' Wooden Sunset ' which does look interesting ..sorry for any confusion but Microsoft has just updated my " explorer " and all has gone waxommy shaped ..I've lost this response twice but still I will get round to an un-obscured Round Tour of the Exhibition.<br /><br />Its good to see that our Political Classes , Coalition-Con, CUT backs - also forward and left right and sideways - haven't totally eliminated all of your possibilities for Exhibition Space.<br /><br /><br />Arnold A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781217.post-40882063604039746342010-12-22T12:35:16.798+00:002010-12-22T12:35:16.798+00:00Corrine -- Portofino's wasn't a bad restau...Corrine -- Portofino's wasn't a bad restaurant when it was in Pilgrim Street, but since moving to that corner site, it's suffered. For one thing, it's always *very* cold and the service can leave something to be desired. Maybe you were there on a good day.<br /><br />Glenn is very good, yes.harry bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853116370799042788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781217.post-68754335738937764582010-12-22T12:30:02.114+00:002010-12-22T12:30:02.114+00:00Ian -- I had to laugh at your tales of ignorance a...Ian -- I had to laugh at your tales of ignorance and duplicity, but really it's rather sad.harry bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853116370799042788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781217.post-40361670769388948342010-12-11T14:55:08.039+00:002010-12-11T14:55:08.039+00:00I had a lovely lunch in that corner cafe, but a bi...I had a lovely lunch in that corner cafe, but a big part of it was the ambience and tile work in there. So lovely so see this building again even just voyeristically. Glenn's photography, oh my gosh, it's gorgeous, so thanks for posting a link.jafabrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490900607853203086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781217.post-63153099144498502002010-12-11T11:17:00.200+00:002010-12-11T11:17:00.200+00:00I had missed your rant on reproductions, but I agr...I had missed your rant on reproductions, but I agree with every word, especially this:<br /><br /><i>"I do think artists are being exploited, but they're colluding in their own exploitation."</i><br /><br />All this giclee stuff is being slickly marketed as an investment but it is not of itself art and its existence is polluting the whole idea of art for many people.<br /><br />There is also some appalling ignorance on this issue on the part of people we think should know better. I went into a local gallery recently and was talking to the owner about my monoprints, only for him to interrupt me and say he 'only had originals'. Another supposedly reputable gallery was selling monoprints in editions of 150! The fact that this was actually a repro was buried on anther page with no direct links from one to the other.<br /><br />More positively, I like the idea of a display on the staircases in the empty building. Solves the problem of means of escape at a stroke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
