Installation.
Being there.
This is the joy of art over tv… radio…
Film at the cinema sits in the middle.
Especially @cineworld wood green…
Its interactive… with calling out…
And multi sensory…
With coke showers.
So whether the installation its Hirstian butterflies in the Tate Modern.
Or curiously phallic/orificy stone sculptures http://www.artfirst.co.uk/ (hey we’re sooo over exposed to arty cocks and fannies thats we’re stained with the freudian) …you get to drift around and say you went.
Sometimes you can drift around v quickly.
We eat up gallery clusters.
Today at eastcastle street (ox circus).
Nice COLOUR photos (and the obligatory moody monochrome)…
It was the young people wot done em.
We also read the surrealists drifted around looking for found objects…
This does not mean… @albiestar… drifting around looking for cash points and finding eighties camp comedians in the buff…
Over exposed indeed…
VIVA LONDON!

best/cheapest life drawing we’ve found. nice teacher.
we like cheap… we like nice.
I like to think of myself as the new samuel pepys.
Today we took advantage of the courtauld gallery's monday free time 10-2.
Lovely.
We like free.
Also there was a brief talk.
We like talks.
We like brief.
Go when theres a talk its much better.
Lots of old pix and the drawing exhibition is mildly interesting for 15 minutes.
You get your moneys worth anyway.
You can combine it with an awesome rolling stones exhibition too.
Or origami if youre inclined like the boy wonder @albiestar.
Why not,
Love,

It’s hard to decide which I preferred… Knitting or drawing that young lady without a stitch on…
Il leave that one hanging…
Anyway you might be wondering with my fair paws how I managed both of those things… Get aforementioned monkey @albiestar to it under your fair direction.
Any who… Knitting is cool in austerity Britain (little bit of politics there)… Make and mend.
Drawing naked ladies is cool because you get to pretend your not just staring.
Is it art or is it porn?
That’s a debate for another time and place.
This is a lighthearted, whimsical blog,
Love,
