Went to the Saatchi Gallery Start Art Fair 2014, where I was mistaken for a VIP (used the wrong entrance) and got a preview of the show. Rather dispiriting; its a showcase for Asian galleries and seemed to this jaded old artist to be a regurgitation of British painting many years ago only probably rather better executed. Not unpleasent - just sad.
Much more happily then caught up with Frequent Esperaza Visitor (FEV) Chris Cunningham at the Serpentine where we went for a glimpse of Marina Abramovic - see her blog on Marina at Midnight at serpentinegalleries.orgI'd never seen an artist with two bodyguards before. Wonder if you can get them on HelpX?
Chris was on very fine form - had a great time talking about the show and then wandering through the park chattering non stop
Also there was young Max (another FEV) seen below, looking marvelous despite the recent blood extractions needed for his latest artwork. Artists today, eh...
The evening was spent gloriously with more FEV's, Vina and David from Gallery 291 in Hackney. We dealt with lifes major issues till late into the night.
All out FEV's send love and expect to be back sooner or later :)
