Vienna, Out on the Town
After several days of staying mostly inside, painting and having meetings about Aces of Perception, ( our new “portals” project for Vienna), we finally got out of the house and took a good walk around the city. It’s night and raining. We grab our umbrellas and step outside into the crisp, wet air. The streets, replete […]
Aces of Perception, Vienna
I am excited to be in Vienna and to be working on our next project, The Aces of Percepion, an evolution of The 13 Portals project, a public art experience that Perola Bonfanti and I brought to the streets of New York City last year. Vienna has so much depth, it’s like a rich chocolate million-layer cake. […]
Palmenhaus, Vienna
It’s my third day in Vienna this time around and today Perola and I went to Palmenhaus restaurant to meet with some lawyers. I ordered the sea bass (a delight) and we discussed the qualifications we must meet in order to install our portals on the streets of the city for The Aces of Perception. The […]

Rio de Janeiro, Beach Culture
We go to Leme, because it is one of the cleanest beaches in Rio. The famous Copacabana is overcrowded as are many others in Rio. Leme is populated, but is cleaner than most of the other beaches. It’s a gorgeous day. We arrive, take off our Havanas (quintessential Brazilian flip flops) and find a little […]

We drive for two hours past endless palm trees, magnificent mountains, small Brazilian towns and epic views […]

Up up in the air again. I write you from the sky, somewhere in between NYC and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I am off to meet up with my Brazilian friend and collaborator, the talented Perola Bonfanti so we can scheme our next project, “The Aces of Perception.” A remix of The 13 Portals project, The […]
