Gerty, am I a clone?

I saw the 2009 sci-fi film Moon (directed by Duncan Jones and starring Sam Rockwell) on my flight home from London earlier this week.  It's such a sad, powerful and challenging movie in the sense that it confronts me with questions of existentialism.  Without spoiling it in case you've never seen it, here's a short clip:

Chromascopic

Another exciting show I went to see during my current trip to London was Chromascopic at APT Gallery, a group exhibition curated by Laurence Noga and Ben Gooding.  The focus of the show is to "examine, explore and celebrate the non-figurative flourishing of British colourists in the twenty-first century".  Clearly, the curators did an excellent job.

And the icing on the cake is that I got the chance to meet and chat with one of the friendly curators Laurance Noga finally after following him virtually for years.  I look forward to more inspiring projects from you in future, Laurence.  Congratulations on the great show!
