Alright?
Im not one for long fancy words.
You know that.
But its good to think.
You can do it here.
Philosophy for all. All day festival.
Talks are interesting if theres nothing on telly.
Especially if theyre free. And the people are nice.
There was a competition at one point to dress up as a zombie.
Sorry i missed it.
Accessible is the word. That's a medium sized one.

Spent the weekend chiefly indulging our own, non cultural, private pleasures but managed to squeeze in the photographer’s gallery.
Claire Aho.
Finnish.
That’s different.
The great thing about the photographer’s gallery apart from its freeness is its oxfordstreetness.
Nip in for a cultural pitstop whilst indulging your own capitalist pleasures.
Like buying shoes.
Warm your cold monetary heart.

There’s a lot of it about.
Art from people on the margins.
There was some in another place we went and i think another place too.
In the wellcome collection there is an exhibition of art from people with various needs from various agencies in Japan and there is a lot of it thats truly great.
Some of the pots. Bit suspect.
But in the humble (ha!) opinion of @thedogwhatblogs the paintings and drawings are compelling in an i-could-look-at-that-for-bloody-ages kinda way or striking in an oo-thats-big-blocks-of-red-and-black kinda way.
Oh yes I’m back.
Woof.

Overhyping is a very real danger.
“Oo.” He exclaimed. “Theres an exhibition reimagining churchill at the national portrait gallery.”
It was one picture.
A good picture.
But not worth a whole poster.
*****
From Churchill to Church.
Frederic Church.
We went here before when it wasnt on.
You may or may not recall.
@nationalgallery.
Here is an opinion:
“What lovely landscapes!”
Honestly though it may be one room but thats not overhyping.
Its an understatement.
And its free.
“What artistry in the brushstrokes!”
Shut up Colin.

I guess we should do a blog as we did something.
We went to man ray at the national portrait gallery.
It was 12 pounds and of moderate size and full of black and white portrait photos of 20th century oddballs.
Now we like this…
Love,
Harley xx
Now iv remembered why i like this place.
Theres lots going on.
3 exhibitions dusted in an hour.
Who has the time for more?
And its free.
We like free.
Somerset House.
