Hamish has settled in well, learnt the lingo, made party, drunk some absinth, it seems like our cross-over work is done. The time has gone so fast but it's been very valuable and productive, and we've also made some great new friends which always seems like the most valuable thing.
We had a brilliant time at the PonyBar event on Saturday evening. Hamish showed some beautiful drawings he'd made the day before, Eleanor showed an older piece of work on VHS called 'untitled (sugar)', and I did a fairly lively presentation of my work which got a couple of laughs! It all seemed to go down very well.
There is a bit too much to write about in terms of a summing up, so I think I will leave that until we are home and have space to reflect. But something brief:
Things we did do:
1. Ate a traditional Bavarian breakfast - peeling the skins of sausages and drinking beer before midday is awesome
2. played the finest 70's electric sythesiser you have ever seen.
3. Eaten cake in a supermarket carpark because it took over an hour to find it despite it being 8 mins walk away.
4. Worked, rested and played in the deepest snow I've ever seen.
5. Sat down to pee for a month (it's the rule).
Things for next time:
1. The clockwork figures in Marienplatz.
2. The monastic brewery across the lake.
3. Postcards.
4. Replacing the plastic crow which I ended up selling for €15 to (apparently) the most important arts journalist in Munich.
5. Fishing.
Haha - now that's culture.
So, for me it's very important, to realise we're all in the same boot.
Cheese! Chairs! Smazi!
