Greetings From Istanbul
All is going well for me here, I have decided to
stay for several more years, to develop some
longer-term things, instead of the 4 and 5 month
projects I had been doing in the past. I've found
a great 'plant man' at the neighborhood Sunday
market and have been coming home each week with
more greenery to add to my apartment. (for me a
sure sign of 'settling') I continue my work with
the Res Artis webpage...a project I continue to
enjoy!
As my major new project:
I have initiated Caravansarai, a meeting point and project space in Istanbul.
It is the very beginning : www.caravansarai.info
I'm now trying to find project funding,
partnerships and ongoing ways to cover the basic
costs.
Our first large event, ENTER Caravansari, will be
at the end of June. (information below)
I look forward to hearing your suggestions and feedback.
Please pass this information on to your contacts
or any one else who might find it interesting.
