My last four days feel like a lifetime.

There was some great art in Chelsea and our first stop was to see Mika Rottenberg’s ‘Bowls Balls Souls Holes’ at Andrea Rosen Gallery.

On the way out through the revolving bingo door we bumped into our old friend Eamonn Maxwell from Lismore Castle Arts.

In the evening we went to a wonderful thank you evening hosted by Tate. Jet lag and Richard Tuttle talk was a little challenging but my dinner partner George Condo took it in his stride!

Then it was bye-bye Manhattan and hello Red Hook. Back in the home of The Still House Group it was no surprise the gang had been working away to create more art. Peter Sutherland’s residency had led to him creating a lot of new works including a bottle tower with each bottle having its own individual identity.

There were also more of his curious photo rocks.
