slowly the fisherman projects comes to an end. i made today the last brochure of a series of 3, which shows how the fisherman was made fro mthe beginning to the end. later htis year we intend tomake a stainless steel nameplate with the names of all those who were involed in the project. unfortunetely it is diffuclt to get all the names.
it was originally my idea to gecollect all the names of all thoise who were involed, students for example but also the drivers, the assistents and all others who made the project possible. i did not succeed: i have lot of names but not all: more then 600 people were involved in theroject. more then 350.000 saw the fisherman during the three day presentation at the world port festival.
at the same time the work on the tulips proceeeds fast. there is a lot of informtion about tulips on the internet, about the many kinds, the history, the way they came to europe and all other inns and outs. tulips could be between 80 cm and 120 cm and that is suitable for the project. children from primary schools will design them and students froom profssional schools will make them: the mroe the better.
hopefully the project keeps proceeding very well, so that next year tulips might be made in schools outside of rotterdam, even outside of the netherlands. it will take some time to get so far that the poject gets a european character iwth contribution from all over europe, but the start has been easy and there is a lot of interest. when everything keeps proceeding very well, like it does now, in two years the project could be a part of the program of the rotterdam youth capital 2009.
and at the same time the work on the big trip goes on and on the bathroom. there has not been much time ot work on the bathroom. my body suffers from too much time at the computer and not enough movement and action like with the bathroom building. the wole weekend was spent making the new brochure. still a few copies to print and the first series are done.
