It feels odd to be making these last posts about the opening on the day after the show closed.
Since I came back I’ve had so much to do with that unfortunately my blogging has got very behind.
Here at last are my final Brusand entries:
Brusand Day 4
Stavanger:
Went to Stavanger with Liz and Kjetil. We make a brief visit to an artist’s gallery and project that are having a picnic/barbeque lunch before going to Stavanger Kunstforening to see Pieces Of Energy. The exhibition is a selction of contemporary work from the Statoil collection. The exhibition was only a fraction of their collection and had some very impressive paintings along with photography, sculpture and a video. Matthew Collins had given a talk at the opening. The catalogue is a weighty hardback affair with extended interviews with a couple of artists. One artist’s day is described – it sounded perfect, just the kind of day I aspire to: up early, coffee and breakfast in a café, morning working in the studio, lunch, afternoon in the studio, a run, home for dinner, reading and the radio, bed – what I loved were all the little details, the kind of paper he wraps his sandwich in, the way he describes his running shoes.
Evening – complete the edition of four embroidered rings on handmade rice paper.
