Don't know where the summer went - had a week up in Lancashire to see my mum (and it rained all the time). Last couple of weeks I have got back into the exhibition circuit - Paul Carter's 'Hotel' at Matts, Susie Hamilton at Paul Stolper, Bloomberg Space, Gina Medcalf at Chelsea Futurespace. Also caught the end of 'Futurism' at the Tate - having reviewed the catalogue I was disappointed by the realisation of the exhibition - not the work. The futurists always get a bad press and this doesn't help.
On Friday afternoon I was on the Birgit Skiold prize jury with Elizabeth and Gill at the London Art Book Fair. This is a very different show and includes trade and gallery publishers. This is my first visit to the Whitechapel Art Gallery since their revamp and I get disorientated until I map the old space onto the new.
I treat myself to acquiring a Mark Pawson treated map of the Allegheny Highlands Mark Pawson. So much for saving up.
