London to Finland
24 August 2022
This diary starts in London with a visit to the Hayward Gallery with a brilliant introduction from curator Ekow Eshun who welcomed us to the incredible show, ‘In the Black Fantastic’
One of my old favourites Hew Locke had a well-deserved room unto himself
It felt wonderful to also see a room devoted to Tabita Rezaire, who was at the same time part of ‘Among the Machines’ at the Zabludowicz Collection
Before I went to Finland, I managed to squeeze in a most beautiful dinner at Sotheby’s where Lynn Chadwick’s candelabra were the centre piece of the table
Helena Newman gave a wonderful speech
We had a quick trip to Italy where we enjoyed an incredible techno set!
Poju checked out a local sculpture at Forte dei Marmi
Then we arrived in Finland to 30 degree heat, and were so excited to see our artists in residence and the team who were enjoying some lovely moments
Meanwhile, I was getting on with fitting out the new School House
Checking out the Large Field Array stalagmite
We had such a great visit from Isaac Joseph. He loved the new Tracey Emin work in front of Annika House
A lovely portrait of Isaac
Meanwhile, the team were working away
Artists had plenty of time for Kayaking!
