buenos aires comes by its name honestly
a charming, breezy, melange of architecture and trees
covered in graffiti!
it is legal there
woot woot! i had a blast
what should not be legal are the portions of beef they serve. EVERYWHERE!
(tasty though!)
of particular note was the collection of contemporary latin american art at MALBA
political, vibrant, intriguing, humourous, alive. good stuff.
the antiques in san telmo were another joy
a year could be spent sorting through them. fun.
porteños are a friendly big-city bunch if you engage them a little
black and yellow taxis dot the city like confetti
often, a certain type of argentine gentleman was at the wheel, willing to impart some interesting insight
a toast of fernet branca to my lovely time spent in BA! salud!
muchas gracias argentina!
hasta la próxima!

it seems the ‘school age’ walking stick is stuck at the border
the stick made it to L’aéroport international Montréal-Trudeau
and made friends with airport staff!!
and where was it off to you wonder?
no where fast!
i am going to put my money on ‘trouble at security’
“what do you mean ? this stick a threat? can you not see the art in action?!?”
this fine airport staff informs me that the stick is laid up in the airport’s lost & found!
i am all at once delighted and distraught
this is the main airport that sets me free on the world
a place i am fond of, filled with memories (…where were you when you heard Michael Jackson was dead? i was at the montreal airport)
AND just imagine all of the amazing other contents of a montreal airport lost & found!
i made a plea for the stick to be set free
it is on a great journey
it is meant to wander
only time and the interest of strangers will tell
my thanks to my collaborators at the airport
you are part of the art
travel well ‘school age’ stick
…try the bus.

one week exactly until ottawa’s second nuit blanche
excited. happy
a touch nervous
but mostly curious
my ‘crowd box’ project will be in the byward market zone at Social
i was delightfully reminded of last year’s nuit blanche ‘walk with me’ walking stick project with the arrival of a message from an eleven year old boy named Félix this week. he found the ‘school age’ stick in a library. he wanted to know if he could send the stick abroad. it had been a while since i had heard from one of the sticks. what fun! it made me happy.
…and i take that as a good omen for this year’s project
6:21pm til 4:22am next saturday the 21st
come out
be a part of the art
ALL of the art
the streets will be filled
if you cannot come then send me a tweet @heARTbeatgalART
tell your friends
tell strangers
help me connect with as many people as possible
woot! woot!
strange experiments in creative collaboration
good fun

spent some time wandering la habana last week
withered propaganda stands firm
fewer are the outbursts of graffiti
viva la cuba libre!
…now off for a dose of nyc
