I had a meeting today with the curator Gill Hedley. She came to Joking Aside and had a look round. Because of her high powered reputation, I had managed to build it up into a very nerve wracking experience but […]

I am so grateful for the Tate online events archive! (http://www.tate.org.uk/onlineevents/archive/) Watching lectures stimulates, inspires and shakes one out of moments of nervous doubt. Other people take a shower to refresh while I listen to a lecture, read a book […]

Just back from New York. Had expected to be able to update my blog on a daily basis through using internet cafes. Not so. In New York everyone is WI-Fi and they carry their own personal gadgets ( cell phone, […]
