Brilliant exhibition of Alexander Calder kinetic sculptures, wire works and paintings at Serralves in Porto.

Calder's work is shown together with some by his great friend Joan Miro.

I've never seen his wirework pieces before. How the viewers movement changes their form is... wonderfully cubist.

This one dates from 1929.

This is a Joan Miro ('Cabeca', I think), currently on show at Serralves, Porto.

It returns me to the subject of M John Harrison, maps, self, and 'The Sunken Land Begins To Rise Again'.

A fragment of map - rising or falling? The rest of it subsumed under a tar-like coating, an almost desperate blotting out.

This, opposite one of his 'burnt' canvases, was a real thrill.

While in Portugal over the holidays, our Acquisitions Team collected sounds of the French garden @fundacao_serralves for our museum’s new gallery of Gardens, Parks & Memorials, coming to our 4th Edition Gallery Guide.
