On An Opening of a Gallery and On Running a Temperature
Yesterday evening, one of my temporary housemates (Oliver) here in London invited me to an gallery opening. Like the other two housemates (Hannah and Steve, who designed the logo for this gallery), he is an art student, interested in impact of ICT on art creation and its dissemination. Yesterday opening didn’t have anything to do with his web interests tho. Instead, he helped to build the gallery. The current exhibition is called Beautiful Seedy, featured by Steve McIntrye. At first, it seemed a bit odd, a vibrator and a phallus drawer. Then I read the accompanying and I like the idea behind the drawers. As the artists says:
“The sexual content of the work is intentionally interactive, opening a drawer by means of a phallus or a vibrator is an ironic gesture towards the upsurge in sexually based material and modern society. We live in an era of Pornographic Chic, where the use of sexual images is prevalent in everything: from clothing to the release of a new song … “
Nice drawers, huh?
Then I went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night, shaking and quivering all over my body. At first I thought that the weather had gotten worse but then I realised was me. I measured my body temperature and what a pleasant surprise: 39,5. In London. What could I want more?? What an appropriate timing. Well, I didn’t wait for another moment but got up and took some medicine I had brought with me. Then I got myself tucked up in bed and started to sweat … so right now I think am doing much better. Oh well, am not gonna let the temperature spoil my plans;))
UPDATE
The temperature still here … a bit lower tho but I haven’t been able to do anything substential today. What a nuisance!
