Had a visit to R.K. Burt yesterday, the venue for PaperFields exhibition next month. On the way went to The Jerwood Space – good to see Lexi Strauss exhibiting there in the Jerwood Drawing Prize.
Had a chat with an Emmit (to the tune of ‘Everything is awesome’ in my head!) from R.K.Burt who was very helpful, we may have solved a plinth problem. He suggested using Google maps to see which businesses are nearby, to invite to our lunchtime PV. Plus we came up with idea’s while in the space in how to fill it and even use the A-board outside for an extra work using paper.. may be ‘My cup runneth over II’ by me. Something a bit unusual to draw the eye.
Figured out the hanging system. Gave guided tour on tube. Asked the Tate nicely about having some of our flyers and generally had a good nose about the Southwark area! And saw the Malevich exhibition briefly, commenting on the curation, then sunk happily on a sofa in front of a blue screen with a calming voice, before getting the 3 minute warning that the gallery was closing. Must have been enjoying that blue screen. It was Derek Jarman Blue 1993 – must find out more about it.
Then had to get to train home again. Whoosh – London trips always go too quickly.
