  Jason Rhoades and Laura died on August 1st

Yesterday two shocks on one day, a week after their deaths. I of course can not compare these two far and different humans, who are only connected via myself. Jason Rhoades I never met and never saw his installions exept on reproductions, but those I saw regulary in various texts of the German Kunstforum and was always very fascinated by its courage, surprise effects and nonchalance. I was not much interested in his biographic details (I thought him to be much younger than 41), but over a couple of years to me his name formed a unity with his unexpected and to be discovered works. Parallels I saw with the oevre of Dieter Roth and the young died Michel Majerus, who also worked over times in Los Angelos. Sad, that he died far too young.

Laura, was the heart and soul of our Tbilisi neighbourhood at Sayatnova Street and an eminence with authority on everyday-life issues. She lived alone, her son with his family far away in Moscow. Formerly a respected teacher of Georgian language in the 6th school of Tbilisi, she lived the last 4 or 5 years on her little pension of 40 Dollar a month. She had a great heart, very interesting insides on common and neighbourhood issues. She continously fought her loneliness, diabetes and various small diseases, but was in a good shape when we had three weeks ago a good cake and coffee. She also died on August 1st in the age of 71, we miss her a lot.
