It's so nice to be included in art gallery shenanigans even when I am an ocean away from the party!
I got toted around Siobhan's apartment tonight on skype, so that I could take part in Ihor's going-away party. There was even a toast to me, how lovely!
I've just had a very relaxing reading week, with lots of movie-watching, gallery days, reading and sleeping. I didn't travel anywhere because I had three rehearsals this week, but last week's adventures around Scotland with the Stewart clan got a bit of my travel antsy-ness out of my system for a while...a least til December, I think.
Last night I went to a talk at the National Gallery: Tim Marlow in conversation with Tracey Emin
and yeah, it was amazing. She has had this crazy life and it all basically comes out in her artwork, which spans everything from sculpture to painting to textiles to video, performance and installation art. I suggest you check her out. The Gallery of Modern Art has a retrospective of her work up right now and I spent the whole day going through it on Monday. Anyways, her talk was really interesting and also pretty hilarious. She's a fantastic speaker and had lots to say about her work and her relationship to it. She also told us about her ridiculous dreams...such as, falling off a wooden roller coaster and being flung onto a giant penis, and holding on for dear life until she realized she could shimmy down the veins to save herself. (Sorry for the imagery there.)
When I arrived home after the talk, feeling all inspired and creative, I made a sweet sailor costume for Halloween.
Also, I put a ton of photos up on facebook. Go look at them, I'm too tired to put more up here.
