blue my mind

The last week I Interned at a pop - up art show in a gas station in Chelsea, Ny. It involved hanging out in a bodega for a week, which was one of the most surreal (but best snack) experiences of my life.

The show runs from Thurs 15/09 to 23/09. It showcases Brooklyn based artists, in the centre of the NY gallery world in quite an unexpected way. The first of many, the 'art station' project is run by Beth Fiore and Rachel Stekson as part of an initiative to help raise money for an artist resource centre in Brooklyn.

SMOKE

Mr Tom Vek, I couldn't decide if this video makes me want to smoke or be sick.

Either way my beautiful friend Joseph appears (00:54) *proud parent* ( even if it did involve chain smoking 50 cigs before lunch)

we love J.S

If February be the month of Love, we all love John Soame.

I was lucky enough to see two of my favourite Architects lecture this month.

Firstly Jonathan Hill, who spoke about his new book 'Weather Architecture'. Focusing for a while upon the building or better 'piecing together' of the John Soame Museum, by the artist himself, as he battled to block out the cronically smoggy Georgian London 'weather'. Afterwards I got so nervous about asking a question that my bag broke and spilled out onto the floor...

Secondly Adam Caruso ( Caruso St John) spoke at Dulwich Picture Gallery. The building itself was coincidentally (probably not!) designed by John Soame. Caruso Saint John are currently working with the John Soame Museum, on the refurbishment and restoration of some annexes and Caruso spoke of this amongst other projects ( including Swan yard - pictured below). Afterwards we chatted, I split coffee on him. My attempts at talking to people I admire should probably end here.
