Oooh. I’ve got to go see that clock! It’s fabulous.

Thanks, Lev. Loved the Berlin Phil's Cage but surely Petrenko took it too fast?

I didn’t realize that you lack hummingbirds. Too bad. I have an interesting relationship with these beautiful jewels. As a ginger-haired lad, I have found that hummingbirds may think I’m a flower. More than once, I have heard the buzzing of what I thought was an insect approaching my ear only to realize that it was a hummingbird. Fortunately, they did not attempt to collect nectar from my ear.

Hi Lev. I too have a fascination and love of hummingbirds. I was lucky enough to see one while holidaying in Antigua last year and managed to capture it on video. Loved your article! https://open.substack.com/pub/rosygee/p/my-feathered-friend?r=faoyr&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post

Well the Rodney Graham piece certainly knocks Longplayer into a cocked hat, lengthwise. It’s been going 23 years so far, only another 977 to go. Still, well worth a visit to Trinity Buoy Wharf if you’re in the vicinity https://longplayer.org/about/

How brilliant! And I had no idea it existed. Artangel put on a brilliant exhibition about birds’ nests a few years ago. Will definitely go and check Longplayer out. Thanks!

Schiphol Airport makes hanging around almost bearable - as well as the clock (which I spent far too long watching) it has an actual ART GALLERY, with a rotating collection from the Rijksmuseum. And then of course it has waffles...

Beat that, Heathrow.

The best time to start building a cathedral was 200 hundred years ago. The second best time is now.
