L`Ombra del Leone Cafe San Marco, Bumper Ballet, Elisabeth von Samsonow @ Spazio Ridotto, documented by Juergen Teller - venice so far....

Travels so far in Venice.....

''Bumper Balletis a new installation of media art collective DROPSTUFF.nl and the latest addition to the ongoing artistic project The Fair Grounds, where an amusement ride doubles as an ‘art installation’ and a vendor doubles as a ‘performer’.'' click here for more info

Saw this amazing, well thought out performance at the Opening of The Parents Bedroom by Elisabeth von Samsonow @ Spazio Ridotto . It delivered the magic and wonder i recognised in my self as a child, picking up the possessions and ornaments as in wonder and studying them and the feeling and sensation of doing this as if it were a gift wrapped for a birthday.  I found she was exploring something from an angle id forgotten about when looking at objects as a child and looking at my own approch to ornaments and child hood and play in my own work.  

For more information about the exhibition visit here defiantly worth a visit with with art work, assemblage that appears like it an opening to a theatre with a curtain rolled p and a photograph (of a belonging/ object)  below. Also there is video which is also worth a watch of a performance realised in Munich in a public space and documented by Juergen Teller. ​

To end the evening we attended ​L`Ombra del Leone Cafe San Marco and enjoyed the offering of food and wine and conversations with other artists and curators. 

More previews today (one in the next hour and one later this evening) .... will take my good camera out today !
