well i just lost my last blog post because of bad hotel internet but hey...here i go then! re-type!


well its the seocnd day here in amsterdam (research project) and i've had a massive packed day.

i had no interviews shedualed for today so i took today off to go to a few museums, went to the cobra museum, the Stadelich (spelling?) and i went to a christies auction house.

the cobra museum was amazing, it had modern art from the 50's onwards, painting mostly but it had this awesome contemporary exhibition upstairs, very political and up to date, with alot of graffiti art and intervention work.

im recording my thoughts on cassette tape at the ends of each day so i won't go into much detail here,

the christies auction house was weird because i was really underdress and the staff looked very evily at me , but it was good to see classical type painting up that close and to read the prcies that were going for them, the most expesnisve one was a cool half a mil!

then the stadelich which was relocated with a temporary exhibition was good, there was a solo exhibition of paul chans work which was all projection stuff, it was called something like lights and sketches, i had to rush it because it was near to closing.
there was a good mapping the city exhibition which i thjought jenni savage would have liked! it was good because i saw a valie export video of touch and tap cinema. and discovere da few new artists to look at

there were a few gilbert and georges, a bill viola and a few bruce neuman projections but all the work was really timebasedy so it was awesome , and a really good cup of tea in the cafe!

it then rained real bad and i got caught up in the rain in the red light district. a man tried to get me and mum to go into a sex show to get out of the rain but eh NO!

right well this wasn't the whole post but im worried it won't post so i'll re-jij this when i get back because i managed to print the original blog! k seeya bye!
