an experience like no other

trust
I forgot for a minute to
trust
when you stay present and patient
and wait
things happen
magical things happen
when you
trust

My friend Zefrey from San Francisco arrived Sunday night.
He is an Artist and he is here doing a radio project with PS1 Gallery in New York
Before I left he told me about the Venice Bianelle and thus began my excitement
for the event where artist's from around the world gather
to show there work
to see and be seen
and to slather themseleves in the beauty that is Venice.
Pietro has been so wonderfully gracious and opened him home to the both of us.
Im "interning" as Zefrey's assistant in hopes of learning as much as I possibly can about, art, radio, and the creative process.
The question that has been consuming me lately is, what makes an artist an artist?


Last night we went
to the opening of Matthew Barney Joesph Beuys exibit at the Guggenhiem.
I don't think I like Matthew Barney. He is also know as being Bjork's partner. I really wanted to like it, but I just found it to be very egotistic and self centered and a bit gross to be perfectly honest.
Mounds of vasoline, machine parts, Barney dressed up like a freak walking slow through his garden ( that part just made me giggle)
Anyways it was an amazing experience and I am forever greatful that I was invited.
Gratitude is a big theme in my life. I can't belive the experiences I'm having, the beautiful people I'm getting to know, it all seems compleatly unreal at times. At this moment I am sipping a aqua frizzante aboard a floating vip lounge/radio station in the Venice Lagoon getting ready to go to an opening for a artist in San Marco.
Thank You for all of your prayers and love!! Ciao!!
