argo art

The Argos residency was both very enjoyable and professionally very useful, suggesting to me new ways of thinking and also working. The developers of the residency Matt and Sara were very helpful responding to any artistic need I might have but also wonderfully giving the residents almost daily information about what was going on culturally in Athens. The residents were of various cultural professions offering a chance to learn about other techniques and professions.....they were all very congenial and we did many things together in the evenings. The fact that the housing and the studio were in two different neighborhoods separated by a 20 minute walk, partially thru a public garden, was a plus; to get to know a bit more of local Athens. The Archeological Museum is nearby and very worthwhile. Also worth going to are the more avant guard galleries in Piereaus and international theatre.
