Some days you do a lot of things but still can’t shake the feeling that you’ve not achieved much, you know? I’ve been for a swim, been to an art gallery, bought a wok and a milk frother and just made a nice cup of coffee – but has that helped me understand the difference between causation and explanation? no, it has not!
The art gallery I went to was the Rokeby, which is a very nice little place on Store Street. It was the last day of an exhibition by Craig Fisher, who had made huge weapons out of fabric. Upstairs they were laid out on a table to start with, but as you progressed through the display they were put to more and more use, till in the basement you get the blood spattered chainsaw room shown above. It was only a small show, but I really liked it – it was a kind of toytown bloodbath.
Incidentally I found out about the show by browsing around ArtRabbit which looks like a very handy site for keeping track of what exhibitions are on and when they finish.
