going to the greek islands



On time thank god




Ran out of gas on the way to airport
"He is too much sometime" I miss not being on this trip with him and the friends.
The photos will have to do.

Let Me travel with U

This is the beginning of my vicarious travels. Stuck in NYC which is not too bad but I long for the smell of clean airport.

Just join Twitter

Just join Twitter to follow my friend numman to the Greek island and travel with him virtually. I think this will be fun made him join as well and start the travel log the moment he left home. Missing not being there physically. "Good traveling partner."

On the Road to Sumter, South Carolina’s 2005

Leaving on Saturday Sep 24, 2005 early morning on Delta Air Lines flight 5133 to South Carolina to install a new piece. I wanted to record the experience and bring you all along. Get ready for day to day posting of the festivities and installation process. “keep an eye out for Rita”… Juana

What: Sumter, South Carolina’s Accessibility 2005
TRANSPLANTED - Latino Artists in the USA

· When: Friday, September 30 through Saturday, October 29, 2005

· Where: Individual exhibits will be located at venues throughout the Sumter community including; USC Sumter campus, Sumter’s historic Memorial Park and Sumter’s revitalized downtown area.

· Cost: The month-long exhibition and associated events are all free to the public.


· Highlights: Six artists, Alvarado-Juarez, Arturo Lindsay, Rafael Perea de la Cabad, Juana Valdes, Nora Valdez and Patricia Villalobos Echeverría, from Latin American countries, living in the United States, have been selected by Guest Curator Marcelo Novo to create site-specific installations for the seventh annual installation art exhibit in Sumter, SC. Accessibility 2005: TRANSPLANTED - Latino Artists in the USA will take place Sept. 30 to Oct. 31, 2005 with an opening on Sept. 30 from 6-9pm. The event features music, dance and receptions at each site.


"Cobwebs on my mind' by Artist Juana Valdes. I will be working on a new piece of the cobwebs.


Curator Marcelo Novo of Columbia, SC (originally from Argentina) selected artists who will present unique installations reflecting a broad range of media, concepts and approaches. Novo’s theme for the exhibition reflects the increasingly growing Latino population in South Carolina (and the rest of the country). Given the characteristics of site-specific installation art, artists will come to Sumter to create their works.

“The installations will be created not only in terms of the selected sites, but within the context of Sumter’s culture and history” Novo says. He hopes Accessibility 2005 will foster the integration of the state’s Latin American population into the cultural landscape of the community and will promote a better understanding between cultures.
