Click for more about this work. We were wrong. It was very well organized and they had been worried about our absence. It was due to Christophe that we were invited. He'd recommended us when a U.S. artist pulled out in May. To a page that focusses on the sculpture symposium and what we made there. |

Shots of the village to come. |

August 7th: We were woken at about 6 a.m. by the motor of the truck next to us in the street which the driver kept running until we were properly awake :) But it was about 10 a.m. by the time we were about to leave and I went into a shop (here many shops were a small room infront of a home with a few things on the shelf and this shop was like that) but they were thrown into total confusion when I tried to pay for some biscuits with a 100,000 lei note (about 3 Euros). At that moment, Dan (who later was one of the assistants who helped me make my sculpture) walked over and said the word "sculpture symposium". I said Maxim and he smiled and indicated that we should follow him in his car. |
 At the resturant where we ate breakfast at 10, lunch at about 4 p.m. and dinner at about 10 p.m. |
Left to Right: Leidi, Toroa, Bas and Dudu (our translator)
Leidi, Bas and Eva had arrived earlier that morning and so the first thing we heard was that our friends were already here! |
 |
Layout and more to come...
in the meantime, below are some images. |
 |
At Maxim Dumitras's studio behind the half-built museum. Here Tama and Eva worked on a castle out of clay. The wooden sculptures around are by Maxim. |

August 11th: Our fieldtrip to (Romanian) Moldavia photos by Christophe text and more to come...  |  |
|
August 12th: Breakfast in the studio  Photo: C. Doucet. Tama, Toroa, Maxim (seated), Corneliu Antim (the critic), and Toma (Mihai Tomsaneanu). | This was the day when the rain pelted down continuously -all day. We thought, ah mountain weather, but it turned out that this was unusual and for up to a week afterwards there was serious flooding in all the countries downhill from us. The worst hit were the areas along the Danube. So we got off lightly, with just getting wet or staying indoors for most of the day. So we had breakfast in the studio instead of in the outdoor resturant. |
|
August 13th: Tama...  | and Toroa in a folk dance hat |
| ... with the costumes of the town folkdance group. The hat are in the racks above the men's shirts and waistcoats.  |
