'Amikejo' is a series of four exhibitions by artist duos at MUSAC’s Laboratorio 987. Amikejo was a tiny state that existed from 1908–1920 between the Netherlands, Belgium and present day Germany and was founded on a desire to foster more effective international communication through the synthetic language Esperanto – Amikejo means ‘place of friendship’ in Esperanto. This episode-place was a unique synthesis of cartography, language, nationhood, politics, economics and subjectivity, and is entreated as a twin site to Laboratorio 987 by lending its name and conceptual borders to the exhibition series.
Fermín Jiménez Landa (Pamplona, Spain, 1979) & Lee Welch (Louisville, USA, 1975) did not know each other before the invitation to participate in Amikejo. As if engaged in international diplomacy, the artists have had to understand each other personally and artistically before issuing what might be regarded as a joint statement based on what they have agreed and negotiated, in the form of an exhibition. Jiménez Landa and Welch have chosen to establish their collaboration in relation to the notion of the micronation and devices which delineate sovereignty – borders, stamps, anthems, and so on. Their project refers to other historical episodes in addition to Amikejo itself as well as taking inspiration from methodologies which combine fixed parameters with improvisation, such as the directing technique of filmmaker John Cassavetes.
Their works in MUSAC comprise a constellation of diverse performative, discursive, interactive and displayed elements, some of which are directly apparent in the Laboratorio 987, while others document occurrances at remote locations, or exist only in the imagination. A platform-like structure and sculptures that take the form of portals or border markers constitute spaces and tools for assembly and discussion as well as hosting further two-dimensional and video works. A marching band from León was recruited to compose and perform a national anthem for a new autonomous island state and the founding of this micronation has been documented in video and photography. Companioning this, a series of letters have been sent by the artists using stamps from Moresnet, the republic which anteceded Amijeko. Jiménez Landa’s and Welch’s joint endeavour considers how art can produce new understanding, memories and communicative possibilities together with an audience.

To the north (left) of the fence, it's Scotland. And I duly crossed it but in other places it's not quite so clear. That said, most of the journey for the next few hours was in what remained of England.
And this is looking east, down the beginning of the Coquet valley. To the right (including the hill straight ahead), it's the back of the army ranges at Otterburn.
If I administrated a border of a country that changes its name every 4-5 years, I wouldn' bother updating the sign either.

Usedom is a Baltic Sea island in Pomerania, since 1945 divided between Germany and Poland. It is the second biggest Pomeranian island after Rügen and before Wolin.
It is situated north of the Szczecin Lagoon estuary of the River Oder. About 80% of the island belongs to the German district of Vorpommern-Greifswald in the Federal State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The eastern part and the largest city on the island – Świnoujście (German name: Swinemünde), belong to the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship.
With an annual average of 1906 sunshine hours, the island of Usedom is the sunniest region of both Germany and Poland, and it is also the sunniest island in the Baltic Sea. Hence its nickname Sunshine Island (German: Sonneninsel).

So all of us, except for Keith who decides to hang out with these chicks he met on IRC, pile into the car and head towards TJ. When we get there, Sam and Andrea go walking off on their own while Anit, Lincoln and I go on our own quest: To find a donkey show.
Now, a donkey show is one of those urban legends. Something you hear from 'a friend of a friend' and Anit obviously heard about it from someone. TJ, being what it is, has lots of bars and nightclubs, and it also has a lot of sleazy strip joints as well. I think the three of us ended up going to each and every one of them looking for a donkey show.
This is the border between two parts of the planet, the Separatist half and the Republic half. The fighting is at a lull at the moment, so people are going back and forth between the two halves, visiting family and stuff. There's been a break in in one of the shops.

Rantau Panjang is a bustling border town about 40 km from Kota Bharu, Kelantan. It is separated from Thailand by Sungai Golok (Golok River).
This rustic town has a duty-free zone popular for its Thai foodstuff, clothing and housewares. Not a sleepy town, the atmosphere here is generally intense.

This sheep is part of a small flock at Moulton in Norfolk.
The Border Leicester is a polled, long-wool sheep and is considered a dual-purpose breed as it is reared both for meat and for wool. The sheep are large but docile.
The Border Leicester was developed in 1767 in Northumberland, England. Their name derives from the fact that their birthplace is near the Scottish border with their foundation stock being Dishley Leicester rams.
The Dishley Leicester was created and bred by Robert Bakewell (1726-1795) by crossing the old Lincolnshire breed with the Leicestershire type sheep. The Dishley Leicester became very popular with local farmers. George and Mathew Culley bought some of Robert Bakewell's Dishley Leicesters and the breed was soon found on both sides of the border. Around the 1830's two distinct types of Dishley Leicesters were developing on the two sides of the border. The Culley brothers were crossing their sheep with Teeswater sheep while other farmers in different areas along the border were crossing with Cheviots. This variation in the breed resulted in the two being nicknamed 'bluecaps' and 'redlegs'. Many farmers preferred the hardier redlegs and around 1850 this variation of the Dishley Leicester became known as the Border Leicester. They were a fairly common breed in the UK by the 19th. century.
Registered flocks are now found in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Border Leicester sheep have been exported to Australia in 1871, British Guiana, Canada, China, Colombia, France, Hungary, India, Iran, Japan, New Zealand in 1859, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United States, where the first breed association was formed in 1888, and Yugoslavia.
Border Leicester's are all white with a distinct long body, well-developed chest, well-sprung ribs and a wide, strong back. The nose should be black and the ears should be large, upright and alert. Feet should also be dark in colour. The head and legs should be free of wool and only covered in short white hair making it easier for shearing. Sheep of this breed should also have a distinct 'Roman' nose
The weight of a mature Border Leicester ram is in the range of 309 to 386 lb. (140 to 175 kg) and a mature ewe 200 to 260 lb. (90 to 120 kg). A yearling ewe is around 141 lb. (64 kg).
Their white wool tends to be very long and is prized by spinners because of its crimp and lustre. Sheep are normally shorn twice a year when the wool has reached a length of around 3.9 in. (100 mm). Lambs yield an average of 4 lb. (1.8 kg) of wool, yearlings may yield 7.1 lb. (3.2 kg) at each shearing.
The Border Leicester is an excellent breed for farmers. They produce good milk and are good mothers with a lambing percentage of about 150%. Lambs finish quickly due to their high growth rate and produce high quality, desirable meat. The breed is also hardy and easy to keep and manage.

On any list of 'smartest dog breeds,' border collies always come out on top. But smart doesn't always mean easily trained, or willing to please. Smart can just mean what it always means, and that is having a capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc. (from dictionary.com)
Einstein was smart. So was Leonardo Da Vinci, Marie Curie, Plato and Sofia Kovalevskaya to name a few. Now we're talking brain cells on level I can't even comprehend. On my best day, plenty of sleep and hydration, I don't think I could grasp meanings better than any of those people, even today, when they're all dead.
So when people say stuff like, "Oh, my dog is really smart! He's the smartest dog ever," they MUST be talking in terms of dog smart, and not people smart. Because come on, they're dogs.
Well, except of course, MY dog, Pete. He is really smart! He's the smartest dog ever. Which is really annoying because it's been my move for a long time now and I only have my king left.
