comfort...



when i first saw Leandro Erlich's installation
the swimming pool (2001)
it was a strange experience...

i saw it first, as was intended, from above.

it brought up a lot of crazy feelings.

i was unsure about how i would deal with *below*
but took a deep breath
and went for it...

when i first arrived below the surface
there were others already there
many of them disorientated and unsure...
and one by one they left

so i lay alone,
on the bottom of the pool,
for a long, long time


watching
and being watched...

it was a wonderfully strange
yet
weirdly comforting experience...

(a german tourist took photographs of me from above...and
promised to email them to me
for a different perspective...)

best. exhibition. EVER.

21st century: art in the first decade
is the most wonderful
exhibition...

it was, i am certain, curated by a true 'kidult'
and features a giant twin slippery-slide...
(by Cartsen Holler)

as well as
architectural Lego to play with...
(Olafur Eliassson's The cubic structural evolution project 2004)


and an infinity room complete with water floor
and uv lighting, for total mindbending!
(Yayoi Kusama's 1966/2002 soul under the moon)


other must-sees include the amazing installation with live finches
(from here to ear (v.13) by Celeste Boursier-Mougenot)

the gallery filled with purple balloons
(and yes you can go and play in them!)
(Martin Creed's 2008 Half the air in a given space (purple))

and my personal favourite
the illusory swimming pool creation of Leandro Erlich
(the swimming pool 2001)

the exhibition is on until April 26th

leaving it all behind...





inspired by ray




she lifts her skirt up to her knees,
walks through the garden rows with her bare feet,
laughing...
