I had the opportunity to work @villakivi this September. Thank you @helmikekkonen for renting your room… where happened to be a framed poster from 2016 Niki de Saint Phalle exhibition @taidehalli_helsinki… from where I initially found Niki’s artwork ”My Men” (1994), which, as known, ended up in ”My Friend Natalia”!
.

Now I’ve written those words in Norwegian by BIC Marking Ultra Fine Point Permanent Marker.
.
.
”Min venn Natalia” is translated by Tor Tveite, and the book will be published next year @forlagetoktober.

Je suis très heureux de ce bel article de Libération (25.9.), écrit par Virginie Bloch-Lainé!

”Irrévérencieux, caustique, original, gorgé de références artistiques, Mon Amie Natalia présente les pensées d’une femme d’une quarantaine d’années. Elle déborde d’une colère tellement rusée et portée par l’humour qu’elle ne tient pas de la vitupération. Ce trop-plein s’accroît au fur et à mesure des séances. […] Natalia est une femme qui pourrait être n’importe laquelle et qui les vaut toutes.”

It’s well and truly autumn, but I’m already excited about spring!

We found Suukorva a.k.a. Bouchoreille (”Ear-Mouth”) @fotografiskatallinn! Actually it’s a photo ”Play It by Ear I” (2008), originally named as ”Kõrvuti I”, by DeStudio (Herkki Erich Merila & Peeter Laurits). But for me it’s Suukorva.
