Ein Kanadischer auf fremdem Boden




Just as the weather in Montreal was finally starting to transition into real Spring (not the freezing, raining, damp and cloudy months that follow Winter in Quebec), I got flown to Germany to work in this year's ARENA Fest in Erlangen. I'm not complaining, as Springtime in the South of Germany is possibly one of the best places to be. I would gladly trade my bottle of Raftman and my cone of Bilboquet for a stein of Kitzmann and a ... stick of meat.

After working in Germany last year, I vowed to try and not drink beer every night. However, it has been 3 days in Bavaria so far, and I have broken this vow nightly.

For the duration of the ARENA festival, I will be constructing 9 installations around the city of Erlangen. I don't want to give too much away, but I am very much inspired by the utterly sublime work of the great Canadian artist David Hoffos.

I will be updating this NEWS section of the website regularly with photos and other documentation of the festival and my work, so check back regularly.
