leedsleads

A weekend in Leeds checking out the thoughtful book art show at The Tetley http://thetetley.org/ some interesting ways of animating texts and the book, the exhibition at The Henry Moore Institute is excellent https://www.henry-moore.org/visit/henry-moore-institute what could our cities look like?

while wandering through Leeds the Kikgate Market is worth a visit for the structure and windows, and while getting a nice cup of tea check out the tiles in Cafe at Leeds Art Gallery  http://www.leeds.gov.uk/museumsandgalleries/Pages/Leeds-Art-Gallery.aspx Leeds also has some great places to drink - Headrow House is a nice starting point for the evening  http://headrowhouse.com/ The Maven http://www.themavenbar.com/ has the most beautiful and thoughtful cocktails, and although a chain The Botanist in Trinity uses flora in interesting ways http://thebotanist.uk.com/location/trinity-leeds

foldingtoasdonatrains

some pages from 1 of the 24 conversational bookworks potentially for the pews at Cley14 - spent the day on the train to Leeds folding and sewing. The day was most excellent with time at ASDA HQ talking with the George people and associates for possible student placements and a quick visit to The Henry Moore Institute and Leeds Art Gallery to see the sublime exhibition Tooth House by Ian Kiaer http://www.henry-moore.org/hmi/exhibitions/ian-kiaer-tooth-house and then a blast of a video by Bruce McLean http://www.leeds.gov.uk/museumsandgalleries/Pages/leedsartgallery/Bruce-McLean-Another-condition-of-sculpture.aspx very funny and worth a visit just for that.
