picked out), allowing the creative<br />
ingredients to respond<br />
and cook into the canvas,<br />
collecting the combined<br />
results (all in all 40 artists<br />
reproduced 50 paintings),<br />
showing them for three days<br />
at Max gallery (Tina kindly<br />
lent her downstairs and<br />
patiently put up with the<br />

shape of elegance, humor and<br />
provocativeness of Mister<br />
Curtis Jones.<br />
At 11 pm on Tuesday 20th of<br />
August, Curtis got on ‘stage’<br />
at Sa Fonda and nobody left<br />
until 3 am. For four hours,<br />
Curtis kept a hypnotic trance<br />
circulating while he juggled a<br />
gavel, his glasses, the sales<br />
list, joints and many CubaLibres<br />
(muy libre) - all on one<br />
stool. Pixie and Salvador<br />
took turns showing each<br />
painting around and keeping<br />
track of the racing bids as<br />
Curtis egged on the onlookers<br />
to look further into the<br />
paintings and further into<br />
their pockets. His shouts<br />
introducing the glories of<br />
Letitia Bermejo’s ‘Frog Hat’<br />
or Annie Lennox’s ‘Christ<br />
Dog Terror’ could be heard<br />
all the way across town. He<br />
cajoled buyers to promote<br />
young talents: "You don’t<br />
want to lose this young man<br />
to the big city – wait ‘til he<br />
grows up and you’ll really<br />
regret it." Curtis’ burbling<br />
laughter rolling around as he<br />
lauded the Deyans for their<br />
artistic acuity recognizing<br />
where credit was due: "Come<br />
on! This painting comes from<br />
a Graves, if it weren’t for<br />
them, none of us would be<br />
here, right?" and he threatened<br />
us with not returning if<br />
certain genius was left unacknowledged:<br />
"I mean, just<br />
look at this painting, how<br />
can you live without it". And<br />
he sang, incited, and improvised<br />
his way through a nonstop<br />
challenge that he turned<br />
into a timeless ritual of community.<br />
AND he sold every<br />
single painting (and someti-<br />
mes tried to sell their owners<br />
too) and managed to raise<br />
over 8000 euros for the<br />
cause, hitting a target over<br />
700% further than the estimated<br />
expectation. And<br />
generous buyers and painters<br />
and all those involved got<br />
more than just an image<br />
transaction, they bought and<br />
made and partook in a general<br />
state of overwhelming<br />
excitement and enjoyment.<br />
And this is a lot what Mati<br />
was about and hopefully<br />
what his cultural center will<br />
be about too.<br />
These first funds will be used<br />
for the scouting of locations,<br />
the cataloging of Mati’s creative<br />
(and very chaotic)<br />
resources, and the proper<br />
development of a proposal to<br />
present to eventual contributors,<br />
sponsors and future participants.<br />
Funds are also<br />
necessary to re-record his<br />
massive music collection (a<br />
lifetime of recordings from<br />
different countries, especially<br />
african, spanish and latinamerican;<br />
all in danger of<br />
disappearing from damage by<br />
humidity and use), to refurbish<br />
his rare film collection<br />
(unstable supports) and to<br />
restore his painting ‘The Crucifixion’<br />
badly damaged over<br />
the years. Many other material<br />
necessities need tending<br />
to so as to be able to offer the<br />
full perspective. Other fundraising<br />
events are in the planning-<br />
any photographers interested<br />
in being involved with<br />
the next plan of advancement<br />
are ecstatically welcome to<br />
contact the Klarwein family<br />
at 629 471 000. That ‘stage’<br />
will be set in the next few<br />
months culminating into a<br />
tragic comedy commemorating<br />
Mati’s release from this<br />
sad, beautiful, stubborn and<br />
enlightened world which he<br />
loved and painted.<br />

Astrology / Maria Roxane<br />
Horoscope November-<br />
December<br />
Aries:<br />
Between November and the<br />
Winter holidays, you come<br />
into your own once again.<br />
Others notice your accomplishments,<br />
either for the first<br />
time or with renewed interest.<br />
Apologize to those you've<br />
hurt or whose time you've<br />
wasted. If you don't meet<br />
your true love by Winter<br />
Solstice, give yourself a<br />
break. Another year is about<br />
to begin, and it's an excellent<br />
moment for making promises<br />
that you intend to keep. Use<br />
December to appreciate your<br />
most loyal friends. Disappointment<br />
is inevitable when<br />
the Deià bars and restaurants<br />
shut down for the off-season.<br />
The onset of Winter connects<br />
you viscerally with all that's<br />
cold and dark. If you don't<br />
like the reminder, surround<br />
yourself with loved ones.<br />
You'll be ready to move<br />
mountains again as the year<br />
ends.<br />
Taurus:<br />
For an amicable separation,<br />
don't do any of the final<br />
paperwork during the week<br />
of November 17th, when a<br />
lunar eclipse will cloud the<br />
picture. Get in touch with<br />
your feelings between<br />
November 21st and 23rd, or<br />
spend another month in the<br />
land of ambiguity. Everyone<br />
else is busy and cheerful with<br />
the coming holidays, but<br />
partners are happy celebrating<br />
one another. This is how<br />
your year ends. If you don't<br />
have someone in your life<br />
right now, you're so eligible<br />
and available that the universe<br />
is sure to give you the perfect<br />
gift. The Winter Solstice<br />
grounds you in your true<br />
identity. The leaves of the<br />
trees below the Es Molí have<br />
turned colors, they will dry<br />
up and blow away. The tree's<br />
actual shape will stand revealed.<br />
In the end, this is all you<br />
need to know.<br />
Gemini:<br />
Your intended enjoys your<br />
friendship without seeming<br />
to want anything more. Frustration<br />
mounts in early<br />
November. If you can't contain<br />
your raging fantasies, it<br />
may be necessary to act them<br />
out with someone who can<br />
handle them. By Halloween,<br />
you feel out of control again.<br />
Maybe you enjoy the feeling,<br />
but know that you can't<br />
switch it off at will. You're at<br />
your charming best while the<br />
Sun transits Sagittarius between<br />
November 23rd and<br />
December 22nd, but your act<br />
is only as good as your<br />
audience. Rely less on others,<br />
and you'll thrive. Your year<br />
ends on a busy note. You<br />
might decide to leave this<br />
quiet village and have a<br />
month of holiday socializing.<br />
Make sure that you come<br />
home with the right person,<br />
happy to have a private party<br />
of your own.<br />
Cancer:<br />
You're ready to make things<br />
happen again. Let idealism<br />
