Exhibalibur!

Long time no sign of life. Truth is that my summer job has been pretty much eating all my free time and energy, it's as simple as that. I'll have plenty of time to catch up with things later, now I'm just doing a quick update about my upcoming exhibition here in Finland (the second one this summer, actually, I've been meaning to post pics from the first one. . .). 

Anyway, you're welcome to pop in if you're interested, grand opening's tomorrow between 3 and 5 p.m. the exhibition will be going on until 9th September. The invitation above should give you all necessary information.

Still 15 days of work to go, and then I'm free (and rich, ´cept Roomie will recieve a lot of my hard earned cash as she's been paying the rent during summer. Then there's the tuition fees. . . It'll be a really quick money-bath, it seems.)

Minimal

Our gardener isn't a fictional being after all! When I got home today both the front and the back lawn had been mowed! It somehow makes me so happy! Lawnmower is a nice word. When I was little, I always read lawnmover, and didn't even realize what it was until I learned what a lawn was. I just thought it was something you moved lawns, whatever they were, around with. It is funny how you somethimes misread and misinterpret words. Every now and then I mishear words in songs, and then when I for some reason or another look up the lyrics, or happen to realize what the misheard word really is, I get quite surprised, because sometimes it can change the meaning of the whole song.

My gaming fingers are starting to itch. I've promised myself that after I've finished my essay I'm allowed to start playing something big and epic. My goal is to finish tomorrow. I have 900 words now, a couple hundred of which are to be the so called final version of the text. The rest is random, unstructured facts. Unprocessed raw matter. Tomorrow I will process this matter into a finished, academic product á la Essay on Minimalism, complete with an introduction and a conclusion. Actually it's a lot easier than just Minimalism. It's about how minimal artworks were considered, no, theorized as objects in the 1960s. It's quite narrowed down, actually.

And that's good.
