Start to feel disappointed to the organizing thing here. In the original plan, I should have a opening of the Light Festival in the old town of Tallinn last Friday. The opening should happen at 18.00 near Harju Street. It's called Valgus Festival in local language here. There were several light sculptures from art students and artists who are from different countries. I took a place of them. Unfortunately, around 18.00, some works didn't finish setting work. And suddenly, the electric turned off. In our area, none of our works had light. And the bad weather also was continuing. Raining, snowing, winding.... And, nervous artists and students tried to find the manager who responds the festival. But, they just cared to offering the hot tee for the people and waited for the "BIG" dinner after the opening. How fantastic thinking they had! Where is the light sculptures? How could we say to the audience,"That is a light festival. (without light)"? That was the service of organization after having got the permission from City Government?
Well, I do don't appreciate the organizing thing here any more. During my experiences here, I met such mistakes or accidents more than 3 times. I do don't know how will be going here in the future. Hope that the related departments can pay more attention on such works.
Fortunately, I took some photos of my light work when we prepared for the exhibition. But, It's not so perfect. Because that the photos is a bit far from the idea without the participants in the work besides me and my partner.
