I've seeing the work of plenty artist practitionerrs this week - in the US.  So I'll try and catch up the week, mainly in images. I do in any case intend to make this diary more image-led - more of a visual diary. How that's going to work out in practice remains to be seen.

Chicago - Anish Kapoor's 'Cloudgate' in the snow

Museum of Modern Art - New York.

Arrive just in time for free Friday night. Crowded festive atmosphere. Good opportunity to see paintings in relation to audience - the different audience responses which different paintings create.
