Nice.

REPREsenTING!

Thomas Hirshhorn (check out his previous work Bijlmer Spinoza-Festival, utter babe) has created Crystal of Resistance for the Swiss Pavillion at this years Venice Bienalle. Wonder which I will prefer... Karla Black's or Hirshhorn's. Ideally Black's seeing as I am REPREsenTING (in the form of an information assistant just to clarify)!

Palazzo Fortuny

I went on holiday to Venice in the Easter holidays.

Check out that sofa in the Palazzo Fortuny, it is awesome and one day when I have my Grand Design it will be designed a sofa of this magnitude. Whilst there I also saw an amazing James Turrell, so amazing in fact that I mistook it for a piece of hanging perspex but very quickly realised my mistake when I bumped my head against the wall. But these things are going to happen with a clever optical illusion, a lot of light and a blonde in the room.
