Beckett's To The Wall
January 14, 2007

We finally got to see the James Turrell exhibit at the Louise T. Blouin Foundation on Saturday. Fantastic Building, if a little tucked away. I thought the entrance of £10 was a bit steep for what is in effect 20 prints and five "projections" but you don't get to see his work too often over here.

The last time I saw any of Turrell's work was for the eclipse of the sun on August 11th, 1999. Turrell conceived two perceptual spaces: The Elliptic Ecliptic, a "Sky Space" built on a hillside facing St. Michael's Mount, and Arcus, a "Shallow Space" construction in the Newlyn Art Gallery.

After that we wandered over to Books For Cooks, which was far too crowded to browse around but I did spot the painting of Samuel Beckett [above] on the corner of Blenhiem Crescent and Portobello Road. I can't believe I've not noticed this before. Anybody got any idea who was responsible for this?
