Holland!
I am just finishing up My art residency in Nijmegen, Netherlands. The book I worked on all week is being printed as I type.
Tomorrow morning I'm off to Amsterdam for several days of kinky funtime!
But first, Edward Ka-spel from the Legendary Pink Dots (a favorite band of mine) will be playing in this very place tonight! Imagine the serendipity!
I've been living here at Extrapool just long enough to feel like family. Their hospitality is unmatched! The shower is clean and always hot, and the mattresses are firm and comfy, and the kitchen is beautiful and well stocked with vegetarian delights. The walls are covered in original wallpaper, printed here, and created by the people who live and visit here.
Next door is a squat run by anarchists. In case you didn't know squatting in Netherlands is quite sophisticated. You can move into an abandoned building, fix it up, and then become the legal tenants via an alternative housing organization. SO when I say squat, I mean super fantastic beautifully modernly renovated space (using plentiful government funds) designed and maintained with loving care. They are even opening a nice little vegan cafe.
It's nice to have a week to just hang out and be an artist. I've been so business running Holy Mountain I've neglected that part of Myself a bit too much lately.
Enough for now. Hope to see you when I return to Chicago. I will be recharged and in the mood for play!
kisses and smacks,
MZ
