Apres Tonbridge
Well how glad is everyone that the group presentations are over? Group work is such a challenge, but well done Team Tonbridge, considering we had no time to practice, I think we did pretty well.
Now I'm looking forward to moving on and getting stuck into Hadlow. Has anyone else had a problem opening the email from Jamie? My computer tells me the attachments need "decoding", whatever the hell that means. Will have to pluck up the courage to ask him - although I'm pretty sure it will be something really obvious that I'm doing wrong.
Just had a quick look through the other blogs and it seems that most people have made time to go to the Tate Modern and see the Rachel Whitehead thingy. I guess if I want to have an opinion I'll have to go too. Raina mentioned a previous exhibition there by Anish Kapoor, which reminded me of my summer holiday. I visited the Millennium Park in Chicago and here is a photo of AK's Sky Gate:
Locally it is known as "The Bean" and it really is like a great big shiny coffee bean. It was just amazing.
Thought I'd also bung in a picture of Hurricane Katrina, which visited Miami at the same time as me. Luckily, when I met her she was only a Force 1, not the nasty monster that went on to trash New Orleans, but still very exhilerating to witness first hand. This photo doesn't capture the force of the wind well enough. It was awe-inspiring and I was struggling to stand up while taking this photo.
Went to the theatre last night - to see The Blue Man Group. You may remember them from the Pentium ads - three funny looking blokes with blue heads. Anyway - it was a fantastic. It's all about how we live in a compartmentalised non-community where we live so close to others and yet have no interraction with them. How people visit internet cafes to communicate with people who aren't there and completely ignore the other people who ARE there. My interpretation was that it's about connecting with other people, and having fun and just enjoying life. Go and see it it will make you laugh. Oh and there's lots of drumming, which was great.
Well, that's enough blogging for now - I must make some time for my sketch book! and I've got a presentation to prepare for Monday's Tom Turner session. Surely with all this practice I'll get better at it?
Byeee!
