Curious…

So I was filling out my application for Materials for the Arts, and part of it asks for documentation of ongoing cultural activities.  So I figured I’d google myself and see what kind of documentation was already out there.

Turns out that my piece on Bulgarian Squat Shops, featured in Polar Inertia, has begun making its rounds on the internet:

Here it is on Tricorder
And here it is on RebelArt (in German!) 
And (again in German) on some site called xFuckerx

That last one just about made my night:

“Der fotograf Ivaylo Getov hat eine sehr schöne Fotoserie über “Bulgarian Squat Shops” abgeliefert.”  

That’s great.
