Art event 2010 in Assen / Assen 的艺术博览会 2010
Once a friend said that an artist’s work was to show or describe his dreams with his paintings. People who saw and liked the dreams would buy these dreams back and taste them slowly. Then by this way the artist could get the materials to sustain his life so that he could continue his dreams… ha ha!
In mid November each year, there were always two different art fairs in Assen, the capital city of Drenthe in center of Netherlands. Artists and galleries from Netherlands, as well as from Germany and Belgium nearby would participate in this event.
Elisbet, one of the organizers for the fairs who had bought my works before was a familiar colleague of mine. In the years before, I received twice the invitations for the fairs, but regret I was happened to be away in Lisbon by then. I was told that the artists who had participated in the fairs had all gained a lot (which meant they had some works sold). In spring of 2010, once again I received an invitation. This time I didn’t wish to miss it anymore, because I’d like to gain something too.
During the days of Dec.13rd and 14th, there were a lot of visitors in the fairs and I was rather busy. But indeed I did gain something, which meant I had not worked for nothing
