As part of History day at Claverack Library, the Dutch Reformed Church ran a tour through the cemetery. While I have lived in this area for some time now, I had never wandered through this place, though I drive by it so often I always think I should. While retaining the restrained, no-nonsense affect you…

Out at the Ferry
On a cloudy day that did end up with rain, I headed out to Broughty Ferry to wander, mudlark and do a little thrifting, because you know the thrifting is better with the poshos. The rain was well-timed to grab a sandwich and daydream and people watch. A suitably Gothic day at the beach, which…
Blue
I have a piece in the latest American Museum of Paramusicology journal. I saw at the last minute Matt Marble’s call for pieces on the theme of blue and had just the thing. If you subscribe, you can get not only this journal but so much more: The American Museum of Paramusicology (AMP) is home to…

Ithell @ Tate
I usually manage to get a snap of the poster for an exhibition and somehow I managed to miss doing that. It was probably the decision to stop at the White Swan and have a nice burger and a pint of Guinness. I even watched the cricket (my sweetie would approve). Another hot day in…
Leigh Bowery @ Tate Mod
Some photos from the Leigh Bowery exhibition at the Tate Modern; I decided that it needed the multimedia presentation to give you a sense of the immersive nature of the show. Soundtrack by Aural Lint with the brand new track ‘Duet with Bin Men for Leigh’. The digression into MES images is entirely predictable. Enjoy.
Transitions
I think I need to give Leigh Bowery the multimedia approach, which will take a bit longer so here are some transitional moments from the Guild Hall Gallery: the Roman Amphitheatre and a few from the permanent collection. From Grimshaw to Grayson Perry is a big leap, I guess. Then I wandered along because it…
Evelyn de Morgan
This day devoted to iconoclasts, some quieter than others but all fascinating. I began with the one I knew the least about, Evelyn Pickering de Morgan who was on display at the Guild Hall Art Gallery. I know I ought to have made my way to the Guild Hall at some point (if only for…
The Eyes Follow You Around the Room
I’d not been to the National in some time and it was hot and I was tired from running around London already that day so after a nice lunch (peh!) in the crypt at St Martin’s I crossed the road to see some old favourites. Title many of you will know was taken from this…
Abstract Erotic
Random bits first: the mosaic tunnel, which I learned about on IG; Gatsby is a musical now because everything seems to be turned into a musical with unmemorable music I dunno maybe it’s good but I doubt it. And Oscar: impossible to just get Oscar; there were even more people when I passed by him…
