Mauro's best impression.
Georgie's best take.
noteworthy signature that is a piece of art in itself.
under each is written "made by slaves for free people"
photograph I've seen more than once here and happen to really like
this piece was interesting- it was made with small slats of wood- almost appears as if it is woven
all tiny army guys.
Recently went to ArteBA (http://arteba.com/) which was an outstanding five day contemporary art fair that is held annually here in Bs As. It stretched about three blocks under one gigantic building and is said to be the largest art fair in South America attracting some of the best Latin American artists as well as a wide variety of emerging young talent. Pretty much every medium imaginable was represented and there seemed to be a lot of art being sold. My friend, Jorge "Georgie," who I met in Floripa, was in town on his way to Bolivia and so he came along with his friend Mauro. We all kept saying we were ready to go, but ended up staying for about five hours since leaving without attempting to see it all proved difficult. I felt pretty inspired, overwhelmed and in serious need of some paints, wood, a sewing machine and space afterwards.
