Have started to think about White, the new baby show I will be working on. At the New Vic the room I do the show in is separated by curtains and many of the children really enjoy them. A small boy loved turning in them the other day. A lot have enjoyed pushing them and the shapes they have created on the opposite side from them have been great
I like the idea that you might be able to see through them at some point and had also been thinking about net curtain. Covered but seen. In but out. For a baby could be quite fascinating. Pretty horrible for us though... Yesterday, Rob and I had a day off so we got out of Manhattan for a few hours and went to a place called Dia:Beacon. It's about an hour outside New York and is a gallery for large scale contemporary art works, many of which are amazing.
What was fascinating was that there were a small group of children, aged 1-4, who were also enjoying the works. Particularly one of four huge pieces by Richard Serra. It was collosal. It dwarfed the children...in fact it dwarfed everything. It was a huge piece of rusted metal wall. It was dark and shadowy yet the children were happily enjoying the space. Made me think about conventional materials for very small children. Thought it was interesting that the size and substance wouldn't be most peoples idea of what a toddler would enjoy, but this group were and suspect they are not unusual in that. "What interests me is the opportunity for all of us to become something different from what we are, by constructing spaces that contribute something to the experience of who we are." - Richard Serra You can see a couple of images of Richard Serra's works on their website: http://www.diabeacon.org/exhibitions/introduction/96 My House has been reviewed while in New York:

It was great. Not least because it was a reminder how far the sector in Scotland has developed in the last 20 years. Quite amazing really.
