Back from a good break camping in the south of france
with lots of reading, a couple of exhibitions and some time drawing.
Reading recommendations include the wonderful descriptive
language of Hilary Mantel – Bring up the Bodies, thinking about memory with Julian
Barnes – The sense of an ending, the textual assault of Will Self – My idea of
fun, the violent truth by Robert Harris - Fear index and a brute of a book
Stephen King – 11/22/63
Went to see the very moving
permanent installation of Pierre Soulages black canvases at The Musée Fabre in Montpellier. The yearly
pilgrimage to Chateau des Adhemar - Centre d'Art
Contemporain in Montellimar which is a stunning space and yet the work always disappoints and the
Musee de Miniature which never fails to give – how can you not like to see 12
camels in the eye of the needle! This year’s temporary show was of miniature origami.
