Decide to go to London with Becky, Glasgow's LOWSALT gallery co-director. Dinner at Hoxton square, see the sculpture by Damien Hirst in the middle of it, was never a big fan (always liked his restaurants the best) do like this, it's night so we can't see the actual White Cube show. Try to get pudding at Les Trois Garçons but fail, rice pudding from The Best Kebab Shop in London on Stoke Newington High Street instead. Past the inflated Paul McCarthy sculpture to see the stunning Olafur Eliasson installation that opened that week. More Tate Modern, a rather large photo installation by Zoe Leonard.
Next day at the Freeze Art Fair. I'm glad it is happening. Suprised that none of the Dutch galleries have a stand there. Impressed with the Milan stand. It's not opening night and its massive I need at least five hours to take it all in, still we meet the New York dealer Chris D'Amelio, Cokkie Snoei who is with a collector. Talk to Sadie Coles. We see another Zoe Leonard picture A bearded lady? in a bathtub. Lovely Collier Schorr pictures. Gary Rhodes fantastic synthetic sculptures. The Modern Institutes consists of an abashment of black astroid blocks which scatter the central forecourt. Modern British bangers and mash for lunch followed by a walk at the zoo.
