International Women's Day

After a morning of training it was an absolute delight to find my friend Lucy had set up a stall on her day off to sell cakes for Oxfam as part of their International Women's Day. I had a bakewell cake and it was lush!


edit - end of the working week is finally here, stayed late in the office to tie up some bits and someone just posted this on facebook and it made me tear up at my desk! Very touching.


Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.

At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed 'The Artist Is Present' as part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened.
