Matt Johnson

It wasn't the best day I ever had, definitely. In particular due to the idiot, with whom I have to share the same sleeping roof, and to the chauffeur with a girl's name, which occasionally I bump into at exhibits and other stuff. So, for the exhibition of Matt Johnson (which had a so embedding sentence in the Press Release, "It has consequences. If it wasn't there, we wouldn't be here", expressed by Peter Higgs, Nobel Prize-winning Physicist, on the Higgs boson particle, with which I fell a kind of physical fusion), at Alison Jacques Gallery (London), I didn't have a unique or thoughtful comment. But, it is worth posting at the blog. To this, I also have to add a much boring talk, about a very much interesting topic, on colour and sound. While, throughout the day, I have managed to write the interview questions for AB, and send them to Joana. It was also a day for meditation, a boredom day.

On the other hand, it is this kind of situations that make my life worth living, though. It gives the hedge required to be in constant alert to possible situations that might arouse in life.
