Exhibition

Ivor Brown

I gots an Ivor Brown book, 'I Give You My Word' for £1 today in Leicester Square. Boom. It's beautiful and full of words like ambuscade, cargozoon, inveigle and potwalloper.

A lovely end to a lovely day wandering around the Tate on the last day of the 'Rude Britannia' exhibition. Altogether an ok show; i was particularly fond of an H.M Bateman print on show (The Lost Stamp) and the satirical drawings of the fashions of the day by Philip Dawe et al. By far the best thing was Mike Nelson's Coral Reef exhibition, a beautiful labyrinth of corridors and rooms with unmarked doors reminded me a bit of being in a ship and left me in a curious discovering mood...

Nothing of any importance

I just thought my hair looked quite friendly. Also the lovely jubbly map i bought from the Magnificent maps exhibition at the British Library on the 23rd is flattening nicely after being horrifically squashed in my bag (if you haven't been GO! it's on until september although i do warn, you do get a bit mapped out towards the end.) It's the octopus map but Fred W Rose, but looks more blue than this one. Definitely one of my favourites from the show along with Grayson Perry, Steven Walker's The Island and the gorgeous terrestrial globes.

Huntarian

from a while ago...february or so. The pictures i tok on a disposable were really underexposed but i kind of like that. There was a no photography sign, so it probably just serves me right.

Huntarian

I really want to go see this exhibition on at the Huntarian called the Craft of Microscopy. It's a mix of craft and technology with really beautiful photography. And its free!
