I'm surprised, astonished, flabbergasted and baffled. Jani phoned me two hours ago and told that Gmurzynska, the gallery that represents him now, wants to show our collaborative work We Love Vodka & Freedom at ArtBasel, the most prestigious art fair of the world.

Now Jani is installing the work and I booked my flights for tomorrow. I arrive there late at night on Monday, celebrate and network in the opening parties in Tuesday and  fly back home on wednesday morning. I don't know what to think about this. I'm sure that I'm the last artist to be informed about his participation in the fair. I hope that this is a good move and gives a turbo boost to my career. Fingers crossed.

My gallerists have told me that one of reasons why my drawings are almost impossible to sell is the bad quality paper I use. I got the paper I mostly use from Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, where I worked in the education department when I was student. My boss Minna had found the paper in a storage of an old paper factory. I took two stacks of it but I'm not sure if I asked a permisson.

The paper is old and yellowish. White acrylic paint looks amazingly good on it.  The complaint of the collectors and dealers is that it's going to get even more yellow, that it changes. I think that's an erroneous attitude towards the world and the life. here everything changes and nothing stays the same. Not even an oil painting is everlasting. And if it's not the time then it's the Taliban who bomb the Buddhas.

Anyways, now I bought a ten meter roll of the super high quality Fabriano Artistico 300g cotton paper. I'm going to make big drawings that might last longer. But maybe I use my daughter's felt-tip pens and the boll point pen of the chinese supermarket in Belleville, Paris.

Everybody is asking if I'm going to Venice, meaning the opening parties of the Venice Biennale and its collateral events during this week. I've never traveled anywhere to see exhibitions. I've seen once a half of the Venice Biennale (jumping over the wall to the Giardini), I've been never to the Documenta in Kassel or any other big biennale.

Of course I'm interested in art but I have more important things to do (and spend my money) than travel to have drinks and do some networking in Italy. For example, painting the house (what I've been doing the last days) or painting some paintings (what I'm going to do today). I'm artist because I make art. It's my profession, not my lifestyle.

I'm going to Venice when I'm exhibiting there - in 2011 I hope to represent at least Finland, Spain and Tuvalu. This year I just listen to the classic song Venezia (1985) by the Spanish band Hombres G.

Lo tengo preparado, tengo las maletas / Vamos juntos hasta Italia, quiero comprarme un jersey a rayas / Pasaremos de la mafia, nos bañaremos en la playa... / Io sono il capone della mafia / Io sono il figlio della mia mamma / Tu sei uno stronzo di merda / E un figlio di troia in Venezia (Quiero spaghetti...) / Venezia... / (...Y mozarella) / Venezia... / (Quiero tirarme...) / Venezia... / (...A Donnatella) / Tavamo per farci la numero mile / Cuando aniró la guardia civile.

I have invented the Amazing Magnetic Eternal Life Device. It allows humans to stay physically young forever. Please believe me. Everything you read is true and is important. Now people do not have to age anymore.

Based on testimonies, facts, and proofs, people are able to stay physically young forever by using my new inventions The Eternal Life Rings and The Eternal Life Foot Braces. The Eternal Life Rings are to be worn on both small fingers of a user during sleep. The Eternal Life Foot Braces are to be worn on all toes of both feet during sleep.

Both devices consist of rare earth or ceramic magnets and plastic braces which hold magnets onto the fingers of the user. The fingers and toes are the negative (-) and positive (+) terminals of your body.

When placing the magnetic devices, the magnetic pole on the right side of the human body is opposite to the left side.   With a opposite pole on each side of the human body, blood circulation and electric current of the body are enhanced. The enhanced blood circulation and electric current increase metabolism in order to fight the aging process.

The Eternal Life Rings and The Eternal Life Foot Braces invented by me allow humans to stay physically young forever or turn humans physically younger as long as you wear the rings or foot braces every night during sleep.

In June 2001, I walked around Giardini during the Venice Biennale opening. I had jumped over the fence and packed my plastic bag with a pizza base and a Coolwhip spray. My target for pieing was the curator of the event - Harald Szeeman. I don't now if any super curator have been caked. Maybe non of them. And I think that Andy Warhol is the only artist pied (this was done by the American anarchist Aron Kay).

I wish that one day I'm so famous and powerful that the art students cake me all the time. It seems that the best chances for caking you can find in Montreal where Les Entartistes, members of l'Internationale des Anarchos-Pâtissiers, are very active. They say that "the pie gives power back to the people because so many feel powerless in the face of big politicians and industrialists". I think they should include artists there, too.

This is a list of people who have been caked: Kim Beazley, Medea Benjamin, Pierre Bourque, Steve Bracks, Robert Bresson, Benoit Brière, Dave Bronconnier, Willie Brown, Anita Bryant, Richard Byyny, Michel Camdessus, Carl XVI Gustaf, Andrew Castle, Jean Charest, Jean Chrétien, Jeremy Clarkson, Ann Coulter, Gábor Demszky, Jean Doré, Philippe Douste-Blazy, Jacques Duchesneau, Stéphane Dion, Blairo Maggi, Pim Fortuyn, James Ehnes, Milton Friedman, Thomas Friedman, Courtney Friel, Bill Gates, Dan Glickman, Joyce Groote, David Horowitz, Charles Hurwitz, David Icke, Jennifer Jolly, William Johnson, Hilmar Kabas, Calvin Klein, Ralph Klein, William Kristol, Gérald Lacoste, Bernard Landry, Karl Lagerfeld, Bernard-Henri Lévy, Bjørn Lomborg, Frank Loy, Peter Mandelson, Ralph Nader, Jacques Parizeau, Pierre Karl Péladeau, Pierre Pettigrew, John Pepper, Fred Phelps, Prem Rawat, Jim Rhodes, Bosse Ringholm, Allan Rock, Ségolène Royal, Renato Ruggiero, George Ryan, David Shayler, Clare Short, Jeffrey Skilling, Sylvester Stallone, Gérald Tremblay, Claude Vorilhon, Andy Warhol, Ann Widdecombe, Tommy Yune, Gerrit Zalm.
