What’s this then?
A pile of old bricks?
No silly, it’s a modulation of space in relation to your own body.
*****
There is a lot of stuff @_thewhitechapel #londonopen2015.
Some words: bricks, nudity, pottery, mud, lovely water colours, feelings, neon, stones.
Cheers,

It’s nice when things are paired together beautifully.
Bangers and mash.
Gin and tonic.
Horses and carriages.
Love and marriage.
Americans and Englishmen
And music and art.
*****
You see that’s what they’ve done here @nationalgallery #soundscapes.
Some words: A lake, choirs, skulls, electronica, The Tudors, monks, orchestras, John the Baptist, ballet, Jesus, bathers, another lake.
I wonder about the invigilators hearing the same music and looking at the same paintings over and over again.
They are beautiful the pairings but… All day.
The Cezanne was my favourite.
All haunting.
Cheers,

“Painting for me is the subject.”

Some words: I think she’s a good painter and quite clever but I don’t like them.
Ok, I like the way she does the eyes and I like the parrot.

I like the tube strike.
Leave early.
Pay a cheque in or something.
Go to an ‘off west end’ gallery or something.
Perhaps that’s not the point.
*****
First lets do the exhibition @_thewhitechapel that wasn’t so good…
Corin Sworn (good name)
Some words: big fat brown rod, decanters, mice, robes, fairy lights… You get the picture.
Sort of 3 Colin Starsish.
Now the really good one:
Rivane Neuenschwander.
Some words: Ebola, fear, clowns, guns, knives, thunder, God, fear, children’s clothes.
Sounds good, right?
5 Colin Stars.
Cheers,
Martin xx
I really, really liked Barbara Hepworth @tate.
It was nearly as good as Agnes Martin @tate modern.
But this wasn’t nothingness. This was… thingness.
*****
Some words: balls, string, paint, tension, very busy, surgery, women, animals, marble, bronze, wood, walking all the way round things, inside, outside, love.
******
It starts of with a room with lots of different sculptures by different people.
I liked the onyx toad the best.
Then there is a room that is all drawings and paintings of her.
Then it’s things actually by her.
5 Colin Stars.
Cheers,
Martin xx

Homage to life

Shel Silverstein, ‘The Missing Piece.’
I was just thinking to myself: “History painting has a reputation as a conservative art form.”
Then I’m told: “History painting has an undeserved reputation as a conservative art form.”
They are right @tate #fightinghistory.
*****
With all the loud marching outside this was right on the button…
A film on the battle with trade unionists at orgreave (a video display I actually watched) showed a fight with a Conservative government.
“It was winner takes all.. We lost and they took it all.”
In fact it was all brilliant. I found myself actually reading all the labels.
And after the shootings in Charleston it was interesting to see Richard Hamilton’s ‘Kent State’
“Too terrible an incident in American history to submit to arty treatment… Yet it seemed right too that art could help to keep the shame in our minds.”
Some reviews have said this exhibition isn’t very good but it is.
They are wrong and I am right.
Cheers,
Martin xx
So what do you think of this?
Load of old balls?
#supersymmetry @ a car park in soho.
Some words: no lift.

PS it’s something to do with molecules ok? Google it if you’re that interested.
Oo it’s a retrospective.
I’m never going to remember all these people’s names.
Oo some of them are famous.
20 years @Zabludowicz_Col Collection.
*****
Some of their words:
Hd video, steel viewing platform, monitor stand, paddling pool, cat litter, coloured cables
That’s just one piece.
Some of mine:
Cleopatra, rubber, Central Line, butterflies, Victoria Line, spam, Bakerloo Line, shag pile, buy my wife? legs, football, splats, is that Mick Jagger?

“Do you continue to talk even when you know no one is listening?”
All the time.

Please remove heels.

You can get lots of good ideas @woodcraftfolk.
And very few of them are to do with wood craft.
*****
Some of them are to do with splattering paint.
A lot of them are to do with making a mess.
All of them are to do with being creative and letting children take the lead.
Cheers,
Martin xx
