Zondag

Hell, i've got to get to bed earlier than this...this is crazy...while you all back home and further are just finishing dinner, it's 2:30 in the morning. yeesh.
anyway, what a wonderful day.
started with swedish pancakes with fresh vt. maple syrup...from the howe/ferro conglomeration.
mmmmso good. oh yeah and tart strawberries.
then spent the day walking and made my way to arti, the local artist collective where i saw this piece by an amazing Austrian artists...well it was amazing til dinner but here it is:

so that was pretty great.
then i went to hortus botanicus to see a piece by my friend Petra Groen.
interesting, provocative title.


"on the origin of species" by Petra Groen

also spent time in their butterfly house...some of my favorite insects...lepidopterans.
this one is bigger than my hand:



skipped over to de engelbewaarder for a few beers and jazz...had the beers...missed the jazz...had to get home.

then i returned for the climax of the day:
dinner for mirette and milan

14 of us eating a 4kilo salmon that durk cooked. amazing artists and thinkers...amazing converations. incredible food.
met this artist, academic: christine who's family has collected art for ages and who blew gebhard's piece out of the water: years ago she made a film in a similar manner only it was for the use of 35 projektors....and the subject matter was way more interesting given the presentation process: rain
unfortunately...the piece was never realized cause the venue fell through.

what a day though.
so much to think about...so many new people...good people...great people.
