The visit in United States Of America was another great experiment from many points of view. Now I saw the land where all the movies from my childhood where made and the first step outside the JFK Airport in New York was a interesting experience. Thanks to Stefan Raduta, the promoter working under the name of Singe Valah, “Where Purgatory Ends” exhibition happened also in this epic center where all civilizations seems to be attracted to. The event was very well prepared, as Stefan prepared some very interesting installations for exposing the artworks in a very cool way and having on the stage in the middle of exhibition, great artists like Kevin Hufnagel (Dysrhythmia, Gorguts), NathanaĆ«l Larochette (Musk Ox), Daniel Menche, Mick Barr (Krallice). Before the exhibition was open, the legendary Tony Iommi visited the location for having a quick signing session for his book “Iron Man”. Surrounded by the artworks of “Where Purgatory Ends”, he met a group of selected fans, in a very special atmosphere.
If regarding Finland I can say things straight, regarding the New York moments I really need more time to process, as the level of information was quite heavy and I really consider that place something totally different than what I saw before. I want to thank these great artists that shared the stage in the middle of my exhibition, turning the atmosphere of “Where Purgatory Ends” into different dimensions and ways of perception. The huge thanks goes to Stefan Raduta, for making this thing possible and to an angel that I met there under the name Emily.
I wish I could say more…but I think the pictures are working better.
