Descriptions of my passion with Ur Land project,
Through memory I have to go back to the year 1995 when I did arrived Holland as immigrant seeking secure and better life and then applied the month after with a project (The Lost Land) to the Dutch government trying at that time to express my mixed feeling and myself confused after landing without plan on new earth, new culture and new nature as well.
I found myself totally “Lost” with mind full of questions about the destiny and how to survive again, I was carrying a heavy past, wars stories , sorrows and dirty memories that makes the disk is full. The model of the project has been from ceramic done and displayed one month in the (new polder museum) in Lelystad in order to make the idea open to public, after awhile and for mysterious reasons the project and the model disappeared, until this moment.
Now, and after 14 years I ‘m trying again to say something in the air expecting an echo from some ware and after sending my proposal to Mr. Peter Barton I was greatly enthusiastic after his positive responding, he wakes me up and push “Ur Land project” to the reality direction with brilliant thoughts. I ‘m strong believer in team work, in sharing duties and ideas, so I suggest starting forum of a group whom interested in building this “land art work” Regarding funding, to be honest I have very little experience with asking fund or sponsorship What I should do in this case, I wonder. I hope you can help me and I will do my best even here in Holland.
Why Ur land?
Ur: a word has the meaning of the oldest
We trying on the stage of “Ur” to unify the heart languages in one word (Humanity first)
To let the people from all colors celebrating inhabiting Ur space
I may say if we could import ruin material of the war from Iraq that will be super hosting of Omi to the first dot of civilization 2030-1980 BC
Ur makes the meeting spontaneous
