Went to a new gallery place yesterday - Kinetica. In Spitalfields Market. All sorts of kinetic art. Mechanical. Electric. Magnetic. I'm not normally a person for art galleries, I don't have the patience, but I really liked this place. As did Arthur. A lot of the pieces were very appealingly ingenious but some of them were really actually beautiful. Especially this Bruce Shapiro thing (which was way to nuanced for me to photograph.) And the
Balint Bolygo's (one of which is badly photographed above.) Well worth a visit.
Dear Russell,
Not sure if you've come across this film, out in the new year, or if it will interest you:

I too enjoyed Kinetica, though preferred york's old automata museum, and the exhibits currently on Southwald Pier, Suffolk.
Great blog, and compliments of the season,
Andrew
