D’clinic TRACTOR residency, Lendava, Slovenia – Week Two
The days are beginning to melt into each other as I accept residency challenges and adapt. I opted not to climb for 30 minutes up the hills to the idyllic vineyards and artist housing. Instead, I am staying across the street from D’clinic at the hostel, which is situated near a huge ornate, modern theater. On a nice day I can sit outside, have my morning coffee, and strategize my day. The hostel is also near the synagogue, which is a reminder that 360 Jews were sent from here to Auschwitz in 1944. There are no Jews living in Lendava.

The hostel has two offices and a dance studio (believe it or not) on the ground floor; the one room on the second floor is mine. During the day I work at the hostel and at night, when the other resident artists head to their house, I work by candlelight at the D’clinic studio. A few passersby stop to watch.

D’clinic TRACTOR residency, Lendava, Slovenia: Week One
Lendava
D’clinic
Lendava is a very quiet place – it took me one week to find a restaurant open in the evening – and it is a good walking distance to counter a big dinner of local cuisine – did I say cuisine – mmmmmmmmm I have slowed down and the sun is out and Lendava is full of surprises. Now that two artists have left I am the new kid on the block and have my own space in the front gallery. In a residency it is hard to anticipate how things will go, as I delve further into “Suspending and Other Tricks” – or you might say tripping and falling. I have given in to two challenges, first, a problem editing video and sound on my new laptop – answer: that corny song will not be made “cool” – I’m giving in to corny; and second, artists working in the next studio – I have accepted three weeks of voyeurism, mine and theirs.
