an interesting group
tutorial with students at Camberwell - highlights
of a really good discussion were ideas around display and a works relationship
to potential audience(s) - managed to get to the Serpentine Gallery to see
Fishel and Weise bolder balanced on top of a bolder which was a bolded balanced
on top of a bolder – a little underwhelming, although it was big I have seen
more spectacular examples in nature so.......... but the show in the gallery
was wondrous – Rosemarie Trockel - an exhibition full of invention and ideas. Ranging
from artist books, textile explorations of the minimal canvas, large scale ceramic
pieces and an area of curated vitrines which were displayed to hold many
narratives. http://www.serpentinegallery.org/2011/03/rosemarie_trockel_a_cosmos.html A must
see. Pae White at the South London Gallery http://www.southlondongallery.org/page/pae-white-too-much-night-again was a spectacular extravaganza of yarn but
its initial impressive position was unable to provide extended viewing, unlike Rosemarie
Trockel. But the lamb broth was good!
