one
man two guvrnors is a farce - as a genre I really cannot stand farce - I went
to see one man two guvrnors at the New Wolsey in Ipswich - I hated
it....obviously - But I was surrounded by people really enjoying themselves -
so it must be ok? Was the audience laughing with rather than at - the 'useless'
old people and 'nice but dim sexually excessive' women ........maybe I lacked the irony recognition needed to get it.
went
to see the Kara Walker at The Tate - unsure what I think so I will have to go back and
spend more time. Dan Vo at South London Gallery had some positive moments - the
sculptures for me were the most interesting work, especially the one in the
Fire Station. He had also chosen some
intriguing pieces to show together, it is always a pleasure to see
Serrano's Immersion (Piss Christ)...while looking at the work in the South London Gallery Fire Station
in Gallery 4 by Felix Gonzalez Torres, Untitled (Portrait of Julie Ault) - I found myself thinking about the idea of important moments and the book art family tree concept we are presenting next week at Camberwell as part of Symposium 1.

skool' is complete.
