It's that time of year in the 'art school calendar' when final year shows
are being conceived and that means the organisation that supports the students
kicks in - which is where I come in.
Just returned from Glasgow International http://glasgowinternational.org/ which was a whirl
of art and parties - some interesting work and some interesting spaces -
sometimes those two things came together - sometimes the space was truly
awesome - highlights for me have to be Urs Fisher's mechanical snails, Sol Le Witts
black boxes under a magnificent skylight, Augustas Serapinas's piece blue pen
at David Dale Gallery - I loved the highly specific story (whether true of not)
that informed its making, it was just pitch perfect, Mark Lecky at Tramway
rethinking thinking and Corin Sworn had created an interesting movement work
within the space and showed the video of the work in the altered
space....wonderful.
Just finished reading - Do no harm by Henry Marsh https://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/mar/30/do-no-harm-stories-brain-surgery-review-henry-marsh
it will blow you away with his honesty - what is it to be a neurosurgeon? - a
5% failure rate is okay for us but for a patient its 100% fatal.
