An Expensive Silly Walk, New pictures on The Great Wall of Ramsgate and The Turner Contemporary Gets a New Website.
I got a bit confused about what was new and what wasn’t so took a picture of each of the pictures. It was a bit gloomy this morning so they may not be that good.
Click on the link for the pictures of the pictures http://www.thanetonline.com/laptop111/id4.htm
I have just been told to publish the picture of the monochrome fabric on the great wall in higher definition, here it is http://www.thanetonline.com/laptop111/id6.htm
The Turner Contemporary has a new website at http://www.turnercontemporary.org/ and you will be interested to know that you will be able to hire the events space there to hold an event.
The events space holds 120 people theatre style or up to 80 cabaret style, it’s a bit pricey though at £950 a day not including the evening which will cost you an extra £750 see http://www.turnercontemporary.org/hire
They have also added another video of one of the art works they have been sponsoring, another in their series, The Ministry of Silly Walks, it appers on their website in rather a small size, see the bottom og this page http://www.turnercontemporary.org/exhibitions/hamish-fulton-kent-walk-series so here it is in all its glory.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
Interesting comparison of what is considered art in Ramsgate and what passes for art in Margate.
