continuing to work on the 3D printing, looking at joining components to make ‘sheet’ material as well as continuing to explore flexibility. a weekend away – the Edward Krasinski installation at Tate Modern is very special. A Year in Australia has Algernon Talmage’s The Founding of Australia, a truly disturbing painting celebrating the continents founding by the British – yes - all the history taught to me really was a lie! Lubaina Himid’s sculptural pieces in her show are very special. Akram Khan’s Outwitting the Devil, at Sadler’s Wells was awesome – darkness and foreboding in bold fluid movement – I woke up an old man to find an axe in my hand, powerful stuff that stays with you. The drawings of Hokusai for The Great Picture Book of Everything at the British Museum were sublime, unfortunately, they are displayed in very low light, too far away and behind thick glass, but the detail was exquisite and the designs far reaching – rethinking Lichtenstein after a visit to the Tate. Onto screens Spencer has some great acting but is overly long……..Reminiscence – is a great idea but….Boiling Point – is a traumatic ride, no buts …… https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11127680/
