Hey guys, I’m still working, lately I’ve been very busy, doing lots of things, different projects, all of them interesting, challenging, and fun. Because, in the end life is about that: having fun, don’t you think? There are some days that are just like these for me, full of deadlines, but I consider myself a multi-task person, I mean, I can be doing several things at the same time, and I am ok. I am the kind of person who becomes more creative when I am under pressure. Anyway, I am excited about tomorrow, which is Lenguas 10th anniversary, because it is the same when you are planning a party: you expect that everything comes fine, and I am sure that it will.

Talking about a different thing let me tell you that last Tuesday, when we went to the art gallery La Casa Tomada I actually had a lot of fun, and honestly I thought that the kind of reactions you would have would be kind of negative. But, sursprisingly for everybody it turned out to be a cool experience, and I could notice it in your faces and in the comments you made. I appreciate you were there because I believe that art is probably one of the best thing humanity owns. Think about it, what would happen if we delete from the history of the humanity all the art what do we have left? Nothing but wars, anger, death.

Ok, here’s today’s topic: Let’s imagine that you have enough money to buy one art piece to decorate your living room which one would you buy? Would you buy a painting? a drawing? a picture? an sculpture? a poem? Remember that money is not an issue for you. So, please in your comments mention:

1. Which art piece(s) did you enjoy watching at La Casa Tomada?
2. Which art piece(s) did you enjoy watching at the University gallery?
3. What do you think about art or artists?

I understand that also some of you guys didn’t go to the art gallery, that is fine, but you can still comment about your favorite artist or piece of art.

Meanwhile, here’s one of my favorite artists: Wassily Kandinsky, and my favorite painting of his is this. So if I had a lot of money I’d buy this painting to decorate my living room because this painting to me represents the whole world, its beauty, it chaos, and its simplicity at the same time. Ok, gotta go to bed, it’s 1:00 am and tomorrow it’s going to be a though day. See ya’ around!

P.s.: Here are the pictures that Beth took last Monday. Enjoy them, and also post the one you took at the gallery, please.
