Today a few exhibitions at Maida gallery are closing. I anticipate the new projects, they shall be as cool as the previous ones. ;) When Klavka was not sick, we visited the gallery for a few times to see Klavka's two favourite items. The first was an empty dark hall with disco party lights dancing, whirling, shaking randomly in complete silence. Claudiuccia run among them, wanted me to join her. This masterpiece was created by "a young minimalist artist from Cuba". The other one was a, huh, sculpture. :) It made people with a specific "cultural background" to recal an old school joke:

- What is your height?

- 130 cm. (For example)

- A good spoon to paddle shit.

Yes, that was a spoon, even longer than my height (wo bi bu shang :) ) made of a whole oak trunk. The work was ugly rough - truly contemporary. :)

There were also "Unnatural disasters" (wars, genocides in the art), there were even Goya's works. I had no chance to go there without Aque, so I didn't look precisely at this exhibition.

And the coins are in their places - Klavka recognises most of the things depicted on them, except to the ancient Greek ship.
