[E] = exhibition, [L] = lecture, [P] = press article / publication
13.07.2003 Arrival in Ljubljana, meeting Jana.
14.07.2003 Walking the city of Ljubljana I notice all these modulare units with their rounded edges. They seem to be a linking element in the urban space. I decided only to take pictures of the the city where there is one of these modules.
15.07.2003 Remembering that there is a fastfood K67 unit behind the central station in Dresden / East Germay I think about making a series of K67-photos in different countries.
24.07.2003 In Maribor (SLO) we find quite a lot of new copies dressed in "West" design. But there are also original K67s to find.
01.08.2003 Realizing that K67 was a successful east europaen product I send emails to friends which are living in the former east block countries. I ask them to look for K67 in their cities.
06.08.2003 I send an email to the Ljubljana University where designer Sasa Maechtig is professor now. I hope to contact Mr. Maechtig in order to get more information about his design.
08.08.2003 Tahl Kaminer told me that he saw a K-67 in this "mutations" book although it looks more like made of concrete ("Mutations", p. 344-348, "Use Network" Pristina, Stefano Boeri, www.useproject.net).
12.08.2003 Jana tells me the name of a Swedish artist called Magnus Bartas, who also investigated on the K67 units. Searching the Internet I found information about his project "satellites". He took also photographs from different K67 on different places in six countries, mostly Ex-Yugoslavia. He sees the "Satellites", in retrospective, as omens of political and economical changes. Cutting out the units and presenting them in front of a black neutral background he brings them to a more abstract level. Taking away any urban context they appear like objects from outer space, like "satellites". - For a moment I thought "my" project is already done by somebody else. But in contradistinction to the Bartas-Project I want to show these kiosk in their urban surrounding, want to prove that the same system is valuable in different places, want to show the eastern European places through these K67 units. My goal is it to make this project really a "movement" using the simultaneous technology of the internet. I will try to make people enthusiastic about the K67 like inhabitant of their environment. Creating consciousness that this K67 tells a lot about common history and identity.
14.08.2003 Start of the making of the K67 website.
15.08.2003 Doing research on the COMECON like east european economical system.
17.08.2003 Gero Heimann writes from Bejing. He hasn´t seen K67s in China until now. But he send a really nice photo of a typical Chinese kiosk.
19.08.2003 A friend from Dresden tells us that quite some K-67-booths in Germany have to suffer from vandalism.
27.08.2003 Sasa Maechtig answers my email and sends me some nice photos of the K67. The K67 unit has appearently such a big success that has even reached countries like New Zealand and Japan. A slovenian artist called Marjetica Potrc will use K67 units for their exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art of Ljubljana.
27.08.2003 Sophia tells me about two exihibitions in East Germany, one about eastern fastfood stands in (Domäne Dahlem / Berlin, „Imbissbuden - Essen ohne Grenzen“) , the other about GDR busstops (Verkehrsmuseum Dresden "Magic Bus")
