PLAY opened very well!
I’m really pleased with the opening. It was a lovely afternoon and I’m delighted that so many people came. Everyone enjoyed themselves and I got very good feedback – so it was a success all round!
After being away from London for so long and not attending many friends’ openings I was nervous that I’d dropped off people’s radars – I needn’t have worried. It was good to catch up with people.
On the last day of the show Bryan Mulvihill – will host a ‘tea-party’ in the gallery. Bryan is a good friend of Michael, and I met him two years ago when we were in Norway for Michael’s Golden Rain project. Bryan’s World Tea Party events have been held all over the world in all kinds of venues, I’m looking forward to see how it works with my installation. Bryan and I had a brief conversation and he’s thinking of doing something with “dancing tea” which is a particular kind of Japanese tea with leaves that “dance” in the water – it sounds wonderful …
In the meantime I’ve a week in Stockholm.
