Review
Jamie Theakston (English tv presenter with a desirable nose) was there, =
so don't stare, he's quite plain and badly dressed in a purple coat. The =
fair is the unspeakeable (collectors, hangers on) in pursuit of the =
inedible (lots of bad paintings and dull photos). Occasionaly something =
jumps out from the morass of bog standard contemporary artifice, a few =
Andy Warhol drawings of cats, an Albert Oehlen painting, a little =
Matisse. It's dazzling the difference between what is good and all the =
rest. Makes you wonder whether those old buffs were right about their =
value hierarchies. Now the only diffentiation is between the various =
repulsive levels of personal success and respect to be obtained: vips, =
super vips, gallerists, celebs, important people, famous artists, those =
with special passes, those that shall not queue, those that walk along =
thinking others will move out their way, humble uninvited people who =
wait outside for reentry tickets to be discarded, the beautiful, the =
ugly, the rich, and the poor (not just artists).=20
That's the fun of this glorious bright yellow fair in the greeen cold =
treey park. It's a spectacle of society, and not for seekers of =
metaphysical greatness or sympathetic humans.

winter

Review
Winter is falling. All around me I hear people grumbling about the cold, =
the grey rain and early nightfalls. I like winter. It's a cosy time of =
year. There is something comforting about wrapping up snugly but feeling =
the bitter cold bite your nose. Nighttime becomes magical and exciting =
in the city. I work in an enormous, indoor rabbit hutch with thousands =
of other office rabbits. At the end of the day, most of them scurry out =
into the night to head to their domestic hutches as quickly as possible. =
So afraid are they of the cold monster that they forget to pause to =
marvel at the trees shimmering in the night light or to feel the warmth =
generated by the buzz of the city. And if you're lucky enough to be near =
the sea, why not be seadaring and eat your fish and chips on the pebbly =
beach under the blanket of stars? Winter is good.=20
