Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Sorry it's a day late. Yesterday was pretty much studio as usual for us Americans in Croatia. Although when my Croatian friends saw me, they did greet me with "Happy Thanksgiving" and asked about how the holiday originated. We did make reservations at one of the few Chinese restaurants in Zagreb, for 15 guests, the four Americans, six Croatian, two Hong Kong, one Slovenian, one Slovakian, and one Czech. Since I couldn't be at home, this was certainly the best way to spend it, with very good friends from many different places.
It's incredible how fast my calendar is filling up these last few weeks I have in Zagreb, we are preparing for the show to open on Thursday, then I will have a piece in group show at the Student Center, I need to visit some lecture classes to gather recordings for one of my final pieces, go to the foundry that is casting my work at some point...the list seems endless. I am planning to shorten my stay in Zagreb so I will take the long way back to Munich via Poland to see Auschwitz, Krakow, and a friend in Opole. I still might plan a weekend trip to Mostar, Bosnia, as long as the weather stays somewhat mild. However, I may have to plan the trip before I leave, I found out today a piece of mine has been accepted in a group show opening on Dec 13 and closes on 16. I should be around to take down my work so I can bring it home. It's also easier to travel with only one lighter bag rather than all of my luggage.
Looking forward to a lazy kinda weekend, the extent of my work will be editing the video I shot this morning, and finding a digital photo lab to print out 5 x 7s from the Tkalciceva installation. No hockey this weekend, apparently there is some figure skating exhibition. Other than that, I will plan to hang out, and catch up on some reading, half way through Kafka on the Shore by Marukami, hopefully will finish that on Sunday.
