Visiting London
I'm in London for a couple of weeks.
It looks satisfyingly *like London*, as compared to some cities which are a bit bland and generic. The weather is appropriately grey and drab, with gilded spires somehow picking up and concentrating the light.
I went to the Tate
Modern on the weekend. It was deeply moving, probably more so
than any other art collection I have seen. Not only are the works
without exception outstanding, but the organization and juxtaposition
makes them even more meaningful and powerful.
Bruce
Naumann's installation in the Turbine Hall is a wonderful bit of
sound-as-sculpture. (Doesn't the name Turbine Hall
just beg
for something like this?)
I'm going to eat wierd organs on Wednesday at St John.
There is also a purpose to this trip.
