In order to restore some order to life, the universe and this blog, I am backtracking to when it all became overwhelming which would be mid-October and yes — ha! — it’s getting on the last part of November, but maybe this week I can endeavour to catch up a little. I do mostly write…

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…
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…
Leonora Carrington: Revelation
I said an embarrassment of riches around Leonora Carrington, didn’t I? Well here’s glory for you: the catalogue from the exhibit this year that brought to public view many parts of her life that have not been seen before (if you’re not someone like Joanna Moorhead who did get to see them) like her home…
Surreal Spaces: Life & Art of Leonora Carrington
DMs on Instagram are mostly scammers, but I check them occasionally anyway because sometimes something great is there — like a message from Thames & Hudson asking if I’d be interested in an advance copy of this book. Yes, please! Like all T&H books it’s gorgeously produced, which allows you to see details in paintings…

Radical Spirits: Hilma’s Ghost
As I found myself in Connecticut this weekend, I stopped off at the Hill-Stead Museum to visit the exhibit Radical Spirits: Tarot, Automatism, and Feminist Histories put together by the collective Hilma’s Ghost (named of course for Hilma af Klint): Hilma’s Ghost, named after af Klint, is a feminist artist collective consisting of Brooklyn-based artists and…
