It is a very interesting discussion on those potential proposals for different nights. I have to think about what Marcel said, some ideas are nice ideas but maybe they don’t really produce much once you try them out. So I question: when is an idea more exciting than its actualization, when is the idea itself enough (we could also think of an idea as a piece), when should you actually try it out in order to be maybe surprised by the result. We can never know (fortunately). One thing I can say: indifference is not what I am looking for. “What does our doing do” is in the end what we take responsibility for. I wonder if by now we also just simply have an obsession with chairs and lost all objectivity (that anyway). Chair field with lights and sound I find too easy, too romantic and too smooth. And as we already mentioned today, we actually have no time to work it out properly. It’s a piece on light design, and that would require a research of its own. We can always save it for another time. If the walking works with the chair field in the middle is to try out (tomorrow), though I also think that our set up so far is the best we can have. What is nice about chair field set up for walking is, as soon as we leave, they are left to the chair field. On and on. I feel as I am speculating on the stock market! But I enjoy this activity of juggling ideas a lot, it is an exciting activity and definitely a type of art practice.
