Thursday
London. Busy day, I mean up at the crack of dawn kind of day. Saw the Tate Britain and the Hayward. Some weird and wonderful stuff present in both of the galleries.
I especially liked Richards Long’s exhibit from the Tate – I like the idea that no matter where he is he can do the same list of things, either forcefully of coincidently, that gave me few sparks of ideas I might run with. I also liked the way he always used the same stones but in no specific place but as it was still the same stones in the same place still counted it as the same piece of work.
The Walking in My Mind in the Hayward was quite surreal. Thomas Hirschhorn’s instillation stuck out in my mind, I guess because it was literally like metaphorically stepping into somebody’s mind, with the photos and pages of books and one thing leading to the next in. Very strange.
