A few days later I am back here to share my discovery of an artist - pataphysician: Thomas Chimes! The opening of the linked above article may tempt you to read it, I daresay:

'Despite his early success in New York, Chimes chose to heed the advice of Marcel Duchamp, who predicted that the "great artist of tomorrow" would need to go

"underground" to avoid the insidious influence of the commercial art world. Inspired by Duchamp's famous statement, Chimes has continued to live and work in Philadelphia, always in search of his next big idea rather than commercial success.'

Not seeking commercial success? That makes me think of Yousif Naser, an Iraqi painter and a good friend who is about to have yet another exhibition in France. 

 This picture features in the poster for Yousif's exhibition. You know? If I was free as a bird, I'd go to the opening and enjoy the company of his many friends, some of whom I was privileged to meet here in London. From there I would travel to Basel to attend Beni and Ursle's event: Patapysische Topologien II. Then I would make it to Berlin to see my friend who keeps inviting me... I'd stay a few days in each of these places soaking in the atmosphere and capturing the sights... If I were in Berlin, it would be just a leap to Wroclaw where I could pay a surprise visit to my relations and enjoy this beautiful historic city.
