" La tecnologia che, legata alla finanza, pretende di essere l'unica soluzione dei problemi, di fatto non è in grado di vedere il mistero delle molteplici relazioni che esistono tra le cose, e per questo a volte risolve un problema creandone altri."

Bryan Ferry at Usher Hall....

Edinburgh, May, 24

Another memorable concert with this gentleman. A good blend of Roxy Music, Ferry, and, of course, the "Dylanesque" songs. As usual, Ferry is supported by great musicians and the singing section with Fonzi Thornton in the front....is always special. The songs were performed as a "too short" version (pity !). Usher Hall was, by the way, a very pleasant place :)

Best in show: "Take A Chance With Me"....and all the rest.

Reclining Figure....1951

The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art

"This Reclining Figure was commissioned by the Arts Council for the Festival of Britain in 1951. But I knew that the South Bank would only be its temporary home, so I didn’t worry about where it was to be placed. If I had studied a Festival site to carefully, the figure might never have been at home anywhere else. As it was, I made the figure, then found the best position I could. I was simply concerned with making a sculpture in the round. And it was out in the open most of the time I was working on it.
