sunday
was a more relaxed experience for all of us. apart from the permanent exhibition and the continuous slideshow from international photographers an outdoor workshop in paint and clay supervised by maria carvalho and sabine portela was enjoyed by many children, adults and people in between. strange and extraordinary clay sculptures were produced and 3 primary colours were mixed together to create both brownish and decidedly un-brown prints on a sheet of brown paper about 7 metres long. much fun was had, and much smearing went on. children played draughts (checkers to you) and spillikins (mikado to you. or pick-up-sticks) in the back room where the schools library service set up a display on the theme of a rainbow of brown. towards evening peter pick showed his own brown slideshow with music by richard miles and himself, and then played his video again, this time not quite so loud. there was more african music.
eventually, everyone started to go home and various sabines and their friends tried to eat delicious cold food in salle 1 before the children ate it all. no easy task.
