東京!

July 7, 2008

I am in Tokyo. It is amazing. This class I am taking is ridiculous, we are doing so many different things a day, that I am having a really hard time taking it all in. We wake up around 8 or 9, go out into Tokyo, walk around looking at different districts, and tourist attractions all day long, and then get back to the hotel between 9 and 11 each night. Then I try to spend time thinking about my art project, and writing in my journal. But I usually end up falling asleep immediately.

Since everyone I know wants a detailed description of my trip, I am going to attempt to blog about it in my little bit of free time. An entry per day seems decent, just because there is so much going on. (I will try to catch up, but I doubt it will happen.)

I am taking lots of pictures, and video. And I will be in some sort of art show sometime in August.

I am back from Europe, and it was hella awesome. I fully intend to write more about my adventures at some point, but at the moment, I should be sleeping… Instead, I am going to give you a link to a fantastic artist I saw at the Mudam in Luxembourg. His name is Miguel Branco, and he makes some crazy shit. It’s all itty-bitty, and his sculptures are incredibly freaky lookin’. Some of them looked like the could come alive.

There were things like headless horses, and extremely skinny and elongated dogs. The creepiest was this really pretty bird thing with a human head. You could see into it’s mouth, and it looked bloody and sharp. Mind you it was about 5 inches tall, but it still kind of gave me the willies.

Have a look at some poor images: Here.
