I did a search on Boo, and yes some interesting imagery. Thanks so much for the tip and for stopping in.

Great! Visit anytime. By the way, have you seen younger sister Boo Saville’s blog? I think it’s called Let’s Die Together. Some interesting images.

V in the V, thanks for stopping in. I visited your blog and felt immediately at home. Your sensibility is one I can wrap my arms around. I’ll be visiting you again.

It’s nice to hear that someone else is still as obsessed with the Saville lecture as I am. And I think you’re right–the Whiteread show is pedestrian. I liked the dollhouse installation though. Couldn’t help myself, really. Had to stay in that dark room for a while, like when you take a walk late at night and grow cold watching the light in everyone else’s windows. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello. I’m glad there’s another Saville fan nearby!

GS, Oh I wish there was a Saville show but unfortunately this was a one night lecture. And I haven’t written about the Rachel Whiteread show at the MFA because I found it disappointingly pedestrian. Tara Donovan at the ICA is worth a visit (free on Thursday nights BTW). Thanks for your words, I’ve missed our chats.

True luscious and repulsive genius, the anti-fashion magazine. Time to get my butt (I hope not Saville) out of my chair this weekend and visit this and a couple of other exhibitions I’ve been dying to — but to exhausted to — see. Oh, and I spent all day trying to think of Francis Bacon’s name, seeing his images, describing him to my husband who could only come up with Lucien Freud. What a relief to see Elatia’s citation. There is no way to find an artist you just see in your head with no words.
