Mason states that she constructed the campsite "to act as a metaphor for both escapism and the melancholy of longing." Very personal in nature, LET'S PLAN OUR ESCAPE explores the themes of nostalgia, nature and escapism and is largely inspired by Mason's childhood experiences including camping and playing with her sister, pretending to be other people. This is combined with a more contemporary desire to reflect and escape.

Well, for those of you I have not already run into, and/or those who have not already heard, I am back from my two month stay in Berlin. It was an amazing experience and I could easily fall in love with that city. I did not expect that in a brief two months abroad that I would have been affected as much as I feel I have. I lived with a great bunch of girls at the artist residency from all over the globe. Two from New York, and one each from Hong Kong, Canada, Spain, Uruguay, South Africa, Australia and Ireland. All talented and each in their own way added greatly to my experience. Perhaps at a later date I will write more on my time there but I am still digesting all my thoughts and trying to get acclimated to being back. I have been home now for two weeks and have not blogged in two months but I am slowly working myself back into the daily scene here in Indy. Please be patient.
Over the course of the next week I will be doing some much over due redesign and updating of On The Cusp. We will be working to update its look and revamping all the links, tweaking a few options and possibly adding some new features. I know I have several out dated links in place and a handful of new links that have yet to be put on the site. If you would like to suggest a possible link to be added to our local listings, please drop me a line. Some of you may have done so in the past few months but I must admit that my inbox had gotten out of control while I was away and some messages may have been lost in the shuffle. I hope to return to my full on blog posting once I get these updates finished and get settled in. Job hunting you know, has to be a priority. If anyone has any leads, drop me a line. ^^
Well, for now that is all I have for you. Nothing but this brief notice that I am back and will be blogging again soon. I want to give a very sincere shout out and thank you to all of those who helped out here on On The Cusp and those who contributed posts while I was gone. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! It is very much appreciated and I quite enjoyed catching up on many of the posts. I must admit though that two month vacation from blogging for the first time since December of 2005 was quite enjoyable. But, no worries, I have some high hopes and aspirations for the blog for 2010 and I hope several of those who have helped contribute in the past two months will be willing to continue doing so even though I am back. The more content the better. Hope to see you all out there in the galleries, museums and the bars soon. Until then...
NOTE: I am aware of the current formatting problems, I hope to have these fixed shortly.

There's a really interesting article in New York Times about a sort of performance art that is equally about human interaction. I thought it would be a good conversation starter ... especially when you consider the artists' quote that ends the story:
“For the last two or three hundred years in human society, we have been very focused on the earth. We have been transforming the materials of the earth, and the museum has developed also over the last two or three hundred years as a temple of objects made from the earth. I’m the guy who comes in and says: ‘I’m bored with that. I don’t think it’s that interesting, and it’s not sustainable.’ Inside this temple of objects, I refocus attention to human relations” -- Tino Sehgal.
