The day after the visit to The Photographers’ Gallery our eldest said ‘Art’s just chatting.’
We asked her to repeat this so that we could jot it down.
‘Art’s just about conversations. When we were in Denmark you talked to this man and it was really boring for me and M.’
(The trip to Denmark was a Research Fellowship. We spent three weeks visiting galleries and meeting artists who were also parents.) We asked if she could remember any more about this particular boring meeting.
‘I was just sitting in a chair. We weren’t given anything to play with.’
We asked what she thought of the exhibition at The Photographers’ Gallery that we’d seen the day before.
‘Good. That was good. Cos we didn’t just have to sit. Liberty’s [the department store] was the best thing yesterday cos there’s so much awesome stuff. Like this giraffe that was this big and everyone wanted to touch it.’
