The Tempest RSC/LAT 1st day of rehearsals

Flats East London

Walking east along the canal from Kings X to Victoria Park I spotted this derelict block of flats. The boarding up of each window shows a picture of the person who used to live there.

Set Build The Tempest RSC/LAT

Visited Stratford today to see the progress of the set. It is all coming together as I hoped thanks to the skills of the RSC workshop. Show starts rehearsals in London in just over a week.

Norman Rockwell Dulwich Picture Gallery

1st trip to Dulwich Picture Gallery today. The collection of paintings is incredibly varied and I particularly enjoyed the Norman Rockwell retrospective.

This one is his cover for the Evening Post on April 1st. I think there are over 50 April fools in the painting.

The game of Bridge was a favourite too.

Gauguin Tate Modern

Just managed to make the Gauguin exhibition in its final week. The collection is really overwhelming and charts his whole life. He was a master of colour, the yellow and flecks of red in this one are sublime.

James Turrell Gagosian Gallery

Incredible exhibition of James Turrell's work. The light installation you can walk into almost feels therapeutic. You can't see the light source, the whole space seems to glow to infinity.
