Substitutions for a game never played, Visual Arts Centre of Richmond
Listening to opera on a Tuesday afternoon a block from home... Vesti la giubba (Put on the costume) from Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci. The artist donned her own big paper-mache head and then painted herself in her studio, amongst the many piles of toys to be seen strewn across works throughout the show - Clifford the big red dog, George the monkey and someone from Bugs Life, were all there, or so I'm told by my mini gallery guide.
I rather liked some dead bird + toy still life combinations - they were a bit Diary of an Edwardian Country Lady crossed with sinister rubber ducks.
