Quote of the day

The ultimate disappointment? When the illusion that one is free of illusion reveals itself as such. (The most oppressive manoeuvre of vanity: making oneself out to be more stupid and bad than one would like to be in order to indulge the vanity of not being vain. Fails miserably.)

[...]

One should begin at long last to speak out against oneself! One should begin!! One!! (For a long time now I have, in quiet hours, been spitting on my own head ... Oh, I don't give a damn about ... Yes, about what? ...)

- Dr Walter Serner

The opening

I even sold six works. I've updated my website with some proper installation shots. We forgot to take any photos during the opening until just before those who hadn't left to make the return trip went for dinner, but here are some of what we did get:
