Gipsies, Chinks And Faggots - We Hate

Gipsies, Chinks and Faggots

20 September 2006, Cervera de los Montes

Orlando asked me to do immigration related work for Muestra de Arte and now I’m working with hate list drawings. I just think whom my brother-in-law hates. He’s a normal rural conservative Spaniard and he detests Gipsies, Chinks, Faggots, Niggers, Sandniggers, Reds, Greens, Russians, Belarusians, Transvestites, Pacifists, Atheists, Wetbacks… everybody who's not Spanish heterosexual catholic.

I landed first time in Spain in 1998, before the massive immigration, what they call now an avalanche. That time I was treated as a wealthy tourist from the North. Now they treat me as an illegal immigrant from the East. Before I was Dutch, British or Swedish. Now I'm Russian, Ukranian or Romanian. Now blondes are ncluded in the hate list, too.





Goooool - Champions

GOOOOOL

17 September 2006, Cervera de los Montes

Fernando Morientes is from Sonseca, a village in our province. He is my favorite football player. I can’t understand why Real Madrid sold him. He formed a great attack squad with Raúl. Now Raúl is supposed to open spaces for Ronaldo or van Nistelrooy and he is a shadow of what he used to be.

This season Morientes plays for Valencia and he scores every Sunday like a real star, tonight against Getafe.





Hot Hot Dogs And Big Big Macs - Working Time Required To Buy A Big Mac

HOT HOT DOGS AND BIG BIG MACS

15 September 2006, Cervera de los Montes

Bert phoned. It seems that for the first time my drawings are selling like fresh bread or hot hot dogs. They have even sold a conceptual drawing Working Time in Minutes Required to Buy a Big Mac. But I've learnt not to open a Moët & Chandon before I've got the cash.



Children And Shop Keepers - Isidro Blasco: O's Room I

CHILDREN AND SHOP KEEPERS

14 September 2006, Madrid

I drove with my wife and daughter this afternoon to Madrid for Isidro Blasco's opening at Galería Fúcares. The gallerist told to my wife that he doesn't like kids in his gallery. I think my wife called him a shop keeper.

Anyways, Isidro's show was pretty, as always.





Dogs Are Everywhere - Snoopy

Dogs are everywhere

12 September 2006, Cervera de los Montes

I never really liked dogs. My parents have a cockerspaniel and I worked with him in one installation. Now I have a dog house sculpture in my exhibition.

I came back home from Belgium yesterday. At Brussels airport I bought Fisher-Price Lil' Snoopy toy for my daughter. The package says Pull me along - I'll turn my head & wiggle my ears! I'll shake tail & bark! I wanna be your dog, sings Iggy Pop. For my wife I bought Godiva chocolate.

It's awesome to be home. I'm not an adventurer. I like being home.
