Today was the opening of the Faculty Show of our university for the Fine Arts Department. The gallery was quite strange; sponsored by an electronics store, it was above the refrigerator showroom. Apparently the store owner is an art lover. As in many small cities everywhere, this town can’t really support art galleries, which pop up and then die quick deaths. Note the blue sky ceiling…
I was gratified to see that my work fit right in with that of the Turkish artists. Only one other foreigner, a glass teacher from Estonia. It was my first night out in Turkey without kids, and I was quite relieved not to have to worry about watching them. It’s impossible to be taken seriously if someone is putting his little hand up your skirt.
Nice spread, huh? Hard alcohol, too.
