whole project is extensive and bright with lots of individual work going on in
lots of different places around Cambridge. https://artlanguagelocation.org/

at the end of the break last week I had a couple
of days in Marseille - I love this slightly dysfunctional city, it feels so quintessentially
French with a huge range of fantastic 'outside' influences - sited on the sea
with great food it always appears to be sort of writhing. Went to see the
collection at Musée d'Art Contemporain - some
good but eclectic pieces hung without any practical care or seemingly curatorial
skill or interest. They did have a disturbing yet excellent Annette Messager
piece which was a dark joy squishing nature and its cartoon image together. The
Cathedral had huge flags which looked like a form of medieval clip art and the redeveloped
area around the port is extra-ordinary - especially the Museum of Old Marseille
which is one of the oddest-brutally-beautiful clever spaces ever - a must
see. Got back to see Jason Bourne - a rollicking rush of a
JB experience, set pieces were a blast. I
Am Not a Serial Killer is a 'not-bad' twisted dark 'indi-thriller'.
