I went to the Robert Bouwen opening at the (s)anders gallery today with a couple of girls from my classes... The show was called "bloody ex". I liked some of the aspects of his work, I liked the hard black line that he put outlining some of the figures, it extended from the black borders that come further into the picture plane off of the canvas edge. But overall, it seemed a bit illustrative and just showing off technical skill just because he has it... But the opening was fun. We went to get coffee after and then to dinner. We also saw a man on a uni-cycle juggling flaming torches... that was unexpected.. Other than the fact that I didn't actually want him to get hurt, I thought that he was asking for it a bit by being 10 feet in the air on a uni-cycle and asking this pedestrian to throw flaming torches at him! He was pretty funny though. This thursday is the main opening for the galleries here in Antwerp, so we will all go around to those together. Tomorrow is my first day at the studio. I am looking forward to that.. I rode on a tram today, I think I ended up taking one that took me further away from my apartment, but that is okay, I eventually found my way back... I am looking forward to tomorrow... talk to you soon...
