We arrive home to a warmer London than we left it.
Our first port of call is straight to visit Diana Delphine and she is absolutely gorgeous as is her mummy and her daddy they are so happy.
The morning I was greeted with Breaking News, Gregor Muir is the new Director of ICA YIPEE!!!!!<br><br>Cindy Sherman’s opening followed by an intimate dinner at The Beauchamp Club hosted by Monica Spruth and Philomene Magers, it was a very intimate affair and everyone was out in full force.
Today was wonderful it was the Future Map opening. The day started with Medeia Cohan and Angelica Sule giving us a tour of the show. <br><br>We judged the Zabludowicz Art Prize at Future Map, which was hosted by ourselves at 176 and Medeia guided us around.
Myself, Lizzie, Ron Arad and Toby Ziegler were the judges of this year’s prize. It was not such a difficult task and the winner Josh Baum seemed the most obvious choice.
Then it was straight to choosing with the panel, James Lingwood, Lisa Le Feuvre, Mark Rappolt, Ellen Mara De Wachter, Elizabeth Neilson and myself picked the top most ten promising curators in our very first Zabludowicz Collection Curatorial Open. I was blown over by such an abundance of talent.
Straight after a day of judging we were greeted by a few hundred wonderful guests who had come to join us at 176. <br><br>Maxine Leslau looking incredibly beautiful.
The Students were out in full force, Chelsea School hanging out with Roy.
The art was incredibly interesting.Three beautiful models were displaying the fur coats by Eliana Dimitrakopoulou, they were being watched over by a body guard in case somebody wanted to throw paint over their lovely outfits.
At the door was another bodyguard of sorts also guarding a chick by Eun Jung Ha.
The real person who modelled for this work shows up on the internet.
My hairdresser Michael standing under a work by Youn Joo (Dari) Bae displaying so much hair.
There was definitely a hairy theme going through the show. This work by Lucia Rivero is two hairdryers dancing with each other to the song Sway.
I also liked very much the crawlspace works by Janina Lange where you had squeeze into this precision-made object to view video works of the artist crawling through objects in Ikea.<br><br>All the work was for sale and I walked away with a video by Sofie Alsbo where Elvis Presley is reinvented in an original and fun way, and a pig ring and a chewing gum wrapper bracelet made out of silver.
I very much liked and enjoyed the intelligent work by Jessica Blackstone, where if you wish you could take home the refrigerated readymade art works.
As did this lovely group of people which I suspect is the artist and her family?
Josh Baum was thrilled to bits and we were all so delighted to award him the prize. Ron was ready to greet him as he stepped down from receiving the prize. We are very excited about the prospect of working with him to create his edition.What a day.
