Day 17

Sunday, June 12, 2011

Today I slept in awhile. Everyone did their own thing and Lilly and I went around to different pavilions that we hadn't been to yet. We saw Macedonia, Georgia, Republic of San Marino, and Scotland (Karla Black). Some collatoral events we saw were, Le Festin De Chun-Te, which had some really interesting photographs, and Montebello megachromia, which was a little bland and basically was just pictures of paint textures on a light board or something that was lit from behind. Definetly the best thing I saw today was the Scotland exhibition and the Le Festin De Chun-Te event.

Canal outside of the Republic of San Marino pavilion. There was a rowing/kayak parade going on today!

As Lilly and I walked around, we ran into the rest of the group at the best little pizza place (in Venice, I think). It was the only place that had thick crust and pineapple. Oh it was good!

Working with the ephemeral. Paper, soap, dirt, etc. It smelled and looked so beautiful.



Lilly needed to get home and figure out her travel plans after the trip, so we split ways about mid-afternoon. I walked around by myself for a couple hours. I did a little shopping and conveniently stumbled upon some events and pavilions.

Since it is getting near the end of our trip and we have seen so many ways to approach art-making, I have been thinking about what I want to do when I get back home. I decided I definetly need to make an animation/video piece for my little forms. They have sat for awhile and once I go back to seeing them after a month I hope that will spark some ideas. Many people have told me when they look at my forms they feel like they need to start dancing, so I will make them dance. I also want to do some large paintings again. I mostly worked small throughout last semester and want to go big again. Maybe a self portrait?
