I love books. I mean real books. I don't like electronic books, though I know that printed books use three times more raw materials and 78 times more water to produce.

In George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-four, Winston Smith works as a clerk in the Records Department of the Ministry of Truth, where his job is to rewrite historical documents so they match the constantly changing current party line.

Soon our libraries will be "in the cloud", where we are supposed to have our e-books always available even if our homes and libraries are  bombed or burned. The cloud or our reading devices connected to the internet are the dreams of the Ministry of Truth - all our books can be changed and censored easier than Orwell ever dared to imagine. That's why I'm buying more books than I can read before they are banned as dangerous material. If they want me not to read my books they have to enter my house and destroy or steal them.

I spent few nights going through internet dating sites looking for Syrian men. Actually I wanted to find Syrian women too but it seems that they don't announce a lot and very rarely with their photos.

Now I have 120 printed profiles of Syrian men looking for women. They are neatly placed in three transparent Muji folders and will be part of my solo show Syria Study Center at Korjaamo Galleria, Helsinki, which opens the 13th of September.

Kareem is the perfect man when you are looking for respect and love.

Zezo is very romantic.

Dentist loves science, friendship and partying.

Ghassan is friendly, honest, respectable, understanding, truthful and God fearing.

Mohammad is looking for a beautiful and intelligent girl who would help him to achieve his goal - to be a general manager of a big company and live with his loved one.

Hashem is a hot and sexy man.

Wassim is a divorced chef  who likes women, art and TV.

Nadim wants an honest and good girl, the outside looks don't matter to him.

Wasel likes sport, traveling, never drinks or smoker but finds it difficult to talk about himself.

Mohamad has been working in Dubai and thinks that now it's time to get married.

Walid wants is looking for a domina to lick her shoes

Anas tries to be a good man. He likes hunting and taekwondo. He is looking for a woman to get married.

Medos is a fashion designer who likes horseback riding, swimming and shooting

Usama is a handsome young man with white skin and a muscular body. He adores cougars.

Safwat wants to meet a Swedish woman.

Pussy Riot is sexy both in the looks and the content. Pussy Riot does what, in my opinion, the artists shoul do in the society. And Pussy Riot is a perfect weapon in the service of the CIA.

I never imagined that I would be backing Putin's cleptocratic government but at the moment it seems that Russia is the most important global defender of human rights in the world. Obviously, I'm referring to the Syrian crisis, where Russia stands with president Bashar al-Assad's government fighting against the Islamist rebellion trying to save the secular and multireligious society.

I wish all the international celebrities supporting Pussy Riot could see the big picture. The West tries to delegitimize in all possible ways the international role of Russia in the global game and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova's beauty is a perfect weapon for it. She is bigger than Lady Gaga. She is bigger than James Bond.

The Western politicians, intellectuals and rock stars are totally convinced of the superiority of their values. They enjoy of telling how badly Russia, China, Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba treat their people but nobody in these "evil" countries tell to the West how to manage their things. In my vocabulary it's called a colonialist attitude.

I love pussy too but there are much more crucial (let me use this Christian word) things going on in the world against the human rights and freedom.

It's the holiday month in Spain and we celebrate the fiesta of our village in honor of San Roque. The fiesta last a week and includes dancing, concerts, games, bull fighting and religious service.

When my kids give a few minutes of free time, I'm putting together the ideas for my show Syria Study Center at Korjaamo Gallery which opens September 13th. It's my fifth solo exhibition at Korjaamo since 2007, when we did Let's Happy Life - Sparkling Girl Brings about a Revolution, a showcase of my Japanese works done during and after my residency at Arts Initiative Tokyo. It has been a long way from Japan to Syria.

Syria Study Center will be full of information - I want it to look like a place to learn and interpret things, not like an elegant art exhibition. It will consist of Syria for Dummies and Syrian Democracy slideshows, one of them exhibited in an cardboard box construction, my Syrian drawings, the lists done by the participants of my workshop at Le Pont Organization in Aleppo and then some material that will be available on a table that has also a CD player with Syrian patriotic songs praising president Bashar al-Assad. The table was Timo's idea and it will give a real study center feeling to the installation. Timo is the artistic director of the gallery and has always played an important role in all of my shows at the venue. At the moment, we haven't yet decided what the study materials are. Maybe I go through dating sites looking for Syrian girls and boys when my family goes out to the plaza to dance. The love doesn't die even in war.

After working the week in Finland, it's nice to travel in style in the better side of the curtain sipping champagne and single malt whisky. As a business class passenger you can check-in two pieces of baggage, so it's also the only way to ship all the toys my mother sends to my son. The hardest part of the week wasn't installing the show in Pukkila but the two days I spent in Helsinki networking which means lunches, dinner and lots of drinks with colleagues, curators and collectors.

I had an important meeting at Korjaamo Galleria with Raoul and his crew. Next month, we'll do a show called Syria Study Center. I really appreciate my gallerist. I don't imagine any other commercial gallery in Helsinki programming a show about Syria at the moment. Furthermore, Raoul is a Jew which understandably can make him suspicious about the Syrian government and I have positioned myself in the side of the secular and multi-religious society and constitution of the Syrian Arab Republic. I said to Raoul that the gallerist and the artist don't have to agree about the politics. Anyways, my show will be ambiguous although as a public person I'll do all the propaganda I can to fight against the Islamist rebellion imported to Syria.
