We have terrific Friday nights at the National Gallery in Melbourne, where there are bands that play (I've seen Shonen Knife and Amanda Palmer at these events) and special exhibitions (I saw the Alexander McQueen last). Certainly not like the Tate, I'm sure, but I always finish the exhibition before any of my companions, so I take a drink and wait for them in the foyer while watching the crowd. Such a mix of people and styles. A glorious mashup.
The Tree of Life series 🤤 I fell in love with that super futuristic Mondrian triptych titled Evolution. Couldn’t believe it was from 1911. The room at the end with the Ten largest, felt so sacred. Reading this felt a lot like being there.

yes yes agree with all of this. It was my third attempt to see the show. So glad I caught it.
Few things are so lovely as walking about in a museum you love and know well. Exquisite prose, as always.
Yes agree. I feel my soul filling up. And thank you.
"The care in the air - nice.

Thanks Sherman. I’ve been feeling a bit low, work-wise today. You just pepped me up.
You're welcome.
