Derek Jarman -- C/D

Has anyone seen the "Derek Jarman: My garden’s boundaries are the horizon" exhibition?

(And, more prosaically, is the catalogue worth buying?)

I realise that article may be the reason you asked rather than a reply to your query!

Thanks Jed_ - it partly was.

I have to confess I had one of those Coronavirus moments when I thought "Nah, not traveling into London for that" but in a way that made me feel a bit wearied and sad.

yes, I feel the same way about it.

Looks good, try and go to this.

derek jarman's garden is a bit less impressive if you actually go to visit it as every garden there looks exactly like it. Those are the plants that grow out of the rocks which are all over the place on that stretch of dungeness. him turning to sea kale is like me deciding to turn to dandelions in my garden -- they are there whatever I do.

I do like his yellow windows though.

Excellent piece on this Jarman film:

Watched Sebastiane tonight and it was pretty great I thought, kind of sadomasochistic but also beautifully strange and homoerotic, and all of the dialog was in Latin
