Just back from a great time at the east coast - a wonderful escape from the rain and studio pressure :)
It was lovely to be out in the fresh air for the most time of our trip. Holy Island is such a nice place - and though the wind was very strong, there was a caressing warmth and gentleness about it.
On our way home we stopped in Newcastle to see some exhibitions at the BALTIC.
Steve McQueen's Pursuit installation was mind blowing - the effect of having a mirrored room covered in complete darkness with distant and blurry light dots flashing as a reflection from an oversized double sided screen placed in the middle of the room.
Next week I'm planning to go and see his debut feature film Hunger at the GFT in Glasgow. I'm really looking forward to it!
I also loved Yoshitomo Nara's exhibition. I've seen his work before (even got a wee A5 notebook with one of his images as the front cover) but the exhibition was so tactile - it is definitely worth visiting!
