Paul meet me at the gate. He looked younger than I had
expected. Dressed
casually.
As a host he cordially offered me to dine. While we entered
the hall I had an urge to ask him, is this a museum? trying not to break
anything as we passed by sculptures, paintings,
ceramics and a lot of other pieces of art which I had never
seen before.
This unexpected excitement spoiled my appetite, and I was no
longer hungry and
instead drank some wine.
He made clear that it is not any kind of a museum, but
instead, his Paul’s studio. He lives not in Rome, but by the Terranian sea,
where he was going shortly.
I asked Paul how he earns a living. Paul thought a little
and tried to find an appropriate explanation. He finally lit on: "I am of
independent means and don’t have to earn a living" pouring me another
glass of wine.
I asked him: “ Can I buy some of your paintings? How much it
will cost me?”
This question Paul left unanswered but he said that commonly
he paints his
pictures without the intention to sell them.
Earlier I noticed a little girl and a young woman moving
about him.
OMG!!!! I am shaken up. NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT Paul
Jaisini’s personal life! I don’t
believe this. THANK YOU GOOGLE!
this is like really mystifying. I am not an emotional person, rather
someone who loves to work hard and get the job done. This turned into something
other than working.
Google nowadays is not your “grandfather’s” google so to
speak. It is tailored
around you, your daily Internet activity, So finding any news, any special
information is no longer an easy task. I guess because
there’s too much of
everything and what one is looking for could be placed
out of reach. So we sort
of live on a planet that is flat as in dark ages. I say
that because if one is
provided the info that is tailored with limitation it
implies that breaking
away is not something one would even comprehend! We are
too used to trust our social functioning and think that we know everything, on
top of all news provided to us by the honest practice of the broadcasting
companies.
We don’t want to be those conspiracy freaks with no trust
to anything or
anyone. But truth is, if you don’t want to pay high
dollar for some expert
articles on the topics that could give more than the free
info, you are really
up against a brick wall of the new unknown reality and a
total incapacity to acquire
the needed info of high quality without spending your
whole life learning all the crap on the net and beyond in order to find finally
what you need.
So search is a tricky mother.
If you are creative and sort of spontaneous you
might somehow find your own style of fishing out the
essentials. But in my case I
often felt helpless and lost no longer willing to
participate in this
undertaking trying to document Gleitzeit.
It doesn’t look like I had managed a short explanation.
But this is my formula of
finding something that is not available on the tailored
to fit google search.
I enter the variations of phrases and words from the gleitzeit context of emails, postings, essays and add some other words I find on my way of locating Paul Jaisini's links. Turning the tag in a sort of a potion number nine that had proven to fetch some impossible to find info on such a quick inquiry without opening thousands of websites where I might find or might not find anything at all. And the most effective findings are with the tag "invisible" added to other things, be it email abbreviations and so on.

“The other must be his wife”, I thought, because Paul called
her with some pet name's asking for a bottle of wine, for a book, or an ash
tray.
“Is she your wife? “ I asked just in case.
Paul looked me in the eyes and said: “She is not my wife,
nor the mother of my daughter, she is my secretary. “
The secretary I sensed didn’t like me much.
She didn’t call Jaisini by his name, Paul, but she instead
addressed him as
mister Jaisini. She seemed obsequious and perhaps didn’t
like me for my unrestrained manner and direct questions. She said to Paul: “You
should not waste your time on this interview. You need to return to your work.
“
Paul said: “It will be few minutes." and spent a few hours
with me. A self-ruling man.
Paul didn’t drink any wine but he behaved at times
extravagantly, showing the
outlines of the silhouettes in his paintings and explaining
what was happening in the pictures.
Paul said that the point of his art being hidden from the
public is an
intrigue that engages press in constant attempts to uncover
the ‘truth’ behind it all. Nevertheless it is very disappointing, that people
don’t care about real art, as they do about private affairs.
We went upstairs and in a spacious hall I saw a large painting. I didn’t hide my
awe.
“Wow! Where did you get such a big piece of canvas? The art
stores don’t sell
this linen in such sizes. “
“It is stitched together from pieces," answered Paul.
“How did you reach the upper parts of the painting"
"I climbed the riser. Do you see the nude black man up
there, tangled with a
serpent?"
"It reminds me of Laocoön. Is it
intentional?"
"No, he is a symbol of physical grace without
intellect. Do you see a group of
female bodies intertwined in a threesome?"
"No, I don’t see it. Where is the threesome?"
"To the left, look there."
"I look there."
"There the three figures, here is one, here is another
one and the third one."
"Third is not a female figure, it’s some animal."
"It’s a female, but there is an animal, a bit higher
up. The clown in the center
tears his mouth in a bloody smile, carrying out his role of
a fool, laughing when
he wants to cry."
"Is that a monkey?"
"You got it, she is another symbol of the fate, she stopped hitting the
tom-tom,
her direct purpose in circus. When she stopped to play and
started to think, she
realized that her life is pitiful and she wants to kill
herself. It’s a second
symbol
of the same meaning."
"Tell me about that threesome again."
"Well, they show the natural grace, as three graces
would, the sensual concept of
procreation."
"This picture must be a depiction of a circus
performance, I suppose. Is it ?
Why it is so dynamic?"
"It is a circus performance but is the personal trial
of human character. The ball construction is an object: - Paulsen’s ball, it is
also a title of the painting."
"This ball creates some weight and it seems to move the
composition with it’s
size and position and it seems to be on a verge of rolling
down."
"You’re right! I also sense this immediate impulse to
prevent the clown to fall
off that ball.
We went to other paintings, whole series of paintings.

When I gathered all my sensations about the art that
surrounded me, it was time to leave. Paul
Jaisini escorted me to the door. I shook his hand saying:
"You are an interesting man!"
"I am not a man..."
(the last sentence was a good ending)
Have to type as I read PDF file that can’t be copied
I am using magnifying glass to be able to
read a a PDF file of very low quality. My eyes are hurting. What I have found
is something that is just not available… I must say on the search for anything
tagged “invisible” I find some pretty amazing stuff I would never know about (later
on that) Now I am sitting in my office instead of having night out. It really
is an impossible task to just discern the text. I filled up a spray bottle with
cold water to spray my face to frequently refresh my eyes, as they get tired
from the magnifying glass. It’s totally worth it, the thrill of discovery is my
ultimate high.

The attached file with original text before
translation can be used in all related your project on Paul Jaisini.
All my corrections are in () and sometimes
they replace the words nearby, other times they get inserted or have comments
as well. It should be clear. Angela, you had some trouble with colloquialisms,
unclear constructions and misplaced verb tenses. You switched among various
forms of the past with irregularity. I’ve brushed it up. It makes a good
narrative, though. Very interesting :)

Subject Any suggestions
My first meeting with Paul Jaisini in Rome
(was it your first meeting with him, or just
first time in Rome… unclear construction)
Paul Jaisini’s appearance at the exhibition
of his art made a lot of noise in 1995 in Rome.
(caused a lot of noise, a lot of excitement,
or was it just a noisy appearance?)
After newspapers published the (a)
photograph of Paul Jaisini in the empty gallery, I read the article and
realized how lucky I was to be in Rome. Nobody saw Paul Jaisini’s paintings.
Yes, nobody… This what happened next. I called him once, then (a) second
time. (,b)But Paul didn’t return my calls. Unfortunately I was not able to stay
on guards (stand guard is the appropriate colloquialism) to catch him by the
art gallery being (as I was) preoccupied with my (own) business. So I decided
that I have (needed, not have) to find a way to see Paul Jaisini’s (hidden)
paintings if he hides them. Such extravagance has (had) to be stopped.
I decided to offer him (no him here) to
write a testament about (to) the existence of his art (, which would
necessarily lead to him revealing it to me.) which will rise the necessity to
see it.
I heard about Paul Jaisini before (that
time) because he is quite a (reverse the a and quite) well-known contemporary
artist. When I set up the appointment to meet (him) I easily found his cozy
two- story town-house surrounded by (an) antique iron fence.
When I called (on) the intercom it took a
while to explain who I was and why (I had come) did I come.
Paul meet me at the gate. He looked younger
than I (had) expected. Dressed casually.
As a host he cordially offered me to dine.
While we were entering (entered) the hall I had an urge to ask him, (“I) is it
(this) a museum (?), trying to brake (break) anything, (no comma… as we passed)
passing by sculptures, paintings, ceramic pieces (ceramics… drop the p word)
and a lot of (other pieces of) art which I (had never seen before. drop rest of
the sentence) was not able…
Gosh, I can feel how B. Woodward was
feeling… WILL SHE REALLY SEE THE PAINTINGS by PAUL JAISINI?????? my eyes are
punishing me for this thrill. I need to stop looking into the magnifier when I
am now writing a comment without looking into unreadable copy.
Just waiting to get the courage to continue…
my eyes need rest, I made myself some coffee with soy milk. But it surely means
I want to prolong the suspense. I have no idea what is written in that text I
located only god knows where or how.
I think that a gamer guru would understand
me after he/she played hardest strategic games for a very long time and turned
into a savvy thrill seeker.
