checking out
Woman's Hour playlist organised by Lauren Laverne - 70 songs 70 years playlist
- it was great to hear tracks that are part of my Desert Island Disc top 100
songs!!! aren't we all just await for the call? - blue by Joni Mitchell, Grace Jones pull up to the bumper, Venus as a
boy by Bjork and Marlena Shaw's Woman of the Ghetto but new to me was Le Tigre I
loved the raw power of their sound - channelling x-ray specs and the riot grrrl
power of bikini kill - my new latest favourite band. http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/playlists/zzznnc So far this week - three great
teaching experiences - chairing a seminar of student presentation proposals, running
intensely packed group crits, and delivering an on-line seminar. There is some excellent
work out there and it's a joy to be a small part of it. Managed to see an interesting show by Roman
Ondak at The South London Gallery - a large element of it is a form of building
archaeology when the original parquet floor is revealed. It's interesting to
think about how I have worked in several places for long enough to be one of
the few people remaining who can remember that beautiful floors have been
covered by false floors and corporate carpets - all awaiting discovery. Also I
can think of examples where I have watched a building be constructed, knowing
it through its life and then watching it be demolished, to be replaced by a new
building. More work in Cambridge as part of unfolding thinking - quite possibly
the most extraordinary job I have ever had! http://unfoldingthinking.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/pipetpipetpipetpipetpipetpipetpipetpipe.html
