ストレンジ!
2010年1月11日
今年の欧州の寒さは半端じゃないですが、昼間でも零下だと、テレビの南極の映像なんかで見る、あの白くもやけたかんじの空気になります。
道路も凍り自転車のブレーキも凍る、今日はそんな日でした。
そんな寒--------い日に友達Sangheeのオープニングがありました。
夕方になり、スタジオからギャラリーへ行こうとしていたら、家へガスと電力を供給するエネルギー会社Nuonから、
「お宅のガスと電気のメーターが今日午後4時頃に壊れました。明日の朝9時頃修理に伺います。」
という電話がありました。
「えっ?はい、朝9時なら家にいますけど、あのー、今夜の電気とガスは使えるのですよね?」
ときくと、
「NO, 使えません、だから明日の朝修理に伺います。」
と言われました。
アウチ!!!!!またこんな極寒の日に限って!!!!
うちでアロエ(猫)はどうしているの・・寒さで震えているに違いない・・でもまずオープニングに行かなくては、ということで、途中で自分の分、大心の分とGo Eunのぶんと3つ懐中電灯を買い、つまりは気を落ち着けるための買い物をしてギャラリーに向かいました。
オープニングの後ピッツエリアに行こうということになったのですが、ちょっと今日は家が心配すぎるので大心だけ食事に行ってもらい、私は凍った道路を急いで家路につきました。
家に着いて、買ったばかりの懐中電灯の光でおそるおそる家の中を歩いてみて、
よかった、まだ部屋の中までは冷えてない、明かりも懐中電灯で充分、あとはこのあとどのくらいまで冷えるのかな・・と思ってふとストーブを見ると火がついています。
あら?なんで??
変だな、ストーブがついてる、台所に行ってみるとお湯もでる、じゃあ止まるのは電気だけ?と思い電気のスイッチに手を伸ばしてみるとこれもつく。どの部屋もつく。???
結局、家中の電気とガス、全て異常なく使える事が分かりました。
嬉しい、嬉しいんだけどあの電話は何だったの??あのあと誰か来て直したの?私ピザ断って帰ってきたのに全然無事なの?ワカラナイ・・・、頭に繰り返し響くのはストレンジ・・ の一言でした。ワカラナイ・・・
あ、Sangheeの展示はここで見られます。変で面白かったのでひ!

Strange!
18th January, 2010
Today was Sanghee's opening at Witzenhauzen gallery in Amsterdam,
http://www.witzenhausengallery.nl/exhibition_detail.php?idxEvent=234
in this freezing day. wheather were bad and digrees are minus whole day long.
When I was ready to go to the opening (I was in my studio), I got an awful phonecall from an energy company.
A woman said,
"Your electricity meter and gas meter have been broken at 4 o'clock in this afternoon. They don't work anymore. We have to replace the meters tomorrow morning. Are you in your house tomorrow morning?"
I answered,
"??? 4 o'clock?...Yes, I will be in my house tomorrow morning. But...meters broken...how do you know that because meters are all inside of my house...Well, By the way, is that possible to use electricity and gas tonight in my house? As you know today's freezing day.."
Woman: "No, it's not. You can't use electricity and gas tonight. That's why I am calling you to make an appointment tomorrow morning. Do you understand?"
I: "No way!... how can I live there without heatings?"
W: "I don't know. now we are working hard to recover them as soon as possible."
I :(still feeling unclear what's the problem, but) OK..anyway you say I cannot use my heatings tonight.
W: "No, you cannot."
Ouch! My goodness!!How's Aloe(my cat) doing now in such a cold house..she must be freezing..
Anyway I have to go to the Opening first.
In the way to the opening, I bought 3 torches(me, daishin and Go Eun's) just for making feel easier.
The exhibition was good, qualities are seriously high but also somehow comical. good exhibition.
Sweet Sabghee invited me and Daishin to join to pizzeria after opening but I was too worring about the house, so, I asked to Daishin joined and I skipped.
After I arriveed the house, I realized that that is not too cold in the house yet.
I started checking the house in turn and turn with torch light, like,
"Good, Torch makes enough lightness, you see? Air is still warm... a gas stove is still working... What? still working??"
Next, I went to the kitchen to check the boiler and that worked, too.
Next, I turned-on lights in the house one by one, and I realized they all worked. too.
WHAT????
Well.. I was very glad to know all powers came, but...what about the phonecall? Did anyone already come and fixed? What about my Pizza? What about my new 3 torches? What about...What about...
All I could say was just "STRANGE".
