How to describe the phantasmagoria of experiences that was Occulture? It may take a couple posts. Long story short: I’m really glad I went. I was very happy with the responses to my talk and met lots of people who were excited to talk all things Leonora Carrington. And yes, the good news is my…

By the Hand of Sabazios!
The Hand of Sabazios! This ritual relic pops up here in there in archaeology from Asia through Europe. A cult which began in Asia Minor, Sabazios was quickly appropriated by the Greeks and then Romans, often appearing beside Hermes and Pan. These bronze hands were probably used in both altar niches and processions, where they…
Leonora @ Katonah
I met Stephanie down the river at Katonah for a great day of rebel plan making and of course, Leonora Carrington. This was much the same exhibit as we saw at the Rose Museum, so it was like seeing old friends. And getting a better look in some cases. It was a more relaxing day…
Dutch Cemetery, Claverack
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…
