Yoko Ono's Blanket
Everyone is insisting I had swine flu , but there was no coughing. All I know is I missed our Saturday opening at BALTIC and Hamborghinni didn't perform. I also missed the class , which Yannick had to teach on his lonesome.
Feverish and dizzy , passed out back stage in a cold sweat , Laura Harrington , the exhibition co-ordinator at BALTIC and our minder/babysitter during our stay, mentioned I could sleep in a quieter room , using Yoko Ono's blanket.
So I did. The blanket was light blue , crocheted , probably cotton but maybe a cotton poly blend.
I'm unsure whether it was a) a blanket Yoko Ono brought to BALTIC and left behind , b) a blanket someone at BALTIC bought for Yoko Ono's nap needs or c) some random blanket in the bowles of the BALTIC used by both Yoko Ono and me , Chloe Lum.
Either way I slept hard , for 3 days straight.
The rest of our UK trip was fun and productive. Saw gigs and movies , hung with old friends , met new ones . Went to a pile of galleries and museums. Ate great food . talked about art a TON and got well intimate with the buses/tubes/overground in London.
One of the many highlights was getting together with our new pals at
Heretic in Stoke Newington. We Met Luke kinda randomly about a year and a half ago when he emailed us , saying he was in Montreal , liked our work and wanted to meet us and and see our studio. We became fast friends and kept in touch. Her repaid our hospitality in spades and we got together with him ,
Therese and Jon and banged out a jam print, quick and dirty.
This is for sure our favorite activity while on the road.
