What I Did On My Holidays
Back about three four hours ago from day two of the exhibition in Broadstairs of the photos I took circumambulating Thanet, all thirty miles of it. Trying to avoid going to bed too early ( Read more... ) -
Many Hands
Saturday I got up at daft o'clock to celebrate the 25th anniversary of my driving test - I caught the 6.00am train to Victoria, breakfasted in the Regency Cafe and was the first person through the doors of the Lowry exhibition.

Foot pain retreated enough this morning to allow me to walk to West station and the 8.07 to London Bridge - truly London will be fab when they've finished building it - and a walk to Tate Modern. I'd done the Alighiero Boetti and Yayoi Kusama last Sunday, finding them both very rich and fecund artists, the Kusama beng the more interesting of the ( Read more... ) -
Birmingham
Having done much walking of late, I've felt very inspired by (and jealous of) the artist Hamish Fulton, who has said "If I do not walk, I cannot make a work of art", and lives round these parts.

Warhol is Here, There and Everywhere
Having, against my better judgement, gone to Bexhill to see the Warhol show (free, De La Warr, worth it for the building which needs a lick of paint again), I see another exhibition coming to Dulwich Picture Gallery. Which is more than the DPG website admitted to yesterday ( Read more... )
