The Count of Monte Cristo rambles on like a huge nineteenth century novel. The beautifully hung show at Exeter Phoenix (part two) is still up and has been reviewed on this site by Gabrielle Hoad www.a-n.co.uk/p/1219112. In Manchester, somewhere on the 4th? floor of an artist occupied mill, part three may or may not be still on the wall. It was featured in the Guardian Guide though I believe it would be an adventurous nay swashbuckling gallery goer that managed to view it after the busy opening night.
Three new chapters approach. In Limerick a warehouse like space awaits The Count of Monte Cristo – The Lions Den, in Folkestone a small shop window will host The Count of Monte Cristo – Smugglers and a frankly enormous church in London will be host to (you guessed it) The Count of Monte Cristo (the subtitle escapes me) The regular reader will know that this sort of lineup would usually give me a serious case of indigestion. However, this is not the case and, I am not sure why.
At home a large foam excrescence continues to grow in my basement. A van should be arriving to take it away at the end of the month by which time it will probably not fit through the door.
