Lumsden and Away!

by Ruth Barker, 27 Sep 2009

Hello,

I was up in Lumsden this past weekend, chairing an Art Breakfast event that was hosted by the Scottish Sculpture Workshop (many thanks to them) and curated by the incomparable Merlyn Riggs. The keynote speaker was the fantastic Peter Jenkinson, who gave an impassioned presentation touching on (amongst other things) the death of the audience, the position of the periphery, and the importance of art and our engagement with it. The talk was followed by a breakfast of wholly gargantuan proportions, and a great deal of interesting conversation. Many thanks to everyone who came along and contributed. I hope to get some documentation of the day up the site as soon as possible…

…once I get back from Venice! I go tomorrow (Monday) and back next week, when I will (promise) post a catch up.

more later,
R
