II Santos SurfArt photos

Hi folks.... first of all, sorry the lack of information... I was so crazy freaking out busy that I couldn´t stop working.... after all the stress and disappointment, the museum is up, and the art show it´s on... For the first 6 days of the festival we use a tent, to display some of the art.. it was the only way to do it at that point... on the 26th, the city gave us the OK to put the arts and boards on the museum... Theo Hetherington, Ciro Bicudo, Felipe Siebert, Maylin, Paula Marina and even Simon Withney helped so much and I´m so thankful for that... I need to share the curator deal with Theo... without him, the art show would not happen... he´s the man and a lovely and respectful dude... Jonathan and Jared Mattson, Yusuke Hanai arrived on the 22th, and it was super fun to have all this guys at my house... my wife was about to kill me (6 guys at my house), but after all, she´s was cool... hehehe... The Mattson 2 played at the tent on the 23th, and then kindly played again on the 25th, for the museum opening.... Yusuke made a live instalation on the tent and now it´s on the museum... I move to another apartment last friday and still don´t have internet connection... so only today I will have time to go and take some pictures for you guys (will post tomorrow)... These photos below are from the lovely lady Paula Marina... enjoy...
The art show will be up for some more weeks... We will have a better film festival in some weeks on the museum, due that the screening room, wasn´t ready until the last day... will post as soon as happen..... thanks for all the artists, film makers (sorry Simon Withney, Mick Sowry, Grupo Sal, Pepê Cezar, Nathan Oldfield, Woodshed), workers, friends, my wife for understanding... love to all...
