The show opens tomorrow in Oxford ‘Invasion of Privacy’, curated by Notfamousyet in a terraced house. Tonight is a private, private opening for artists and friends etc involved as it would be a health and safety nightmare, space- wise to open it up to everyone that we would have liked to have come. Over the next two weekends it’s open throughout the day though with a programme of music and performance artists, go to www.notfamousyet.co.uk for details.
I really like the collection of work that Gabriel has brought together and for me it is truly satisfying to have the particular work, ‘Bedtime Stories’ installed in the bedroom with the ‘Night Vision’ video as I had always planned it to be. I’ll be interested to see peoples reactions.
Life at home has been chaotic, racing back from Oxford yesterday, picking the three girls up then taking one child with an infected ear to the doctor and create a fancy dress Rambo costume for the other.
At 11 at night we were glued to a particularly monosylibic teenager who had kindly Youtubed himself making a replica Rambo knife. He specialises in cheap prop weapons so no doubt, now that my teenage son has discovered him, we’ll be visiting his site again. With husband in the States I’ve managed to ship all the children off to the relevant friends houses for the night but after the Oxford opening there’s a major surpise party for a friend opposite, husband home at 1am – and somewhere between that and morning I need to prepare for a workshop at the Arts Centre – plenty of time!
