Book of musings

Notes from a conversation about 'little books' and fragmentary musings in print

"i have rediscovered all kinds of fragments of bee thought this morning" [...] "i really ought to collate these and put them together as a book of musings!" [smb]

"a book of fragmentary musings"[...] "so many books collapse under the weight of their togetherness - it would be quite refreshing to read a collection of loosely connected, or even, often unconnected thoughts - Adorno has one called "Minima Moralia" - all fragments, between a sentence and a half a page, probably a hundred or so" [mvs]

Opening night at the Past, Present and Future group exhibition at Shine Gallery Space was a huge success with well over 400 guests braving rain, wind and traffic to join the celebrations!

A selection of works from the Dances with Light series, by Photographer, Shari Baker, were commissioned by the gallery and form part of the 'Past, Present and Future' group exhibition. The five pieces included explore the theme of light and movement and respond to the newly renovated gallery space at Shine.

During the evening young performance students at Thomas Danby College, put on a series of magical twinkling vignettes to entertain the guests and add to the movement and light theme. Lyndsay Din was the in-house photographer and fluttered around capturing the evening in photographs. Some of which can be viewed on her site.

Live jazz filled the atrium and completed the evening beautifully.

Kevin Hickson also began work on a new feature for the atrium of shine, a 'wish pinata'. Guests were able to join in the making of huge willow structures, which will eventually be filled with 'future wish' slips. The culmination of Kevin's workshops with the local community will be a festive event on the 21st December - the shortest day of the year. More soon...
