Isle of Dogs to Limehouse Cut and on to Hackney before entering the City and finding The Barbican.

479
Ducting outside The Barbican.

478
Bedwyr Williams at The Curve, Barbican. Installation evoking outside and intimate spaces.

477
Gunther Forg at Vilma Gold.

476
K P Brehmer at Vilma Gold. This is a swatch chart that was used (by the German authorities I think) to colour-match media articles. The assumption was that political agitators would create graphics that were darker brown the more extreme their content.

475
A new type of zebra crossing. Looks like artwork is by Camille Walala, the artist who does amazing building facades.

474
Phillipe Parreno of Pilar Corrias gallery showing at Tate Modern. Sound installation space.

473
Mark Titchner of Vilma Gold, showing public art on Southwark Street.

472
Great plaster-removal mural in Hackney.

471
Water processing building on the North Bank of the Thames opposite what used to be called the Millenium Dome. The decorative features and facade evoke (to my mind) classical forms associated with the Greek Parthenon as well as pop.

Gallery run 22nd September

363
Celia Paul at Victoria Miro. Wow! There is really very little there to create this striking image.

Erik Lindman at Almine Rech with steel sheet and paint images. The windows were opened to the gallery and the light coming through them accentuated the reflections on the metal including a line cut with angle grinder.

365
Tacita Dean at Frith Street Gallery filming David Hockney in his studio having a cig break.

366
Nigel Cooke at Pace Gallery with images transforming nature into iconic images of fire and the skull on base layers but layered atop with innocent flourishes from 19th century romanticism.

367
Alison Katz at The Approach with paintings that match up in part to stories she tells on the press release about road trip adventures and other experiences of travel and discovery.

368
John Cage musical score at Frith Street Gallery using systems of chance to make artistic decisions.

Checked out the galleries in the East. Portraits from Paul P, shiny surfaces in a group show called The Green Ray and Becky Beasley shows a carefully repaired drawer. Philipp Timischl has a delicate installation and finally some East End meters.
131Turville Street near Brick Lane has these openly exposed gas meters that are an ever-changing prop in various works of street art.

132Renee So at Kate MacGarry. The smoke plume mirrors the Assyrian beard in this tapestry. The figure is boot-like as a recurring motif.

133Paul P at Maureen Paley.

134Signed in at Laura Bartlett this morning about 12.25! This artefact is in the gallery itself.

135Becky Beasley at Laura Bartlett. The drawer artwork is being fixed by her partner about whom the show is partly based.

136Philipp Timischl at Vilma Gold. Good show.

137Juliette Boneviot in The Green Ray at Wilkinson Gallery, which is also her gallery. The show is based on a rare 5 second (or so) phenomenon whereby the red setting sun appears green due to a sudden change in …. something!

138A door on Vyner Street near Wilkinson Gallery.

139Anna Barriball of Frith Street Gallery in The Green Ray, a show at Wilkinson Gallery. Thickly layered graphite on paper looks like a leaded sunday window.
