Thank you to all the artists who contributed to 𝘼 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝘽𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨. It was a pleasure to work closely with long-standing friends and with new collaborators whose work I admire.
Installed across three adjoining rooms, the works create a shifting rhythm that turns the gallery into a responsive environment.
There are only a few days left to see it; the show closes on Saturday.

@sophiewahlquist ‘s ceramic sculpture that doubles as a light feels like it’s growing. It twists upwards like a tree with its skins and folds, lightbulbs protruding like defiant thorns. Sophie’s lamps have their own sense of posture and gesture. They appear to bulge, stretch, bloom and want to speak to you. 🫛🪸🌱🪷

Postcards from Egypt 〰️ celebrating the turn of the year under the Western Desert sun and beneath a vast haloed moon at the foot of the White Mountain, home to @adrereamellalsiwa . The lodge is built from salt rock, mud, and clay drawn from nearby salt lakes, conceived as a revival of pre-modern Siwan building knowledge ( no electricity, no concrete, little glass ) relying instead on candlelight, thick walls, salt windows and orientation to wind and sun. The absence of electricity sharpens perception. The food was exceptional, best we had in Egypt. There is a small gorgeous Lee Miller museum on site. A sunset desert safari was a highlight, as was seeing Nut painted across the ceiling of the Tomb of Si-Amun on the Mountain of the Dead, alongside vivid falcons, vultures, and other divine figures.

Opening Tonight | A Collection of Behaviours
Curated by Stéphanie Ruth @stephanieruth___
Please join us tonight from 6-8 pm for a cocktail reception celebrating the opening of A Collection of Behaviours
The exhibition presents sculptural lamps by twelve international artists who treat light as a living material. Each work enacts a behaviour — stretching, swelling, or coiling — so that illumination communicates with matter to reveal its own distinct temperament. Installed across three adjoining rooms, the works form a shifting rhythm of light that turns the gallery into a responsive environment, more organism than display

October’s mood (board) 🃏 “Life is either too empty or too full. Happily, I never seized to transmit these curious damaging shocks. At 46 I am not callous; suffer considerably; make good resolutions – still feel it as experimental and on the verge of getting at the truth as ever… And I find myself again in the driving world wind of writing against time. Have I ever written with it?” Virginia Woolf
September’s mood (board) ⛓️💥 I hold a beast, an angel and a madman in me, and my enquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, down throw and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression. Dylan Thomas ♠️ eclipse season over…..
A love letter to the @barbicancentre 🩶
« Mona Hatoum x Giacometti », full of pathos — Giacometti’s Nose, once protruding past its frame, now suspended and confined in Hatoum’s Cube , against a skyline collage of architectural textures; the exhibition in dialogue with its setting. 🥅🗝️🍃 Sitting in the sun in your communal garden after a torrent of rain, reading about when the Luftwaffe bombed 35 acres of the City in 1940, and how your name — Barbican, fortification — recalls the Roman wall that once stood here. The smell of wet stone mixes with greenery, and the soundscape carries a soft hum of city, footsteps, the rise and fall of fountains like mini performances, and a non stop murmur of conversation. ⛲️🧮🗿 I learned that by the 1950s only 5,000 people remained (down from 100,000) in this hollowed centre of London. Chamberlin, Powell & Bon had a vision and sketched out a new way of living through concrete, water, and air. 🔭🪞🍃 The day closed with a dazzling performance by Sean Hayes in ‘Good Night, Oscar’. Thank you, my Barbican.

Wanda Wulz, Untitled, 1932 🐈⬛♨️🖤
Wanda Wulz (1903–1984) was a photographer based in Trieste, Italy. She focused on portraiture and experimented with techniques of superimposition and motion blur. Working from her family’s studio with her sister Marion, she developed a distinct visual language that explored time, movement and transformation in photography and often used performers and dancers as subjects.
This 1932 photograph shows her fascination with rhythm and repetition, echoing the interest of the Futurist movement she briefly joined. Wulz draws out a gesture across time. The simple arm movement looks choreographed.
