe schon das beste Bildbetrachter plugin gefunden und im Einsatz?

-EN-
Lately I mentioned that I worked on my blog’s programming to slim my site, especially for my visitors with modem. Since I have a fast internet connection I cannot compare and see, if the speed really improved since I worked on it.
Nobody felt any difference with my blog’s speed???? H A N N A H ???
Hello?
Or do you all read me via feed only?

I also asked you (or better the techPro’s) if there is a better and faster (loading) picture viewer than my zap_imgpop plugin, which I use quite a long time so far.
Does no comments mean, I already have the best picture viewer plugin there is?

Just a little note: there are new smileys in the comment area and I arranged them according to emotion.

[In the email was no space, but if I write without space here, my design will break.]

The email message above made me really laugh (what a cool ryhme, missy!), because of the broken space bar.
Sounds like a message from another planet. Telegram.style.he.he.

[In der Email gab es keine Leerzeichen oder Absätze, aber ich kann das hier nicht anders darstellen, ohne dass mir das Design verhunzt wird.]

Diese Nachricht hat mich eben echt zum Lachen gebracht, weil sie so klingt, als käme sie von einem anderen Planeten, so.telegramm.stil.artig.

Scheisse sagt man nicht, man macht es

Ich bin gar nicht alleine mit meinen “Scheissgedanken” momentan,
seht her
Alles Schei**e
Befindlichkeitsscheisse
Anderer Leute Scheisse

Gleich dreimal heute durfte ich das Fäkalwort in den Überschriften der Damenblogs meinem kleinen reader Fenster lesen. Was mir auffällt: nur in den weiblichen Blogköpfen scheint man solche (natürlichen) Dinge einfach beim Namen zu nennen. *g*
Hat man euch denn nicht gelehrt, dass man Scheisse nicht sagt, sondern es macht? Was für ein blöder “Lehrspruch” eigentlich…wenn man dann das Buch “Das Parfüm” gelesen hat, dann wundert man sich, dass die Menschen damals, als es noch keine WCs gab und man einfach auf die Straße geschi**sen hat, keinen Hehl drum gemacht hat. Die Menschheit ist zwar zivilisierter geworden, aber irgendwie auch verklemmter. Leute können von ihrem Wochenende erzählen, dass sie sich (aufgrund von übermäßigem Alkoholkonsum) die Seele aus dem Leib gekotzt haben (mit allen Details, durch die Nase, etc.), aber wenn man von Stuhlproben spricht, dann verschlägt es einigen die Sprache.
Was raus muss, muss raus!

Es gibt sogar schon ein Buch unter dem Titel meiner Überschrift:link zu amazon

I am not alone with my “poop-thoughts” at the moment,
look here
Proof 1 (German)
Proof 2 (German)
Proof 3 (German)

I was very amazed, when I found a blog called “heissescheisse”, which is written in English. Heisse Scheisse is German and means hot shit. The author of that blog is an American living in Germany. It got my attention and do you know what? I found “my” topic about the different toilet styles (wash down and washout pans) that I wrote about a few days ago mentioned in that blog. Crazy!!

So, you see, it is the women who don’t have a problem to just name things that are just natural.
Have you read the book “Perfume-The story of a murderer”? Back in that time when there weren’t toilets, it was just normal to lift the skirt and shit on the roads. Nobody made a big deal about it. Nowadays, mankind is more civilized, but somehow uptight (‘verklemmt’?) as well.
People can tell me their puke stories from the weekend (because of too much alcohol of course), and they tell you every detail about it (through the nose, etc.), but if you talk about how to do stool samples with wash down wc’s, some people just gaze at you in total astonishment.
Everything that needs to go, must go!
