lookingforwardandorganising

today is a busy day of organising - work for a show in Wyoming, fabric for new shirts to be made and materials for tomorrows making day at OCA - a kind of observed together yet apart day of art studio practice - wonderfully engaging. I have been buying 'interesting' fabric and getting shirts made - some examples. Beginning to get excited about a few events coming up - in the short term tonight its Russell Maliphant's Silent Lines at the Dance House in Ipswich. Later - its Latitude which has become a little main stream so it's only its location - literally 8 miles from my house which makes it almost rude not to go...wandering into Underworld outside late at night has got to be okay. On the longest day there is First light in Lowestoft a FREE 24hr non-stop, beach festival https://firstlightlowestoft.com Its the year of Venice Biennale which is always awesome - the title May you live in interesting times feels like a threat! the excitement is bursting, especially as Jimmie Durham has been awarded the Golden Lion - his smashing objects video is hilariously disturbingly sad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SOj9vumZOY I can almost taste the Aperol Spritz and feel the warmth of the sun after a long day of 'art looking'. In terms of screens the Beautiful yet chaotic Marwen is worth a watch https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3289724/ The new series remake of Hannah seems unnecessary. Glass was a little disjointed to keep up and in the end I ceased to care but Samuel Jackson wears a great suit!

Got to go to the new Escape Room in Saxmundham, Suffolk - surrounded by wondrous airstream land yachts that you can stay in https://www.suffolkescaperoom.co.uk/  based on a WW2 theme - my first time in one - it was interesting/intriguing with clues everywhere - we got out but maybe a little bit of luck helped.
