Biennial

Sorry for the chronology of the last few posts- It's Sunday night and I'm just catching up. Any road- went out to eat after work on Friday at Room on Castle Street- a new(ish) flash(ish) restaurant in the business district. I had this Derrida style fish pie- all the constituent parts were laid out across a massive plate (scallops, salmon, prawn, a piece of pastry) and then drizzled with a really small amount of sauce. Sounded pretentious, tasted brilliant- I’ll definitely be back here. Didn’t have my camera as it was a spur of the moment meal but here’s their corporate picture of the bar (which doesn’t actually do justice to the grandeur of its setting in an old banking hall).

All ingredients unknown


We also enjoyed catching as much as we could of the final two days of the biennial this weekend. Here’s a picture of Marion and I ‘interacting’ with Shilpa Gupta’s pretty remarkable piece at FACT.
