Not writing about Spencer Tunick (?)

I was thinking about writing about Spencer's Tunick's photoshoot at Greenwhich (2001) and started collecting some images, but then realised the time is late and I cannot write all the things I have on my mind about this artist...

Then I remembered that just few days after the photoshoot took place, I went  to see Massive Attack performing at Brixton Academy, and I got so late that I was running like crazy from the tube straight to the venue :) 

So I give myself a raincheck about writing and listen to one of my all time favorites...

Planning (?)...

Planning my trip, I cant wait for Yayoi Kusama's exhbition at Tate Modern.

(Copying from Tate)...One of Japan's best-known living artists, Yayoi Kusama's work spans more than six decades. This Tate Modern exhibition follows her career from early paintings of provincial Japan to the daring advances that followed.

Kusama is known for her immersive artworks, and the exhibition features a series of rooms covered in hallucinatory polka dots, mirrors and more.The artist was born in Matsumoto, Japan in 1929. She trained in traditional Japanese painting while also exploring the European and American avant-garde.

After moving to the United States in the late 1950s, Kusama forged her own direction in sculpture and installation, adopting techniques of montage and soft sculpture, which influenced artists including Andy Warhol. In the 1960s Kusama moved from painting, sculpture and collage to installations, films and performances. In 1973 she returned to Japan, where she began a parallel career as a poet and novelist.

April Fools' Day (?)...

(Wikipedia)
April Fools' Day:
April Fools' Day is celebrated in different countries around the world on April 1 every year. April 1 is not a national holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day when many people play all kinds of jokes and foolishness. The day is marked by the commission of good-humoured or otherwise funny jokes, hoaxes, and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, teachers, neighbors, work associates, etc.


I am leaving for a week in London on April Fool's Day...My dad always tricked us on Fool's Day...I could say that each year's Fool's Day, is probably one of the best memories I have from my childhood :)


This year on Aril 1st, I am going to be travelling, on my own, to go and have that "trip on my own" I was planning for so long...A 5 day seminar at St. Martins on "Contemporary Collage" and 3 days of walking and doing all the things I love to do...I am just counting the days...


Till that day, I am writing, painting and printing like crazy, listening to some music...
