FAbRICA

In Portugal is almost impossible to make a living only from producing art, but some utopists keep figthing against the stream. One fine example was the FAbRICA exihbition organized by some good friends from FBAUL. They rented an old warehouse at Bairro Alto and joined in one exihbition a series of artistic works: painting, photography, installation, music, live performers and VJing. The show was running for 3 weekends and was featured in several cultural city guides. I gave them a hand by designing the catalogue and joined the party on the opening night... it was the perfect farewell to Lisbon!

Migrating south for the summer

Well, having seen frustrated the expectations about that spaceship, the return trip to Lisbon took its usual 11 hours (between leaving home in Helsinki and arriving home in Lisbon). This summer seemed quite long though since I was allowed to spend two whole months enjoying family and friends. The first half of it was dedicated to preparing my brother's wedding (I mean it took a whole month for me to find some fancy clothes and then another couple of days to design and make their mass book... my mom helped me with that one!). Yes, pictures will come. But now I'm just posting some photos from the holidays that followed, spent with parents and granny in Algarve: Quarteira and Sagres, sand, sun and sea...
