Alex Pearl is not in the Antarctic

Dashed to Bedford yesterday to bung up a little light for my self portrait which is now concealed behind a black curtain (best place for it) Eva had done a wonderful job tidying it all up and it did actually look ok. There were well over a hundred people (+ kids) at the private view.The kids seemed to especially like the most fragile things and one did 'rescue' a boat from its icy (polystyrene) grave spilling beads all over the floor. Unfortunately I couldn't drink but I brought a friend with me who made up for that and at one point started to drag passers by in off the street. The Guardian didn't use my picture, hopefully it will be in next week. I'm at my studio again today catching up on emails writing and filming satellites/space ships, I haven't decided what they are yet. I'm going to upload photos of the show to http://www.notantarctic.blogspot.com/
