imagine yourself sitting 3,5 hours at a techno party cash desk. in the first 2 hours nobody is coming because people use to join late nightlife. you feel bored and unchallenged. there is just an ‘A’ stamp and a pen. the latter isn’t interesting to you. (a pen is an everday object) so why not draw with the stamp. I did it.
on all drawings (or should I say ‘stampings’) you can see me and my flatmate, miriam hartwig, who was sitting next to me.
last year I attended at the k2007, world’s largest plastics trade fair, where basf presented the new kontstantin grcic chair. we just have seen some miniatures and the process of designing the chair. on this year’s designweek (salone internazionale del mobile 16.-21.4.2008) in milan konstantin grcic will launch myto at the triennale design museum.
my minitaure of the myto (sadly, I got it in orange)
and as we know chairs let a designer heart beat. they are the icons of design. ludwig mies van der rohe, one of the most outstanding architects, designed one of the first cantilevered chairs in 1927. once he said that it is easier to build a house than to design a good chair.

today some fine art students and me participate in a workshop from the jan van eyck academy, post-academic institute for research and production fine art, design, theory.
we were invited by reserachers from different disciplines. theo cowley, donatella bernadi, jean-baptiste maitre and société réaliste were our tutors for one day. we had to bring some of our work and install a group exhibition in one big room. the challange was to put the work in a different context, outside of our academy, in a white cube. would it have the same impact like in the own studio? can I present my work everwhere? how can I present it to make the intention clear. after evaluating all this questions (and more) we observed that working with people from diffrent disciplines broaden one’s mind. learn from and with others.

after I played four in a row with christoph seyferth I become obsessed again. for everybody who has nobody around for a battle (for example a flatmate who not even commiserate with you) send the pattern below to some friends and just play!
here it’s called connect 4. but for me it’s still four in a row. I guess there are many exressions for the game.

easter is over. today is the last day. after couple days in exorbitance with food (I come from a hungry polish family) I tried to blow-dry a chocolate bunny.
the bunny takes a bow. it’s like that he wanna show that this years easter was a pleasure to him.
some other possibilities to kill a chocolate bunny:
| youtube – ironing, infrared lamp, blow-drying |
| youtube – cooking |
if you need a shredder why not buy a nice one?
