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 />

ensuing improvised mayhem),<br />

was found, and how, in 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 />
