So i’ve packed, and I’m enroute to Scheidam. There’s no production happening at Ruimte in Beweging over the weekend, so I’m taking a 2 day break in Amsterdam.
The life of an artist means that even a holiday brings with it work interests – that’s a good thing though I think. Uitmarkt is on in Amsterdam this weekend (http://www.amsterdamsuitburo.nl/uitmarkt/english) – that’s the cultural opening season and today i’ve caught some open air concerts. Also saw this exhibition on the way round the city: http://www.artpocalypsecollective.com/ Maaike Ann Stevens drawings, reliefs and sculptures – her use of greyboard as a drawing/construction material made me think about how I could use that with may recent ‘Tearing Space Apart Drawings’ (http://claireweetman.blogspot.com/2011/07/tabloid-…).
Tomorrow will hopefull bring a bit more Uitmarkt, and some gallery visiting. I’ve also been reading some news items on the Invisible City website about some of the artists already working there. I’m looking forward to meeting them all on Monday and getting to work: http://shadowingcities.com/2011/08/artists-of-invi…
