Bounce Henge

I spent yesterday in Glasgow, checking out GI with the lovely Patricia Fleming. What an amazing day, some great artwork and some not so great. The highlight had to be Jeremy Deller's Bounce Henge, mainly for the fact that it has become such a hit with Glaswegians ... I wonder if it will become Glasgow's 'Another Place'?

When we visited the weather was glorious, families had set up picnics, and Patricia tells me children have started having their birthday parties at The Henge. I love it when people embrace work like this, even if they aren't concerned whether its Art or not.

Another highlight was Kelly Nipper's Black Forest at Tramway .. the performance was quiet and understated, but I really enjoyed it. The enormous space, with tram lines running from side to side, seemed domestic, and cosy, and inviting. I stayed for some time. I also watched to two films at Tramway, Redmond Entwistles Walk Through was interesting, but not terribly thought provoking. I found Moyra Davey's Les Goddesses dull, maybe I didn't give it enough time?

Today I am trying to digest it all, so I went singing with Smallest at Lancaster Library. Fabulous fun.
