Guestbook Art
Went to see the summer show at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts.
Great show but I found 2 guestbook entries most interesting.
Click to enlarge. It reads, from top to bottom:
"At the beginning it was great but then it got boring."
Carlotta, 7 years old: "The staircase is great!"
"Very nice and tender, it enspires (sic) and the eye can relax!
Sigmund (6 years old): "What a pity there aren't more willies in this room."
At another installation, the guest book was used for an entire conversation:
"Hi Tim, I put your jacket in the kitchen, thanks again, Jan."
"The jacket is not there anymore it stands (sic) at mine."
"I have a second jacket, will swap for paint! tom"
Not a guest book but actual art: An installation in the staircase: 'Follow the keys'.

Art in my hallway
I have found a place to live! I now 'take up residence' in a Brooklyn artist's loft. What sounds very nice and fancy is in fact a former chicken plucking factory, opposite a plastic factory. Yes, it is noisy. Also, there's a chicken meat factory around the corner and you don't want to walk past it if you ever want to enjoy chicken meat again...

Walk the Doig
Peter Doig at the Tate Britain.
Definitely worth seeing though I think his work is weirdly inconsistent; some of his work I really like and some I hate. His work was also exhibited at 'the painting of modern life' at the Hayward Gallery recently. Here are scans from the exhibition pamphlet (excuse the low quality).
I like:
Lapeyrouse Wall, 2004
Music of the future, 2002-7
Jetty, 1994
The house that Jacques built, 1992
Ski Jacket, 1994
Concrete Cabin II, 1992
I Don't like:
Milky Way, 1989-90
Metropolitain, 2003
Gasthof zur Muldentalsperre, 2000-2
Country Rock, 1998-9
