I'll be probably the whole Summer 2009 in Tusheti. As our Reunion 2008 because of the August war did not take place, I suggest we go instead this year to the Mountains, to relax, to get power, to discuss, eat, drink, to paint, to write, to make movies. On the right side is a poll you can vote, if you are interested, chat with me or send me an Email to kaukasus+tusheti@gmail.com Best regards, Hans

Where is the horse gone? Where the rider?
Where the giver of treasure?
Where are the seats at the feast?
Where are the revels in the hall?
Alas for the bright cup!
Alas for the mailed warrior!
Alas for the splendour of the prince!
How that time has passed away,
dark under the cover of night,
as if it had never been.

Fishermen's Wharf, San Francisco - 1941 movie
Fishermen's Wharf, San Francisco - 1941 movie, originally uploaded by bobster1985.
Just months before San Francisco became a hub of wartime activity, this amateur color film was made by John Summers. Did you know that Joe DiMaggio had a large restaurant on the wharf? That summer, Joltin' Joe was setting his record-breaking 56-game hitting streak for the Yankees. This was when the area was more of genuine working fishermen's wharf than a tourist attraction.

Friends of the Rouge - Stonefly Hunt -
No they weren't ice fishing.
Earlier today volunteers from around the Detroit area faired the cold and icy Rouge river to be involved in the Benthic Macroinvertebrate Sampling Program. This program is designed to gather data about the overall quality of the ecosystem in the Rouge. Today they acquired this data by counting the amount of Stoneflies living underneath the frozen layer of ice that makes the river's surface this time of year.
Stoneflies are an important indicator of the quality of the water in the river as well as the overall health of the surrouding ecosystem. Since Stoneflies are a favorite food of trout, a healthy population of Stoneflies means that the trout will have plenty to eat. If the trout are fat and happy, the ecosystem can sustain larger animals.
Stoneflies live in leaf litter, or dead organic matter, that falls into the river from the surrounding trees. To find them, the team of biology research volunteers, broke through the ice using hatchets. By extracting and examining the leaf litter for Stoneflies, the group hopes to extract some telling conclusions about the condition of the Rouge.
Stoneflies hatch in the winter and get their name because you will often find them walking on stones. They grow up to be a half inch to an inch and a half long.

EXHIBITION: Jörg Herold - Der Dokumentararchäologe im Land der beschleunigten Folklore (EIGEN+ART, Berlin)
January 24 2009 - March 21 2009
TODAY: opening January 24 2009
5 - 9pm
I made two art-documentary travels through the South Caucasus with the german artist Jörg Herold in the last times. Now you can visiting a summary of this work in Berlin. Something could you see in the last year in Leipzig and Schwerin. It will be following a catalog or better an art documentary of this art travels. (Ralph Hälbig)
In his function as a "documentation - archaeologist" as Jörg Herold calls himself, he follows the mechanism of remembrance, securing, saving, investigation and research in his work progress. As a result of traveling into real and imagined memories emerge actions, films, installations, and drawings, which are holding the focus on cultural commemoration and historical cross-references.
On the basis of 30 motives, ethnographical as well as ethnological templates and historical documents like travel reports, Jörg Herold is questioning through a virtual created “ land of accelerated folklore" the strange and unknown with a critical view of today. The installations, which arise out of that background, combine the media painting, sculpture and movie. Thereby the Petersburger Style of hanging the canvas in the gallery will be broken open by stalactites and a couple mountain ranges. The archaic appearing massif is presented on wooden brackets and shows amongst others the Ararat, Holy Mountain of the Armenians the disembarkment point of Noah's Ark.
In the front part of the exhibition, where his work “Vitrinensturz" is presented, Jörg Herold comments on the skull aesthetic of Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, a Professor in Göttingen/ Germany from the 19th century.
Based on his favorite skull of a Georgian woman, Blumenbach assigned to the central-Europeans a preferred, high-class position.
In the centre of the first room the sculpture "Stalins Rache" is suspended from the ceiling that inherits the name of one of the most notorious dictators in our history. The pasty work on canvas "Fadenhalter" hangs at the wall behind the sculpture and refers to the scripts of "Heimweh" by Jung Stilling. This publication came along with numerous German emigrants in the 18th century and describes the second future of Christi in Solyma in the Caucasus. In this comparison Jörg Herold refers to different forms of identity in a local and global context, aspect of violence and its consequence on nature and landscapes.
The centric mission in the work of a documentary archaeologist is to depict the possibilities of the memory for the future and to accentuate the conflict between aesthetic and ethic in presentation.
The film "Steinmeiers Erben" that is installed in the second room of the exhibition thematizes the recent journeys of Walter Steinmeier, the foreign minister of Germany, that give him an official view of the situation in European peripheral regions. Therefore the film builds a bridge to the installation "Des Nachbars Zaun" that is placed at the left wall at the first room and which represents the boundary shift into the east.
Jörg Herold aspires as a witness to history to dilute conserved time for a short moment by using media installations, painting, sculpture and film. Travelogues cut in fine filaments float out of the fence, besides a whole that dismantles the texture of the wall and even the sequence of the works on canvas is fractured by the roughness of the piled up mountains. Therefore the recorded gets in motion and the installation becomes a liquid concentrate of memories for the documentary archaeologist on his journey to the country of speeded folklore.
