This weekend was Bushwick Open Studios, which is when artists in Bushwick open up their apartments and art studios to the public to come in and see their work. It's a really fun/crazy/cool idea because Bushwick is such a barren-looking neighborhood but you know that there's a lot of creativity going on behind closed doors. People seemed to have come from all over to wander around the Morgan/Jefferson/Dekalb subway stops. Yesterday Rothy, Yotam, their friend from LA Neil, and I went into an apartment on Knickerbocker and played some video games and a board game (I'm just as bad at video games as ever), saw lots of paintings in a man's kitchen and bedroom on Troutman, and saw sculptures made from wigs by an artist/recruiter I know on Thames. We overheard a girl liken the experience to Halloween and it seemed kind of fitting. We've talked about it for two years now, but hopefully next year we'll actually participate and show stuff?
And then we went to Williamsburg to have Korean food for dinner and Wiliamsburg was deserted for once because everyone was at BOS.
