Saturday 25th
Catch train to London to visit Tate Modern with C for the day.
Good day. In one of the rooms much to my pleasure I find 2 pictures I hadn't seen for over 25 years , ones I spent 4 months with back in the 80's.
In 1983 I worked in the Barbican art gallery for the year waiting to go back to university. During that time there were several exhibitions, 'City of London Collection' where i met Herbert Lomb, 'Carpet magic', 'Hundertwasser' where i met him at the private view sitting on the 'Humus toilet' he installed in the gallery (non-functional!) and the one that had the biggest impression upon me, an exhibition of work by Asger Jorn.
These are the pictures i saw today, 'Timid Proud one' and 'letter to my son' Fantastic, have real feelings for them.
ballanced by:
While outside for a break in the sun, got very 'disturbed' by a man with performing budgies, so went back in.
Ironically and rather annoyingly , was caught taking a photo om my mobile of a 'space' when there were people with 'obvious' cameras snapping away at the pictures…..
Chat with station staff at East Croydon on way home, hopefully will hear soon…..
Friday 24th
Take a look at a 'studio' for rent in the morning with some friends who may take it. Then spend rest of day sorting applications. Get V tired.
Invited by SD to 'perform' a piece I wrote, recorded and did in Portsmouth in June with them later in September at a private view. Need to install 'yellow line, division' too for them to move over.
