London views: National Theatre, Dan Flavin retrospective, Rachel Whiteread
I am passing through London on my way back from the AV.06 festival and using the opportunity to meet up with the London scene. Last night saw a very pleasant gathering of Tom Carden, Karsten Schmidt, Andreas Müller (who turns out to be Swedish / Finnish, not German as one might suspect), Christian Giordano, Ed Burton and more.
A London Flickr set is already up, more blog posts to come.
Things seen:
Tate Modern: Rachel Whiteread’s Embankment installation
Hayward Gallery: Dan Flavin retrospective
Relevant books purchased:
Alex Coles: Design Art
Frances Follin: Embodied Visions. Bridget Riley, Op Art and the Sixties
Eye Magazine #58 (it has an article on the “decriminalization of ornament”)
Great to finally meet you.
Just for you, I updated Computing for Emergent Architecture with a selection of my recent delicious links.
Sounds like a good time!
I’ll be in London at the end of April… I’ll have to go and see that Whiteread exhibit for sure.
