Busy friday

Last Friday I had a very busy day. It started off with the final seminar of the semester which means I will have even more time to concentrate on my degree show now. I had to read into a text/website about the show TV Party which was done on public acces cable tv in Brooklyn during the 70's. I was amazed seeing this because the idea kind of felt like the way I lived with my friends in Berkeley (except for the drugs) during my exchange in the States. It's basicaly an out of control art party being broadcasted live. In Berkeley we used to jus drink and make stuff after we got home from college which I think is what making art should be like. It was an amazing time and seeining this stuff made me think about that time again and realise how much I miss those days.

After that I went to a lecture from Krijn de Koning. He is from the Netherlands (despite the fact that he keeps refering to it as Holland :p). and comes from an architectual background. I thought his work was very good but unfortunately the lecture felt a bit long since he was just talking about the same concept over and over.

Then I had to rush down to see Graham, the only tutor I havn't officially assigned to me as a tutor during my time here at ECA. I had a short talk with him earlier this week and he told me it was possible to sign up for a talk on this friday and so I did. I am very happy that I did because I had a great talk with him about all sorts of stuff. We talked about what interestst me in the people who have all these classic cars and the differences between the people who just polish their cars and make them look as new and never drive them. And offcourse the people who do drive their classic cars and how they become a part of the family (as they did all those years ago).

As if the day wasn't long enough yet there was also a Co2 projectspace opening from some of the 1st year students and I even met up with some people from the glass department. It is always nice to talk to them since they are from a different department/medium it is very interesting to hear their oppinion on things.

I'm going to leave it with this but I would like to show you this video which is a trailer for a documentary about the TV Party (if you read this by e-mail you should click on the top link so it directs you to my blog, since the video doesn't show up in e-mails).
