30 days of Museo in the 11th Bienal of la Habana:
http://www.bienalhabana.cult.cu/?secc=artistas_amp&idArtista=78After
After a long and difficult communication with the organisation of the Bienal and the bureaucracy of the Cuban system, we managed to arrive in la Habana, Cuba.
Some tapes and few plastic bags with us, just in case…..
Our preparation : some articles about the status of the plastic bag (=jaba) in cuba http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/cuba/jaba.htmand and get inspired by the work of a cuban artist http://www.lajiribilla.co.cu/2003/n090_01/mirada.html
Plastic bags are sold in the market for 1 peso and people are used to wash and reuse them, so we didn’t feel confortable to ask people to bring bags to us, like we usually do with Museo. However, on the floor, in la Habana and on the beach you can find a lot of plastic bags, so we started to clean up the city and wash the bags cuban style.

Then we started the workshop in the Cujae, the University of Arquitecture, where we buid up a new Museo, a small one, made out a mix of cuban and european bags, similar to the group of people that worked on it. We worked with students of different ages.

The landing took place at 12 p.m., in the hottest moment of the day.

MUSEO AERO SOLAR WEEK
at the Alter Flughafen (AERONAUTEN WERKSTATT)
June, 22nd – 27th 2010
THE PROGRAM
Here’s a sketch of the activities for the museo aero solar week. Every day the Aeronauten werkstatt is open and the museo aero solar group is waiting for you to take part in the balloon-making, discussions and other activities. There is no age limit or any particular ability you are pretended to have to give your contribution.
All the activities are taking place at the Aeronauten werkstatt in Bonames/Kalbach
(read more below about how to reach the place)
tuesday, 22nd
2pm – 5pm >> The first day we are setting up the Aeronauten werkstatt, preparing all the materials and making the “do-it-together museo kits”. But if you want to take part you are welcome to join us since today!
wednesday, 23rd
9:30am >> pupils will build a balloon
2pm – 5pm>> Open collective work on the museo aero solar – making. Come to learn how to make solar balloons (easy!) from reused plastic bags (if you can, collect the ones you have at home and bring them with you, any colour-any size-any shape) and start preparing new sections that will be added to the museo. There could be also some tests and attempts to improve the balloon structure, the rope-system and other technical solutions.
>> The “do-it-together museo kits” will be on sale from today !
6.30pm>> There will be an open discussion about museo aero solar, its story and practice. We’ll take some decisions about the next steps and discuss how to realise museo aero solar with a different approach and in self-organised ways, starting from alternative fundraising.
[> 20:30 public viewing gemany-ghana at the towercafe, nearby the Aeronauten werkstatt]
thursday, 24th
9:30pm>> pupils will build a balloon
2pm – 5pm>> The collective work on the balloon continues.
[You are welcome to join us for the dinner, but remember to bring something to share]
20:00 >>Plastic planet (documentary)
friday, 25th
9:30pm>> pupils are building a balloon
2pm – 5pm>>We’ll repair together the balloon and continue in the making of new sections. We’ll prepare also a new kind of entrance, made of cardboard, that should facilitate the entry inside the balloon.
6.30pm>> First benefit dinner for museo aero solar: bringing food (also fresh meat for the grill) and drinks to share or buying a hand-made “museo kit” you are welcome to have dinner at the hangar. The money will be used to finance the construction of a new solar balloon.
saturday, 26th
11am – 4pm>> The work on the new sections for the balloon continues. In the afternoon these new pieces will be added to the structure of the museo aero solar.
[ Possibly, the balloon will be partially inflated inside the hangar ]
6.30pm>> Benefit dinner for museo aero solar. Bring some food and drinks to share or buy a “museo kit” to have dinner together at the hangar. Only tonight with Music!
sunday, 27th
(only in case of good weather conditions)
from 7am to about 9am >> Museo aero solar Flight !!!
We’ll see if it’s possible to lift a person, trying to calculate the weight lifted by the balloon.
As soon as you come, you’ll have the best chances to help in the preparation, learn how to fly a solar balloon and enter inside the museo (it’s worth of it!) few minutes before the launch.
>> If you can, bring coffee and something to eat and after the flight we’ll have breakfast together.
11am – 4pm>> It’s the “Bird Day”: the Aeronauten werkstatt invites you for the construction and flight of bird-kites!
