Dali would
love Newcastle. It's one of those places where you really can't be sure what you might encounter when you step outside the
door. Newcastle has a rather charming bogan/cool clash thing going on. Cool won out last Friday night at
Ryan Fitzgerald's exhibition. With wine dyed
black, a
man/lady sipping champagne coyly from a trapeze, an oracle, a roving man playing a harpsicord - I think - and lavishly dressed dancing
girls, this was an opening like no other. Ideas for future
Midweek Socials were spinning round my
head as I watched the man with cornflakes stuck to his head - yes, really. Everyone was in amazing costume with a friendly vibe. And a great show too.
