London ephemera
So I just came back from a trip to London of the short, hectic and super-fun variety. I lived there for almost 2 and a half years up until this time last year. So it was with a bit of a heavy heart that I came home on Monday. I miss it a bit over there. Strangely, visiting felt as if time had stood still this year. J & I visited friends, ran around town, reminisced, and basically were sleeply and awake at all the wrong times.
Here are some of the bits of paper I brought back with me:
These first ones are all from Tate Modern....
Postcard from a Gillian Wearing photograph from the series (see previous link) Signs that say what you want them to say and not signs that say what someone else wants you to say
Dan Flavin 'Monumment' for V. Tatlin
I think the image results page on Google is the best link for him!
The back of the flyer for Doris Salcedo's piece for the Turbine Hall Shibboleth. I have some photos that I'll post of this piece later this week. In looking up a link for Salcedo, I found this from the Istanbul Biennial. Wow!
These two are the packaging from a Louise Bourgeois tea towel. Apparently I have now started a home furnishing art collection. (Post on The Thing is still outstanding!) I'm sad to report we did not see the show though....also sadly missed the V&A Couture show that everyone is raving about. I was only there for a weekend people!
Note to self: Look up Meredith Frampton's work....
Who can resist a proper Dracula? Really just brought it home to reference good films to look for on Netflix....
My lovely Selvedge magazine, that is just too pricey in the US (maybe I'll get a subscription!)
