Yesterday evening, after the lectures came to a close, easa-goers settled down for what set out to be a quiet night in at the bar. We all dotted ourselves in eclectic groups around the bar on the remaining seating spaces and cushions. The Dutch hung out on the steps passing sangria and smoking cigarettes, whilst the Irish and Macedonians played chess quietly in the corner, contemplating their next move while mulling over shots of tequila.

As the night moved on and began to pick up pace, the basement dance floor was unleashed and filled by a conga line lead by the one and only Sam Patterson(UK). Pop’n and lock’n and dance off’s ensued, and

neck. After this the world’s most epic water/sangria fight began! A long and fierce battle followed and ended with every single body soaked to the bone. The last drink was finished just in time for Franziska Koppel (FL) to begin preparing for breakfast.

All in all, last night was a great night and umbrella can’t wait for tonight!

antics continued throughout the night. Kerstin Pluch(AUS) was even found handcuffed to the entrance to the basement. So if anyone finds the keys to the handcuffs, or a bolt cutters or even a bone saw please drop them into the info point as we believe she is still stuck there.

People seemed to enjoy the night in but at about five o’clock, the revelry was coming to a close and EASAians retired to their bunks. But at this point the real party kicked off around the bar.

The Spanish came across the bar to join in on the moshing to MGMT and drawing genitalia on Hugo Pointillart’s (FR) face, arms, legs and

• A look at the construction workshops happening around the campus

Things seem to be going just fine. Participants were busy fixing thin pieces of rope to steel rods, so they could finally finalize their structure, or rather, the skeleton, as it is re-ferred to among the participants. The “soul” is to be added next, so a sus-tainable, HOT WATER shower can be created (ohhh yess!!). Common hose pipes were currently being painted black, so they could be weaved in the skeleton itself. As one of the participants, Celine (MT), her-self explained, the south side will be

covered densely with pipes, while the spacing of pipes in the west and east side would be more spaced out, so as to allow more air and light through.A 200 litre tank will be used to supply water for this open shower. The team calculated that this tank would be enough for 4 showers, then regener-ating after 1 hour, for another 4 show-ers and so on. The workshop is currently divided in two teams, since 2 projects are be-ing handled at the same time. One of them is working on the shower men-

tioned above, this being considered as a more artistic shower, while the second team is working on what Pepo (ES) calls, as a more efficient shower. This will be incorporated with SE(A)STAIN workshop, supplying the con-tainer with a shower having a hot supply of water. Works are all going great and on schedule, aiming to fin-ish the showers this week and start-ing working on a windmill the com-ing week. Pepo proudly claimed “we invite people to test our shower to-morrow evening”. Well, we all enjoy experimenting new things, so make your way to the yard where the small tent is situated, and try it out!!

Concrete Construction This workshop is the place where the people are as hard as the concrete they make. The main idea is to make an interactive sculpture that would make a better connection between the people and the beach. They are very careful and professional. They have a few backup plans including gi-ant octopus tentacles (too much hen-tai), special hammocks for frying hu-man flesh and a concrete crowd.

Tutor Ville Mellin says he is very content with his participants: “They really enjoy moulding. Yester-day we made some plaster models. It was quite successful, I think.” At the moment they are making tests with different types of concrete. They hope they will have the permission to make modifications on the giant cubes (on the starting point of the Santa Maria Del Mar beach) If everything goes as planed they will be probably making caskets for mold by tomorrow.

Sticky Art This workshop has been using exclusively brightly coloured Sellotape to create graphic 2d representations on the walls and floors.

The good news is that the workshop has moved out of the 2d and into the 3d, when Umbrella caught up with Stephan as the workshop was in the middle of decorating the EASA kitchen with some lovely multicoloured streamers and a floor plan on the ground.

Unfortunately though the workshop has been limited to working on the school site so far, “we are waiting for permission from the town hall tomorrow to work on some sites in the city”. This is disappointing for the workshop who had hoped that

the fact that Sellotape was so easily removed would have worked in their favour.

None the less discouraged however the workshop too the first day to in a relaxed fashion allowing the participants to try out some small features on the site such as the pink bar extension. Otherwise they have been applying tape to Basement party space also.

Hopefully following permission they hope to create a large installation on one of the modern concrete buildings near where the Workshop Fair was held. The Architect for this building was impressed when he visited the EASA site and was eager to get involved. He will also be lecturing next week. What will this sticky installation be? Well its up to the Participants to decide, but we will be sticking around to find out!

Small InterventionsSmall interventions is an EASA classic since several years. Since Small Interventions happens every year it is not developed from this years theme, DeCOASTruction. But the workshop always adapt to the context and the location of EASA. This week the participants have been scanning Cádiz getting a sense of the place and looking for possible sites in need of improvements, where problems can be solved.

This is a workshop I personally always are looking forward too see the result of. The step after analysing is designing. We had a coffee with Kristin (Swe) and Katja (DK). The girls are very happy with the site they have found. Kristin says: “We wanted to reconnect with the theme and have found a demolishing site. The site is undefined and with our intervention we want to create a focus. ”

Small Interventions are presently hanging out on the second floor in the school, but will soon start building in the tent in the courtyard.

The plan is to order the material today, so now they are going to finish their design. There is one thing to have an idea about what you want to do, but an other to figure out how to actually construct it. Fortunately the tutors are very able to help out, as you can see in yesterdays calendar picture of Malte Wittenberg. /KB

EASIANS SURFING IN CADIZ

EL PARASOL29 Friday JULY

• ATTENTION!! BARRY WALSH (IRL) PLEASE RING YOUR MAMMY. SHE HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU. IF YOU SEE HIM, TELL HIM. THAT IS ALL.

SLEEP AND ALARMS Everyone has to sleep this is a fact. Another fact is that we have to wake up. One thing I am grateful for at EASA is that i don't have to have set an alarm, mainly because everyone else at EASA does, forget sleeping in or a relaxing morning, especially at the tutor rooms where people have to be “responsible” and the alarm bells start ringing at 8:30. Just a couple of quick points for people that still insist on setting their own alarm.WAKE UP, AND TURN IT OFF. When I say turn it off I don’t just mean put it on snooze so that when you have gone to have a shower/shit it turns back on and everyone in the

room is woken up and annoyed for a solid 10 minutes of what ever your stupid alarm tone is. Now if for example you are one of the hapless victims of a continuous alarms, there are 2 possible solutions.

Problem A: The person is in a deep sleep and does not wake up to their own alarm.Solution 1: Wake up and follow the sound to the offensive person and phone. Then politely give this person a sharp poke on the shoulder and in-form them of their phone and its re-sulting annoyance to you and all the other sleeping people. Remember this person has not been able to wake up to their own alarm so the pressure of the poking you need to give them will be relative to the depth of their slumber and your annoyance. I would recommend firm to HARD.Solution 2: if you have previously noted who has the offensive phone throw random objects of varying size and hardness at the person, while screaming “turn your alarm off”

Problem B: the person whose alarm is ringing is gone and their phone alarm is still ringing.Solution: find the phone and turn the alarm off. Then take the phone and drop it to the Umbrella desk. Leave the owner of the phone a note to say that their phone is at the Um-brella desk. When the person comes to collect their phone from us we will take their picture and name and place it in the “alarm page of shame”.GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK

Good news – 1 short lectures tonightTonights first lecture takes place af-ter sunset at the steps area and is by Seville based Architects Medio Mundo Architectos who will be giv-ing a supposedly short presentation about deCOASTruction phenomenon in Spain. Come and show your support to-night at the steps and there might even be an episode of EASA TV at the end as a rewardTime: After sunsetLocation: StepsDuration: Short

Following alot of design or in some cases redesign the two larger scale construction workshops prepared to start working onsite today with their materials. These ambitious projects are both going to be using timber and are in fact located on the same site but at different ends.Tutor for Orgadiz Frederik De Smedt (BE) and Avanzada! Tutor Kieran Donellan(IE) were last tu-toring at EASA Italy in 2009. This year they also both had the large scale construction projects, now while the two groups seem to be on good terms it is worth mentioning that since they are using the same materials they still might have to compete for things like tools and timber. When this reporter happened to pass by to the tool bo we couldn’t help but notice the two piles of tim-ber with seemingly hostile mess-ges indicating ownership. When we caught up with both tutors last night Frederik especially seemed confident about finishing on time this year. Only time will tell.More to report on this later......

• A modern classic getting some sartorial attention in Cádiz

The Breton stripe might be mistaken for being British in origin. This is only part wrong, as its true roots lies in the French province of Brittany. This French province has a common history with Great Britain and used to be called Lower Brittany. A region that was home to one of the original Celtic tribes of northern Europe. Apparently the French Brittanians love bag piping just as much as their Northern counterparts.

In the 1858 Act of France, a Breton stripe shirt was taken as the official uniform for French navy sailors. Apparently the stripe was supposed to help spot men who fell overboard. Whether it was this life saving aspect, or its simple powerful look, the Breton stripe was soon adapted by other seafarers.

It was the genius mind of Coco Chanel who in her brilliant understanding of gender took the masculine look away from the coast and made it available to modern women and men alike.

The look has become a powerful force in fashion. It has transcended gender borders in a way that is comparable with the advent of the jean or the white shirt. The Breton stipe liberates. It gives the comfort of a uniform, setting free possibilities of experimentation in other areas. All without losing a sense of conformity.

The Breton stripe has two iconic protagonists. It were James Dean and Audrey Heapburn, both part of a first generation of global iconic celebrities who sported the Breton stripe and helped to imbed the stripe into popular mass culture.

The Breton stripe has taken over EASA as an unmistakable fashion trend. The traditional stripe has been adapted and transformed giving rise to many variations. But we have to be beware of adaptations becoming either gimmicky, cynical or outride offensive. The Breton stripe can handle a lot, but it’s a thin line to walk.
