For Easter we went to the new Nottingham Contemporary Art Space. It is great! Great shop! Great things for kids to do and interesting exhibitions. There is also a fab cafe which sells egg and fingers and artic roles for the kids.
The current exhibition is Star City . . this is what the blurb says . .
How was the future imagined under Communism – and why is that vision so important to us today? These are the questions that Star City, named after the USSR’s secret cosmonaut training base, sets out to explore. It features the work of leading artists who grew up in the former Eastern Bloc and have emerged as international artists during the last decade – Althamer, Kusmirowski, Macuga, Mir. Star City also includes leading figures of the Eastern and Central European avant-garde from the 60s and 70s – Filko, Kabakov, Koller - together with other leading contemporary Western artists who have worked behind the former Iron Curtain – Jane and Louise Wilson, Otolith Group.
Mainly there was a big space man that you could run about it!!
I have been introduced to Twilight! I have not enjoyed a series of books so much since the Famous Five! I put off reading them or watching the films for ages as I thought it was just tween hype . . but I was persuaded by a friend and haven't looked back. I have bought copies of the book and sent it to lots of friends so that they too can be 'robsessed' Here is the very handsome Robert Pattinson who plays Edward Cullen in the films . . I am on Team Edward!
A typical crappy bank holiday! Weather miserable, but we thought we would take a trip to Rufford Park, to the somewhat disappointing childrens park. Cas enjoyed running around. He doesn't walk anymore, he just runs everywhere - usually away from us in the wrong direction. He loves it, but it is harder and harder to get him to co-operate. Usually we have to drag him away from things kicking and screaming! Joy of joys!
I bought these aerating shoes to try and sort out the lawn, which is such a mess. I will overseed it when the weather warms up a bit, but for now I just broke up some of the soil in the patches were the grass has worn away next to the path.
