I'm excited. My work is gonna be exhibited in the Art House of my home town. Quite surprised it worked out! They're organising an open call for the group show and I was asked to be one of the lecturers which means they get a work of mine for free. They'll get a slightly different version. of "Well Done", a much cheaper one. Hope it works out. The more people see it the happier I am. And I hope to meet some artists. It's opening on August 23rd so quite soon, but it

I've been in Basel for two week ends now, the first one I was sick. Today I went to the Migros Museum and the Kunsthaus with Nico. He's a bit on edge because he's preparing so much stuff. He's a bit scared that his work won't be good enough. I'm enjoying my time here, but need to keep reminding myself that stress is building up at home and that I shouldn't get too comfortable with just enjoying stuff here. We also went to the park today to relax. In the morning we had sex, but it wasn't great for me.

I'm supposed to be working on my resideney work right now, but i'm too tired. It's good that I don't have any deadlines. The only thing I need at the moment is a little bit of inspiration and the will to work. And I need to be able to see through my ideas. I'm a bit scared that it will turn out to be impossible. At least so far, my work doesn't have that much material relevance. It's all about ideas and discussions.. That's why I'm quite happy with the residency: I can spend more time on it than I'd normally be able
