Busy week ahead! Not one but two art openings and one big reception for both. Two photos and two charms in the 20×20 show: And in the big exhibit upstairs all kinds of magical pieces from Stephanie and me, which her beautiful poster hints at. You will be amazed! Paintings, sculpture, conceptual pieces, films, and…

Conjuring the Spirit World #Salem
A quick jaunt to Salem to meet up with art partner in crime QoE AKA Stephanie just so we could see this exhibit: Conjuring the Spirit World: Art, Magic and Mediums. It was so much fun and if you have a chance to go, be sure to do so! We loved it and got so…
The Rowan Tree
Poem by Lady Nairne (1766-1845), born Carolina Oliphant: THE ROWAN TREE Oh rowan tree, oh rowan tree, Thou’lt aye be dear to me, Entwined thou art wi mony ties, O’ hame and infancy. Thy leaves were aye the first o’ spring, Thy flow’rs the simmer’s pride; There was nae sic a bonny tree In a’…
More Tate B
I thought I would include a few things from the Tate B that I wandered past after the main exhibit I wanted to catch because there are so many lovely things (and I think I want to make a video of the Leonora trip, and that will take a minute…). This piece was actually in…
Random London
As it’s Monday and I have a lot to do this week but I don’t want to completely lose track of all the pictures I wanted to share from the London trip — and haven’t had time yet for all the Leonora pix — here are some random pictures to amuse. Not all from London…
London: Yoko, Before
Okay, so I did not post about my first visit to Yoko at the Tate Modern. Or any of the other exhibits I saw last February and they were great. In my defence, there has been a lot going on this past year. I know many of you are in the same boat. But I…
London: Yoko, Again
Yes, again. I would go many times if I could but I could really only squeeze in one more time this short trip. If you are thinking of dropping by be warned, it’s closing the end of the month! I looked at different things this time (I did write it up before, didn’t I? I’ll…
#NowYouSeeUs @ Tate B
Following on the success of Women in Revolt, the Tate B has installed an exhibit of women artists in Britain from the 16th century to the present. Not all the periods are of interest to me but I am wholeheartedly celebrating a belated — and hopefully not singular — recognition of the work of women…
To See the Ivy
‘Oh, Charles, what a lot you have to learn! There’s a beautiful arch there and more different kinds of ivy than I knew existed. I don’t know where I should be without the Botanical Gardens.’ I realised that I had not visited the Dundee Botanical Garden yet this summer and my brain was a jumble…
London: Zanele Muholi
There’s always so much going on at the Tate Mod: you can never get to everything even if you are a member and can go a few times even in a short visit. I had seen some of Muholi’s photos in other exhibits but this was my first dive into their work across time and…
