Back to Europe

The "casa Velazquez" is a french institution in Madrid, putting up some artists and researchers in Madrid.
I meet there my friend Juliette, who is printmaker and live on the studio number 9.
(if you want to see her work it is here).

Arriving here after two month in Senegal give me a strange feeling : I feel like invited
on Sleeping beauty place, in a word where everything is calm, clean and tidy.
The shower works, there is paper on the toilets and a lawn on the garden, it is amazing.

 

Well, this is my first impression, then Juliette talks about a reality closer to "fame academy"
than to the wonderful word of Disney : here you can find fifteen artist, a castle, a swimming pool
and a lot of time to think too much and fight.
