Manhattan, New York~

Alaska was another world. Where survival seems to have been the driving force for ages. Dog sleds still have their place, hunting, fishing, furs, the great outdoors. I loved it. The people are kind and friendly.

Now I am headed back to Brazil. On my way to Rio I got to take an extended layover in New York and check out the Fountain Art Fair.

Fountain Art fair, now in its eighth year is filled with accessible, alternative art. It fills out the enormous Armory building on Lexington Ave and 25th st. in Manhattan with white walled booths. The vibe is DYI and down to earth. Most of the artists are there in person and available to chat about their work.

Tomorrow I arrive in Brazil to continue working on the next “Portals” project for Vienna, Austria with my partner Perola Bonfanti. The project will debut in the Museumquartier of Vienna this September.

More soon~
