Went to the inauguration of a new restaurant in Palermo last night. How I got to go is a bit complicated, I met Katia (who is from Geneva) at the hostel and she’d met the owner of the restaurant (who is also an artist) when he had an exhibition in Lausanne, in fact she wrote the catalogue for the exhibition. He’s from Buenos Aires and they’d met up over here, and she’d been invited to the opening of his new place, and I went along too. Anyway, it was a very cool place, no way of telling it was a restaurant from the outside, and inside full of the arty scene of Buenos Aires. Well some of em anyway. Spent a good chunk of the time talking to another painter from Berne (why do I keep meeting people from Switzerland?) who’d spent the last 30 years in South America. He’s got an exhibition here too which I’ve been invited to go see…

Julio the owner was also showing some of his latest portraits prior to them moving to an exhibition in Europe somewhere.
