2nd week!

I am now into my second week in Antwerp.. sorry I have not been updating this as much as I should.. there is just so much to see here! Everything is going really great.. I love my studio space, it is amazing not having to clean up and pack up my work every night..just being able to come back the next morning and pick up where I left off..

I am working on several new pieces.. the only thing that I am really missing about the states right now is home depot, finding wood here is not the easiest thing I have ever done..but everything is working out in that area now. I went to the new exhibitions showing in the galleries here, the big opening night was thursday. It was really great to get out to some more galleries.. and they are only about 5 blocks from my apartment! I also made it to the contemporary art museum.. There were a lot of video and photo pieces. Some sculpture, but not any paintings.. The galleries had every kind of work imaginable.. Joris had his opening Thursday as well and I made it to that. You can definitely see the historical background in the work here.. it is very different from what I have been seeing going on in New York and at Art Basel. 

I really like the students that I am in classes with, they are trying their best with english for me, so that is hospitable of them. There is a turkish tea place that I go to by campus pretty much every day... awesome tea.. I am going to go to the french cafe some time this week bradley..so no worries, I will try not to play favorites yet.. I have not been lost in almost a week and I take the tram to campus everyday... I am figuring everything out okay, so don't worry. Humm.. okay, it is really hard to talk about yourself this much, so that is all for now.. I will put some pictures up to help satisfy any lingering wonderings..
