me and rothko : friends forever

apparently there's something wrong with the chimney, they're not very descriptive about it.

last time i saw this beast was in bilbao 2004.

didn't take any photos of the rothko retrospective (why would you even waste your time). the murals from the chapel are simply exquisite though i would like to see them in their original context without all the idiots - "no i don't think much of these, he's become a bit sloppy" - i kid you not. the seagram murals are breathtaking too but i'm looking forward to them being back in the main collection. if you come looking for me in london, that's where i'll be.

i love that no matter how much it pretends not to be, london will always be completely dickensian. god only knows what he was looking for down there.

Is the 'beast' in question some crazy spider? I couldn't really see too well from the photos. If so, it was outside the Tate Modern before Christmas last year. I remember the artist commenting on maternal security or something. Dunno, I found it a little menacing.
