Hello
We have all done countless Covid tests in the last few years. All mine have been single line … until now. I have spent the last four days in bed, asleep. Today I am up and dressed but stopping for frequent rests.
Anyway. This week was set to be my busiest of the year as the Frieze Art fair opens in Regents Park today and everyone wants to put on their very best offerings in time for the arrival of the international art market. This year I had opted not to visit the fair itself (very busy, very hot, very expensive) but see all the hoopla that surrounds it in London. What I had been hoping to see, and hope that you will and let me know what you think, includes buttons at Loewe, Lakwena Maciver stairs at Christies, El Anatsui’s dramatic curtains of bottle tops hanging in Tate Modern’s Turbine hall and Marina Ambrovic lighting up Piccadilly Circus.
I confess that I have seen Luke Jerram’s Gaia and Museum of the Moon many times. Every time is always excellent. Somehow a different location adds an extra dimension to each art work. News of two of my favourite buildings are playing host to them. In London you can see Museum of the Moon at Southwark Cathedral until 28 October, tickets cost £3 from the Cathedral website. In Buckinghamshire, during half term Gaia will be gently twirling in the Marble Saloon of Stowe House, which should be incredible, tickets cost £5 and can be booked via the Stowe House website.
Happy Culturing … let me know what you get up to!
Catherine
