Lovely exhibition of works by Ruth Asawa (1926–2013) at the David Zwirner gallery in London. Sculptures made of wire, constructed by various configurations of chain work. Her work seems at some moments 2D, like an ink drawing, the next moment 3D; maybe due to the breeze of a visitor walking by, disturbing their false flatness. Appearing solid, but partly see-through; they are an interesting mix or external forms becoming internal. The shadows added another quieter dimension to her work. On until 22 Feb.
6 Japanese firework catalogues, in full. Early 1900s.
I have been following Present & Correct for many years for their lovely stationery, but also their inspiring blog posts.
Happy Firework Night!

Olafur Eliasson at Tate Modern
Visit to Olafur Eliasson exhibition. Tate Modern.
Finally, I got to see the exhibition by Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. It was as inspiring as the installation The Weather Project (2003) - the big sun - in the Turbine Hall, which is still my favorite work shown in that space. It is not a free exhibit- we went round twice. I highly recommend taking music and headphones, for me it would have heightened the experience in the fog room.
