The Architect Stares Back

... or perhaps more like the slowly moving Hummer that crushed the rear bumper of my car yesterday (my brother was driving my car, although it's not his fault, it's the idiot driver talking on her cell phone who's to blame).

... or perhaps more like my rusted bike that will no longer pedal uphill due to the complete corrosion of it's 2nd gear, which cracked sometime last fall.

These are a search for the proper metaphor to describe the impending end of the academic year. It approaches, quickly yet slowly and painfully, and decisions must be made. Luckily some of them can get made for me by acceptance letters.

So, since I'm currently working on an 8 page paper, I decided that this blog was long overdue for a post about where I will (and will not) be this summer.

Early May- Ann Arbor, drawing class
May 21st- to Amsterdam via London
May 26th- to Berlin
May 29th- to Zurich (and all around Switzerland on a daily basis)
June 8th- to Lugano
June 11th- back to Zurich
June 15th- to Stuttgart?
June 22nd- to Florence or Rome
July 5th- to Paris
July 9th- to Fontainebleau
August 10th- to Southern France
August 16th- to Detroit via Paris and London

To summarize, I will not be in the US this summer.

May-June is for the TCAUP Switzerland Studio and will involve lots and lots of drawing and cheese and traveling and chocolate.

July-August is for the Ecoles d'Art Americaines de Fontainebleau which will involve lots and lots of drawing and thinking and listening. And maybe some reading at cafes.

I love summer.
