I didn't expect Do Ho Suh's keynote from the EDGE symposium to be so incredibly powerful and moving. He consistently explores the idea of transcultural displacement and transportable home, which is really relevant to many people. I appreciate how all of the works are intellectually engaging, poetic, political, thoughtful and come from sincere place, I can go on and on...
Had a great afternoon at Here East today with Kim Jarvis, Brian Jarvis and Pamela Goldspink. Lovely meal at Shane's Restaurant Oysters were amazing and a guided tour from Kim. This was topped off by the Queens birthday fly pass. What a great day would definitely recommend a visit X
Commuting here using the Here East shuttle bus is so easy. Great place!
Amazing venue. Great technology. Inspiring garden. I loved it
Love seeing this building rising from the Olympic legacy. Just hope what goes on inside matches the hype of those delivering it. Bit worrying it's left in the hands of building developers - hope the get more creatives involved if they want to match the vibe of neighbouring Hackney Wick.
Great!
