on sunday i went with anna and a friend of her to artfarm, in the little village of drienovec, near kosice. the pictures are enough to see of special and particular this place is. and people who know my thing for "things" know how this is comfortable for me! this is a house for artists, very basically. it's a ten year project of a designer and a photographer who, together, conceived this wonderful place. it has indoors and outdoors spaces. this place has workshops on painting, recycling, and sculpture for artists. they can stay there for a week, the place has up to fourteen beds. sometimes they have as well workshops for non-artists. the incredible part was how they had so many many things, and all so organized that it didn't look untidy at all! all these could be used in the works! some ideas to recycle broken tools! they have as well a program for the roma children on the village. they made these walls all around the farm as well as some very good works of art. they went there voluntarily. it was like ten houses of your grandmother. in this farm there is as well the funniest museum of the pencil! yes, with that smell, ahh! and lastly, it was a real house where two people live. to very nice and friendly artists who gave me and anna a book just for being foreigners i think! i was really nice!
