Andrew and I met up with a couple of his students today and went down to Chelsea to have a look at some galleries. We started in at Hauser & Wirth where there was a gigantic construction resembling a whale’s skeleton made up out of the steel components of a building’s frontage tortilla-d up and rolled into a cone. It was pretty amazing.
But I think my highlight was getting to have my picture taken with tiny Paul McCartney:
There was other stuff, too. Here’s a quick gallery with some. I also particularly enjoyed a show by Matthew Ritchie, and I want to get a couple of books by him entitled “The Temptation of the Diagram” which look great.
By the end of the day we’d walked 7 miles in the city, so my feet are a bit sore. I’m going to pick up some insoles/ arch supports or suchlike.
Stopped for a rest on the way back…
