Working in Dordrecht
So no posts for a little while. Sorry.
Anywho, I'm here in Dordrecht, south of Rotterdam, working on the residency. The first thing that I've come to realize here is that I really don't need every hours of every day to finish work. I've become so used to working around various things that to have all day, every day to work seems almost silly. I thought yesterday that maybe I have trained myself to work quickly (and perhaps carelessly) in order to get work and Produce Work. This would definitely be something left over from grad school, so maybe I'm still in transition of moving from quantity of work to quality, I mean, I don't need anymore piles of work to eventually throw out.
So, I've been able to get out and see some interesting cities around here, though I'm tiring of half-assed museums. The De Pont Museum in Tilburg was the one exception, generally quality work and an interesting city too. I will post some of the pictures from here and elsewhere when I get consistant computer access.
The work itself has gone well, I have been working on paintings and drawings on paper, 75 cm high and 1 to 3 meters in length, using the imagery of piles and collections, and mixing to the two along with other things. These will be edited and displayed as one long work in the gallery in Berlin, and reworked into new projects later in the states.
More soon.
