I went to Zoo Art Fair yesterday with a few people from my course. We thought it would be a friendlier, less intimidating and more manageable alternative to Frieze but it was very disappointing. Most of the work was either really bad or badly presented and the gallery stalls and the work in the exhibitions didn't really make use of the wonderfully crumbling victorian warehouse that it was held in. shame shame.
Went for a little gallery tour around Vyner street later on to make up for the disappointment where I discovered Mariele Neudecker's work. I will definitely find out more about her sculptures/installations as they seem to tie in with my work.

I am off to the Sadler's Wells Theatre now to see 'In the spirit of Diaghilev', a tribute to the revolutionary art director and his ballet company 'Ballets Russes' (which had its 100th anniversary this year).Wayne McGregor and 3 other contemporary choreographers have all created a new piece and collaborated with various artists and designers, one of them being Hussein Chalayan, who created some of the costumes. Exciting!!
