so many notes 1!!! - a 10:00 evening slot at Aldeburgh Festival with Messiaen's
Petites esquisses d'oiseaux and La Fauvette des jardins played by Lorenzo
Soules - its abstraction was exhilarating - it was an extraordinarily powerful experience.
so many notes 2!!! - dropped into the British Museum - while it's still
there and free I thought that I would drop in on the way to new designers. it's
always best to see just one room as the space can be overwhelming - decided on
money - it is truly a wonderful display of mans ability to suspend belief,
create abstract realities and false Gods.
some films - whisky
tango foxtrot - http://gb.imdb.com/title/tt3553442/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2
a devastating chaotic film that spins
gloriously out of control in so many ways. is this what we do in other places? everyone wants some!! - http://gb.imdb.com/title/tt2937696/
unsure of the films tone - glorying in sexist 'frat boyness'! or irony light? -
if just a 'joke' who is it on? - it often felt like the audience. But after the
film within the credits is where the film starts to explore something of the
issues at hand - each character
raps with thoughtful lyrics over cleverly specific music that explores and
deconstructs their character and ultimately what each charter stands for.
The revised fundamentals of caregiving - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2452386/
a beautiful life affirming film - you will laugh you will cry.
a day at new designers - building the stand - it really is key that year
1 and 2 students on courses attend -
without the knowledge of seeing other students work they are at a disadvantage.
the build and hang for the MA Book Art Show at Camberwell is over - it really is
a dynamic exhibition with many wonderful conversations between the works taking
place - curating and hanging it is one of the highlights of my teaching year -
lots of learning taking place within wonderful conversations with creative
people - it will be a winner - all the Postgraduate courses are they - check it
out - 14th - 20th July - http://events.arts.ac.uk/event/2016/7/14/Camberwell-College-of-Arts-Postgraduate-Summer-Show-2016/?_ga=1.166516542.1278468922.1440491599
